After waiting 4 hours the next 3 picks will be over in 10 minutes.

[Andrew]

The sorting is a known issue with the utility. I think it has a note about it on that screen. Same thing happens with the awards and all-star voting.

[Matt]

Having issues with the draft utility...sent a PM to brad and matt so I will not hold us up.

I had the same issues after I manually sorted by name to add players in. Not sure if it's a Firefox problem (like Awards voting) but I assume it is.

I ended up having the Utility sort by Name then I was able to add players with no issue.

[Sully]

There's a couple in the Cape Cod that look good. Nicknames are Pizza and Deranged. Lol.

[umd]

He'll look good next to Coma.

[Pat]

Was looking at collegiate stats...

I think I found the #1 pick for 2005...USC SP Zack Reeves...

[Sully]

Miller scared me. That injury, and his stats regressed each season in college. My scout has him as a potential mid-rotation guy.

[Pat]

I like Vonada as well. Strikesout a lot but his senior season at Long Beach State was phenomenal. 24 HR, 65 RBI and a 1.162 OPS in 46 games?! He also looks to be pretty elite defensively and a plus runner. Not a leader but amazing intangibles.

Burkett was a guy my scout had high on his draft list but his ratings and report left a lot to be desired. I had three other OFs above him. Strange abilities. Hit just four doubles but 19 HRs this year.

Ron Miller is currently injured with a torn rotator cuff and won't pitch again until 2005 at the earliest. I've had success drafting injured pitchers. Throws 98 MPH. Has elite control. Very high leadership. Very high work ethic. Despite going 5-17 in college I think he could be a good one.

[BradZ]

Wilmington on the clock!

And then Carolina again!

[Sully]

Vonada is a nice pick. A well-rounded player. I don't think he becomes a star, but he's a safe bet to have a long career in the BLB.

[Sully]

Wilmington on the clock!

[BradZ]

Odds Squid auto picks first pick?

I've sent him an email alerting him to the fact he's on the clock, fwiw.

[Pat]

He picks 9th, 13th...and 18th.
