The Pacific Standard Time Draft Timer works as follows for today:
1:20 - 3:20 Kraken
3:20 - 5:20 Brewers
5:20 - 7:20 Anglerfish
7:20 - 9:20 AM tomorrow morning: Madmen
All other teams may pick one after the other after the Madmen make their pick. In other words, there is NO timer between 8 PM and 8 AM tomorrow morning. Once the Madmen pick, the Robots are up - no rush. After they pick, the Auk are up, and so on.
At or near 8 AM tomorrow, I will chime in with the 2-hour timer slots for the day.
By proxy the Kraken select Dylan Crews,
OF
Well I was hoping Dylan would come join the “family” team, but I guess we’ll have to be satisfied with the best pitching prospect in almost 15 years as a consolation.
The Brewers select Paul Skenes, RHP, PIT
Well had the kraken pick come in 19s later, you might've snuck in the other pick!
Anglerfish pick Wyatt Langford, OF, Texas Rangers
The Kraken confirm that pick. Thanks Rod. Sorry you had to cut it so close. The weekend events after Friday's memorial are wrapped up so I should be good to go now.
madmen select JUNIOR CAMINERO - 3B - TAMPA BAY RAYS
The Madmen made their pick while I was posting the order, so here's the updated order for today:
8:00-10:00 Roxbury Robots
10:00-12:00 Great Auk
12:00-2:00 Walla Walla Sweets
2:00-4:00 Arizona Koi
4:00-6:00 Hawaiian Garden Hammers
6:00-8:00 ACLs
At 8:00PM, the Argos are free to pick, and all teams may pick one after the other with NO timer happening until 8 AM tomorrow.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO EMAIL THE TEAM PICKING AFTER YOU. Things go MUCH faster this way.
Thank you!
Robots select: OF Roman Anthony, BOS
The Great Auk selects: C Ethan Salas SD
Walla Walla selects Addison Barger, IF, Blue Jays.
Arizona Koi select Walter Jenkins OF MIN
Hawaiian Gardens draft Rhett Lowder, SP
The ACLs draft
Sebastian Walcott, SS, Texas Rangers
By Proxy, the Argos select Max Clark, OF DET.
Lakeview Rougarou select Felnin Celestin, Sea IF
My Whacky Tubemen make Kyle Teel their first ever draft pick. Guess it's typical that the guys you want and had planned on get drafted JUST before your pick, and you're left almost flipping a coin on a pick.
Matt is usually doing that to ME! Welcome to the club.
Alright, Ed is up and essentially has until 10 AM tomorrow to make his pick. I (up after Ed) have got an early up time in the morning, so I'm heading to bed... For those trying to plan for tomorrow, just know I'll post the draft timer just before 8 AM. Whomever's turn it is when 8 AM rolls around, they'll have the 2-hour timer, and we'll get through at least 6 more teams by 8 PM tomorrow night.
Draft timer for today:
8 - Rattlers
10 - Thunder
12 - Dogs
2 - Landlubbers
4- Miners
6- Bums
By proxy:
Rattlers selects Brayden Taylor, 3b, TBR
‘He who shall not be named’ selects Jake Misiorowski, SP, MIL - just saying, this guy might surpass my anger for DeSclafani during recaps. On second thought, nope. Having to type Desddndndjsbebsizbdani just now still gives me chills.
Dogs select Hurston Waldrep, SP, ATL
Joey Ortiz, SS, BAL
I'm surprised ortiz lasted this long, strong player, good year. I didn't take him cuz I've got hoener blocking 2b, nice pick
It never hurts to have strong players to use as trading chips.
Miners draft Ben Brown, SP, CHC
Buoyed by the development of Cuban outfielder Adolis Garcia, Bako takes another Cuban outfielder, Yanquiel Fernandez.
Santa Ana signs Nolan Shanuel 1B LAA to close out round 1
Changed to Walker Jenkins.
Jim, if there's a Walter Jenkins who's an outfielder with the Twins, just say the word and I'll change it back. :)
