Uggghhhhhhhhhhh. I wake up and find that the draft made good movement last night, but not in any direction that helps me out at all.....Bergmann, who became a bullseye for me the moment Calbatross took AT&T, gone. Reverse LH Lannan, gone. Pair of jacks of all Trades for IF platoon/injury fills Easley and Wiggington, gone, the latter weaseled by my bro Mark AGAIN. Those were literally my top four guys. :cry: :cry:
With Akindian set to go next, I've put a stop to my proxies because I need to seriously reassess. I'll not get off the computer and will turn the proxies back on before I set up three picks, so we'll make the turn, but this AM unpleasantness has tossed a monkey wrench (or perhaps a barrel of monkey wrenches) into my plans.
And Zim: good call on Owings in an NL-only league. His card says he's an 8N hitter, which means he'll prolly hit better than almost everybody left on the board and half the guys on my team. :)
Finally: Dmitri Young is one of my sentimental MLB favorites, a comeback player of the year who came back from a lot worse than a sucky couple seasons, but he's way overpriced at that position with that glove. He'll surely end up on somebody's team that's got a lot of ca$h leftover after the draft (hello, Jason), but as much as I'd like him to backup Teixeria, I don't see how that happens.
