    Guess I'm getting the other A-Rod then. Was hoping for Seattle, but Texas will do

    *cough cough for people next round*

    Seriously, this draft is awesome, the franchise wrinkle is all sorts of fun.

    @DarthIntegral - Good job!

    Amazing.

    This should be the most obvious pick. Followed by ... I'm not certain the rest of the round.

    I have three picks in mind, and the fourth ain't bad, with a fifth "different value" pick (which I'd take over the fourth)... :p

    I think it's actually @tom again. He retained his pick your round and Cubbie will have the first two picks in Round 16

    i'm going to forego the probably smart pick and instead go with the sentimental pick and add a solid bat off the bench from that magical 95 season.

    edgar martinez, dh, 1995

    inty, i'm guessing his only availability is utility, but would pleasantly surprised to find out he could be used at third.

    I hate all of you... those were the three picks I'd have been happy with. :p

    EDIT: Now I'm torn between picks. Both good, but one makes fun of heels more...

    Oh, that reminds me: that King Felix pick is entirely up for a trade. If anyone wants to put together a player deal or a pick deal, make me an offer.
