You should thank me Vacek, I was going to take "your guy" at #71, but decided to do something out of my normal, with my 3rd round pick!

Who's your guy?

Ive already decided on who im taking at 76, unless Mark takes the guy I want.

There's one more guy I really rated on the board, otherwise Compton and Ebel were the last of my guys I really liked, and I thought Petry and Cannarella were really good gets at this point, too.

I'm really intrigued to see where my last guy goes.

Not sure I really thought you'd take my guy so much as I wanted to call you a "tricky Swede." Mission accomplished.

This you Dan?

No, that asshole definitely lives in Darien or somewhere else closer to NY than here. Pretty funny shit though.

That fits, my friend from Greenwich sent it to me.

Ok, not my guy. Guys with 30 pwr are not likely to hear their names called by the O's on draft day.

Good they'd rather hear their names called in October down the line...

ZZZZiiiingggg!!!

I think Landyn Vidourek is up for Guardians?

I was wrong on Vacek, had another INT picked out for him. Thought it too soon for Hartshorn, but he would be gone by #108, so you 'had' to.

I like Cook (++ D in CF), but way way way too soon for him.

You were probably pretty close, as I considered a few INTLs along with Hartshorn at 78, and almost pulled the trigger on the one I really love who's still out there, but I figured it more likely that one of them slipped to 108 than Hartshorn, and I wanted to add him.

I had Forbes pretty far up my list of best available. Was kind of hoping he'd be available at 108 if my primary target gets taken. Wishful thinking.

I think it's spelled "Melbourne" like the city. Just FYI

Huh. I was going by the BA Int'l board. Consider me corrected if MiLB is more official. Sorry for the confusion.

Is how BA officially has his player page ... Just looks like Balder misspelled it ...

Fixed again...(Vacek)

You suck, Pat. I thought about taking him at 78.

Jim is old. He will get that lyric.

CCR. Been rocking their record a lot lately. Id imagine a decent amount of us know them.

A lot of young bucks when we started this league, I’d imagine most of us have some grey hair now.

I saw John Fogerty perform at the casino last year. He's old, but it was still good. He had a couple of his sons on stage and they played all CCR tunes (and "Centerfield" of course). My current favorite is "Ramble Tamble" on Cosmo's Factory (a mind-blowingly great album), but I've been a huge fan of theirs since I was a kid.
