Geoff, in Cuba, will be in by Thursday evening. If we hustle we can make the Friday deadline. If we don't, nothing lost. Knowing Geoff, he'll be in sooner. I'll let you know.

Geoff requested to change his final pick to Dwayne Murphy. The pick had been Chili Davis. If this impacts any draft lists, East teams can pull out of the league to make adjustments, then reload. I'm okaying this change since we've struggled with communication and I was pretty much guessing on a proxy for Geoff's last pick.

He will be loaded this evening or in the morning.

I'm carrying 11 pitchers this season, so I will be drafting Rafael Santana and then immediately dropping him for Neil Allen.

What’s the password? Expos are ready to load

I’m going with 12 pitchers so I’m loading a couple of ineligible hitters who I’ll be cutting right away

I’m in

Mets and Astros are in the West! Just two to go and we draft.
