Sirius Industry League Draft From LV Tonight

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 11:13 am

At 8 pm EST, the Fantasy Channel on Sirius will be airing a live industry baseball draft with yours truly being one of the on-air commentators. Myself, Kyle Elfrink and Jeff Erickson will announce and analyze the picks and 13 industry writers will be making the picks and providing short feedback. The entire draft of 29 rounds will be aired live. Could be fun...or could be long.

Anyway, tune in if you'd like and see if I get in some NFBC references. And let's see if the industry pros see the players the same way that NFBC pros have so far in the early drafts.

This draft is also being hosted live on CBS Sportsline.com tonight. Look for a link there and feel free to post the results here for all to see. We can have some fun analyzing the pros here and get some analysis going.

Enjoy and partake if you can.

looking myself, can't find it -- but they just said on the Sirius/XM show that there will also be a link from Sirius/XM -- I am looking for that now.

Worst case I will type in the picks while listening to the show.

Tulo not in top 7 is somewhat surprising.

I listened to Ron about 4:45 cdt and he said he was taking Braun. Made a pretty good case actually, but man it's tough to pass on the two SS and Cargo with Braun.

Tell me how well hemade his case for Ethier in round 2?????????

Paul Gromek · Post by **Paul Gromek** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:42 pm

Shandler's Braun-Ethier OF-OF start is interesting.

that seems early for Ethier

Rotoworld went M Cabrera - Reyes - V Martinez

Reyes and V Martinez are really 2nd and early 3rd round picks? I don't see it.

oldwolf55 · Post by **oldwolf55** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:59 pm

Howard middle of 3rd????

Hard Heads · Post by **Hard Heads** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 2:05 pm

Scares me that I have one draft under my belt and Ron took two of my first 4 picks.

LOL
