15th Annual Horace Mann Invitational

Chris,

I don't think the choices are obvious. I would be interested in your predictions for Meat (with his Astros) and for me (with my Mets). Don't post your guess here. Send it by private message here or email directly to me, and I'll put it aside and see later if you were correct.

Glenn, I would NEVER post a prediction here during a draft. I have been live drafting on these boards for 14 years!

I would have never predicted the Braves would go as the 17th pick.

I will predict that James' next posting is misspelled or at least posted twice.

Hey, I resemble that comment!

You know, back in the day of the typewriter, authors used to cross-out at least (and correct) in pen at least one thing on the page to show that the letter was written personally. So there, at least we have that!

So Glenn that means we can pluck spot starters off free agent list (from our 2 teams of course) and send down the guy who started yesterday. Effectively that gives us a 26/27 man roster. I'm fine with it but just want to make sure everyone understands the rules.

Yes, you can bring guys up and down.

However we are not playing with anything like the expansive ATG player. There is no trading; you just have the depth and reserves from your two teams. If you have extra starting pitchers in reserve, or you have skewed lefty and righty hitters in reserve, enjoy.

Also, we might need the depth. I'm not sure how this will play out, with hitters AND PITCHERS getting injured for up to 60 games!

Technically, Meat's two hour window is over (9-11am Eastern), but I'm going to give our West Coast friend a little more time before I jump in and make my pick.
