Draft Day (Hour 7 & 8)
10:07pm Every team is looking to fill a few spots as we begin Hour 7. I'm down to a Middle Infielder and a couple Pitchers. This is where folks save up to try to grab a young up-and-comer at bargain basement prices.
10:10pm And, as I type, I fill one more position, Middle Infield, with Donnie Murphy for 20 cents.
10:15pm Then make a move, possibly for next year, by locking the injured Joel Zumaya in for 40 cents.
10:23pm And, my team is complete with Adam Loewen for 60 cents. Didn't accomplish my offensive goal, but hopefully can deal some pitching to improve. Now I get to sit and watch the rest of the draft play out, and hope some of my sleepers slip into the reserve round. With this group, I doubt it.
10:25pm Kenny Lofton is off the board. Another example of the "last seen" rule. Good pickup for a dime, assuming he lands somewhere and doesn't sit out the season.
10:40pm If this tells you where we are, the last five players taken were Morgan Ensberg, Kendry Morales, Manny Delcarmen, Rafael Perez, and Sean Casey. Not terrible players, in fact, a couple guys that could help if things break the right way.
11:00pm Still plowing through late round guys. Top prospects Matt Wieters and Travis Snider have been dimed.
11:17pm We're off to the reserves, which will happen too fast. I'll have a post-mortem on the night soon!
