My thoughts exactly.

Looks like we're making pretty good progress. I never did a pre-card draft before...will be pretty cool to see the cards of our players once they come out. There's bound to be some cards that disappoint compared to what you'd expect.

I have to say my keeper leagues don't even get me anticipating the new set as much as this though.

By the way, I was very happy to have Verlander fall to me!

I have a sinking feeling the player I'm targeting will be gone in the next 4 picks...

Been some nice picks in the last few, Span and Morgan were both guys I was hoping would last a little longer...

Yeah I think Morgan was a bit of a reach for where I took him. But I felt the need to grab him because
1.)He kills righties
2.) He's 1 at a premium D position
3.) I wasn't sure he'd be around for the last pick of the 6th round.

"By the way, I was very happy to have Verlander fall to me"

If you like lots of innings pitched, lots of k's, and low walks I think you'll be pleased. Great pick. I think he'll have a awesome card.

Tough, tough, tough decision on this last pick. Position scarcity wise it may not have been the smartest gamble, but I wanted another slugger and needed a non RH bat, Morales fits that bill nicely I think. Should slot right behind the Panda, and give me a nice 3 and 4 hitting combo...

I think the decisions are getting tougher as we go.

I was debating Adr. Gonzo vs. Morales. Adrian's 1 defense and righty-mashing won me over.

These are the rounds where the draft is won, gentlemen.

I was targeting Morales, Holliday, and Choo, all picked before me. Now I have to debate 2 or 3 options.
