I can see it now: My pick is gonna come up while I'm on a plane back to Tucson tonight. But hey, I love the faster pace. Let's keep it rolling, guys! Just don't pick any more of my targets, please.
Robots begin R3 with:
Jalen Beeks, SP, BOS, oh, wait, I mean, TB.
Rumrunners are next.
Rum Runners select Ethan Hankins CLE RHP.
I'm breaking my teams own mandate to draft young, but this guy just keeps on hitting...
Bums select Brandon Lowe, 2B/LF
Rainiers clock ran out at 5 PM. Brewers on the clock till 7.
By proxy, Brewers select Jordan Groshans, SS
Madmen select Heliot Ramos OF SF
Ramos is owned by the Bums
So, by my math, the Madmen had an invalid selection at 6:53, putting the Rougarou on the clock. It's more than 2 hours past, and I have the next pick.
Jonathan Loaisiga, RHP, NYY
Rougarou select Nate Lowe, 1b, Tampa Bay
Devils draft Ryan Helsley STL SP & Andrew Knizner STL C. I hope they are a battery in the bigs someday.
3.4 Rainiers select Ryan Rolison,LHP Colorado. It's hard to draft if you work nights since there isn't a timed schedule.
The ACLs go with Oneil Cruz, SS with their pick in the 3rd round.
Jason
Try this again...
Madmen select Enyel De Los Santos P PHI
Koi select Kevin Smith SS TOR
Nope. He’s not available either, as he’s the next ranked player on MY list. 😁
Sweets select Connor Scott OF, Miami Marlins
Dogs select Denyi Reyes - Boston, P
With all the catching prospects already taken, I'm very surprised the one I considered the best of the bunch coming into the draft is still there. Better take him now:
Daulton Varsho, C, ARI
I swear Kyle must be flying a spy drone out of my house with these picks...
Cache Hogs stay at the position and draft William Contreras, C, ATL.
I had Contreras just aftert Jansen in my overall catching ranks.
My catching list went like this (edit: besides Bart, whom I had no shot at hoping for with the 1.16 pick):
Varsho
Jansen
Contreras
............
And because I have Will Smith already, I was hoping to wait until round 5 to snatch one up.
2nd edit: never mind me... some of the guys I listed haven't been selected yet!
3.18 - Rum Runners select Nico Hoerner CHC SS.
Ann Arbor Landlubbers is on the clock.
Landlubbers select Cristian Javier, Hou, P
Robots wrap up R3 with:
Lazaro Armenteros, OF, Oak
River City is up to kick off R4
I don’t dispute Varsho was at the top of the list, but after Bart (whom *I* didn’t even have a hope of drafting at the 1.3 pick!) I had both he and Jansen as equal. But seeing as both are just a mere step away from the majors, I had others (namely my choice of Hernandez) ranked higher on my personal rankings.
In any case, quite the collection of catching talent on the board this draft.
WTF.. I feel like an idiot!
3fd time gotta be the charm... and yes I picking a Catching prospect, although a little late to the party. I did search the list of the rosters and I swear he is no where on it..unless there is a dreaded spelling error somewhere
Madmen select, for the 3 try in the 3 rd, MJ Melendez C KC...
I'm pretty sure Enyel De Los Santos was a VALID pick so unless I am missing something you didn't have to correct it.
I would rather my first choice. Between the email I got and the board saying my pick was invalid I choose again.
oh man, my reply to your pick was just a joke! I was totally messing with you, saying you couldn’t have him because he was next on my mock draft list. Did someone else email you to say Enyel was invalid?
Yeah that is what I thought also, but Darrell email me last night. When I read it I had a few beers and figured I would look in the morning. So I woke and submit my new pick. When I looked at the site for Round 3 summary it stated “invalid” next to my team name.
I gotta believe Darrell misread my joke. Enyel is valid. You want him instead of Melendez, is that right? If so, he should be yours and Melendez is still available.
Correct
Cool.
Dang, and I thought my joke was funny. :))
Windy City selects Jairo Pomares OF SFG
