Checking in. I'm partners with John Pausma (Trash Man on MB). We got our first KDS selection - #7.

Nice draft, fellas. A pretty mellow group.

Mighty Men,



How did the rest of the draft go for you and your partner after the first 10 rds? We made a couple of mistakes but nothing major (at least I don't think so). I don't think any one particular team stood out from the pack but I'd have to look at the draft board again.

-Hitless (picked from the 14 spot)

-Hitless (picked from the 14 spot) All in all, we are happy with our team. Once Upton made it to us, we were very pleased. Also, we had no OF until the last 15 picks, so we felt content with who we still picked up as OF after that.



The strange thing is, because we picked Kent at 15 after our infiled was full, we may have to switch Upton out to OF.



How about you?

Wow, no OF until rd 15? I'll have to take a look at your team once my co manager sends me a pic of our draft board...As for us, just the opposite happened. We had 4 OFs by the end of round 7. We didn't plan for this to happen and I'm still not sure if J Dye was the best pick for us at the end of the 7th round but we also didn't want to reach for a couple of players to fill our IF at that time.



Overall, I would've liked to have walked away with a better 2nd catcher and MI but otherwise we like our team. How many satellites are you in? Counting the March 24th satellite, I'll be in 2 of them (so 3 NFBC teams total).
