Draft Day (Hour 5)
8:04pm Hour 5 starts off with Luke Scott's number called. Former Tribe farmhand goes for $1.50. Could be a nice pick at that price.
8:13pm We're onto middle tier middle infielders, with Julio Lugo, Marco Scutaro and Alexei Ramirez up in quick succession. How high will Ramirez go? It's $1.00 for the promise of getting a young Alfonso Soriano.
8:17pm You know you're in a deep keeper league when the bidding really slows down over Wilson Betemit.
8:20pm The catching scrum resumes, as the bidding has erupted around Miguel Olivo. Well, not erupted, but one owner still needs both catcher positions filled. And he'll get one for 40 cents.
8:22pm An interesting name surfaces ... Bartolo Colon. Couple years ago this guy was a four-dollar pitcher. Now, we're crawling along in dime increments for him. He supposedly looked good last night, could be a bargain. He goes for 80 cents.
8:26pm This is when the draft gets strange. A mix of useful players, and young players not yet established. Carlos Quintin goes for a dollar.
8:30pm Channel 3 Sports Anchor Joe Brown continues to make cameo appearances, consulting with Reporter Vic Gideon on his team. Joe just expressed some disappointment that Vic has only picked one player in the last hour. Anchor Lydia Esparra also trying to figure out exactly what we're doing.
8:40pm Team financials entering the picture. One team is down to needing a single player, and has a buck-60 to spend on that player. Another team needs four players, but can't spend more than 20 cents on any of them.
8:50pm And the first dime player is sold! Mike Timlin's name is tossed out, and earns no bids. Always a good time when that happens.
8:52pm And our first roster is filled! Brandon McCarthy goes to the Unicorns, and he is done with the active roster. He leaves a dollar on the table, but only because he had a lot of good, young, cheap keepers.
