(12:13:51) Codgers: Ramon is very excited to be wearing the slamon and green, I am told
(12:14:25) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects P Todd Gustafson
(12:14:28) Alleghenies: Denny, who wouldn't be?
(12:14:34) Codgers: RIGHT
(12:14:38) Commish: FAR SP Kyle Gardner
(12:15:34) Wind_Dancers: Opps, sorry about that. Thought Fargo's pick was already posted
(12:16:08) Alleghenies: Since you jumped the gun, you have to pick anyone else ;-)
(12:16:19) Codgers: No one is taking any of the guys on my list....not sure if that means I have super scouting skills, or that all the guys are actually terrible
(12:16:19) Borealis: Hey Denny!!! Busy writing the Day 1 recap...
(12:16:35) Codgers: Aloha!
(12:16:57) Commish: CAN RF Raúl Costello
(12:16:59) Alleghenies: Great scouting!!!
(12:17:19) Commish: Denny is up.
(12:17:21) Codgers: That's what I tell myself :D
(12:17:24) Borealis: It was the Hack Denny! There's been little overlap it seems...
(12:18:10) Alleghenies: If it makes you feel better only 1 player from my list of 15 so far has been picked....
(12:18:10) Codgers: Palm Springs selects SP Bill Bishop
(12:18:39) Coqui: Hold on. I forgot where the pick player is
(12:18:46) Codgers: Our first high schooler of the draft!
(12:18:55) Codgers: It does Greg
(12:19:13) Codgers: Either we are both great minds....or both out of our minds
(12:19:25) Coqui: Yasushi Murata
(12:19:33) Alleghenies: I bet both!!!
(12:19:34) Coqui: Have to take the good with the bad in this draft
(12:19:59) Alleghenies: If you want to only take bad players it is ok with WV
(12:20:02) Commish: SJ RF Yasushi Murata
(12:20:40) Commish: Mike snuck in there on me...
(12:21:00) Codgers: heh
(12:21:06) Coqui: Figured out have to refresh the page I think
(12:21:13) Commish: KAL MR Tasuku Sugimoto
(12:21:46) Codgers: Yes Coqui, your warroom page does not refresh automatically like that main draft board page
(12:22:59) Commish: HAV MR John Neish
(12:23:13) Alleghenies: 3 more picks (fingers crossed)
(12:24:23) Commish: BAK LF Ramón García & C Rudy Stephens
(12:25:13) Commish: CAN C Tony Jarvis
(12:25:29) Commish: Greg is up.
(12:25:47) Alleghenies: WV picks 1b Krelis Knippschd
(12:26:13) Codgers: Whoa!
(12:26:15) Alleghenies: 1st round talent in 4th round according to my scout!!!
(12:26:33) Codgers: I thought about that guy, but his name didn't have enough vowels
(12:26:34) Commish: One of my names, there.
(12:27:06) Borealis: That is a good find Greg!
(12:27:13) Bulldozers: Knippschd the dippschd!
(12:27:27) Borealis: :-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*
(12:27:33) Admin: Longshoremen logs into the Chat.
(12:27:55) Bulldozers: Less Lipstick, Borealis.
(12:27:59) Alleghenies: My list now down to 11..
(12:28:00) Commish: KY CL Matt Clark
(12:29:04) Alleghenies: lol. maybe I'll make his nickname dippschd
(12:29:08) Longshoremen: Howdy, fellas.
(12:29:20) Commish: FL SP Jason Walker
(12:29:32) Bulldozers: He'll give the opposition knipschun fits.
(12:29:49) Commish: "Special K"
(12:30:02) Bulldozers: :D
(12:30:15) Alleghenies: He will be the ravers favorite guy
(12:30:49) Commish: AMS CL Clifton Parker & C Cristo Garza
(12:31:29) Codgers: Boy, we are just steaming through the fourth round here
(12:31:36) Commish: SS SP Jason Hall
(12:32:17) Commish: SA CF Freddy Arredondo
(12:32:32) Commish: On to Round 5!
(12:32:48) Commish: Bob is up.
(12:32:49) Borealis: YAY!!! We have a pick in this round!!
(12:33:08) Codgers: We don't :(
(12:33:12) Bulldozers: Yuma wants to join the Swedish party. To open round 5 we draft LF Niels Roerendaal.
(12:33:21) Alleghenies: I am just happy we got our #1 guy
(12:33:45) Bulldozers: Make that Rorendaal. (Too many vowels!)
(12:34:08) Alleghenies: Bob can I get one of your vowels for one of my consenants
(12:34:31) Bulldozers: And a 5th round pick, sure!
(12:34:41) Commish: LON MR Rafael Valdéz
(12:35:05) Alleghenies: I think Yuma had my 1st 2 picks this draft already ;-)
(12:35:11) Commish: AMS C Daniel Martin
(12:35:43) Bulldozers: Yuma tried to buy up everyone's first round pick, but no one was selling.
(12:36:06) Commish: REN 2B Paul Everett
(12:36:45) Alleghenies: I traded mine to you last season
(12:36:57) Commish: SCO SP Juan Gómez
(12:37:00) Alleghenies: but i would have gladly sold them back to you too lol
(12:37:08) Commish: Reg is up.
(12:37:52) Trendsetters: New Orleans select SP John Dobson
(12:38:14) Admin: Borealis has been logged out (Timeout).
(12:38:14) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.
(12:38:27) Commish: OKA 2B Charlie Greene
(12:38:35) Codgers: OK, I have nine guys on my draft list currently. How many will still be there when my next pick comes up in the middle of the sixth round, I wonder?
(12:38:59) Commish: SA CL Keith Jacobson
(12:39:04) Bulldozers: (whispers) There's always next year! Yuma gotta lotta developin' to do.
(12:39:53) Commish: NEO LF Roberto Camacho
(12:40:15) Bulldozers: Well, to compute the odds of that, Denny, you divide the number of picks in front of you by nine (a full lineup), then subtract your remaining picks and divide by 3 outs in an inning.
(12:40:25) Commish: FAR 1B Morton Savage
(12:40:42) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects C Trent Miller our of Louisville
(12:41:44) Longshoremen: Can I make my first live pick. . .
(12:41:49) Commish: CAN CF Bruce McCall
(12:41:49) Longshoremen: drum roll
(12:41:57) Longshoremen: Exactly.
(12:41:58) Commish: doh!
(12:42:06) Bulldozers: Holy moly!
(12:42:45) Codgers: *head exploding*
(12:43:22) Commish: KY CL Ramón Alfaro
(12:43:42) Coqui: Ray Miller
(12:44:14) Bulldozers: Does he play a position or you just drafting him for the bench?
(12:44:14) Codgers: Hmm....so closer Ramón Alfaro is who Kentucky took with the pick we traded them
(12:44:49) Commish: KAL SP Juan Jose Romero
(12:44:49) Codgers: I wonder how he will turn out
(12:44:51) Bulldozers: See, Denny, he's a reliever. You don't need a reliever. You can always trade next year's draft pick for one of my relievers.
(12:45:08) Codgers: That sounds great Bob!
(12:45:28) Coqui: Sorry SS
(12:45:32) Bulldozers: Any time, my friend. Like right after this draft, if you need a closer now.
(12:46:43) Commish: HAV SP Kyle Towrie
(12:46:51) Codgers: Note to self: trade all picks to Bob
(12:47:09) Bulldozers: Brilliant!
(12:47:21) Commish: BAK 3B Alfonso Reyna

(12:48:37) Commish: BAK MR José Quintanilla
(12:49:04) Commish: HAR SP Tim Corona
(12:49:19) Alleghenies: If Bob keeps throwing Pete Cartright, don't trade him anything
(12:49:35) Commish: BAK MR Kelly Ricks
(12:49:49) Bulldozers: What else am I supposed to do with Pete Cartwright?
(12:49:59) Commish: FL MR Ray Jones
(12:50:05) Alleghenies: release him
(12:50:14) Alleghenies: pitch almost anyone else
(12:50:34) Commish: DUL LF Alfonso Guevara
(12:50:49) Commish: Aurora is up.
(12:51:09) Bulldozers: How about a trade? You interested? Certainly a veteran pitcher is worth a draft pick?
(12:51:23) Alleghenies: I released him
(12:51:31) Alleghenies: when my team was under .500
(12:51:37) Alleghenies: I definitely don't want him back
(12:52:03) Codgers: Cmon....you totally want him back
(12:52:11) Bulldozers: Not even with a financial incentive? And free Colorado River water?
(12:52:20) Borealis: The Aurora Borealis select in the 5th round, outfielder Matt Davis from Sarasota HS...
(12:52:26) Alleghenies: I like financial incentives!!!
(12:52:29) Codgers: People can change! Maybe he's turned his life around
(12:52:52) Alleghenies: http://www.pebabaseball.com/repo​rts/ne ... 148​0.html
(12:52:57) Longshoremen: Damn you, Borealis! HE was 1st on my list.
(12:53:02) Bulldozers: Half a million plus water plus Cartwright for a first round pick next year.
(12:53:14) Commish: SS SP Perry O'Neil
(12:53:20) Commish: Greg is up.
(12:54:05) Alleghenies: WV drafts 2b John Gosselin
(12:54:33) Alleghenies: well either great scouting or I should fire my scout as I got my #1 and #2 guy
(12:54:55) Commish: On to Round 6!
(12:55:00) Commish: Bob is up.
(12:55:14) Bulldozers: Round six, gentlemen. Yuma opens the bidding with ... SP George Dudley.
(12:55:14) Codgers: Shin Seiki gets 'Sump'ed
(12:55:22) Codgers: er, 'Stump'ed
(12:55:30) Codgers: dang it, ruined my own joke
(12:56:04) Commish: LON MR Tom Church
(12:56:06) Bulldozers: You stumped yourself, Denny.
(12:56:38) Commish: AMS 1B Ralph Dunn
(12:57:32) Commish: REN 2B Lou Forbes

(13:02:10) Commish: Dylan is up.
(13:02:14) Wind_Dancers: Toyama select CF Alexander Buchan
(13:02:45) Commish: I won't step on James's toes this time.
(13:03:14) Longshoremen: LOL. Longshoremen select MR Larry Hicks.
(13:03:53) Commish: Bringing us to Denny.
(13:03:59) Codgers: Oooooooo!
(13:04:02) Coqui: Was going to take a chance on Hicks soon :(
(13:05:25) Codgers: I'm not able to draft anyone....looks like Canton's pick has not been officially recorded yet
(13:06:04) Codgers: Dang it, that orange was a leeeetle too hard to read
(13:06:10) Coqui: Can I jump up and grab him? :D
(13:06:18) Codgers: hehe
(13:06:48) Commish: Mr. Mathis...
(13:07:49) Alleghenies: James refresh your draft warroom and then draft him
(13:08:19) Codgers: See, this is why we don't want you drafting for yourself James :D
(13:08:19) Commish: I went ahead and did it for him.
(13:08:48) Commish: Back to Denny.
(13:09:03) Codgers: Palm Springs selects CL Jorge Guerra
(13:09:42) Codgers: Who seems like sort of a jerk from what we can tell, but might also possibly be converted to a starter
(13:09:43) Coqui: P Ren Yosida
(13:09:46) Alleghenies: Damn, now I know my scout sucks
(13:10:21) Commish: KAL CL Ernie McKee

(13:13:51) Longshoremen: D'oh. Sorry guys. LOL
(13:14:21) Commish: NEO SP Joe Mills
(13:14:38) Coqui: I got my 3 top guys on my list today but here is where it gets depressing
(13:14:47) Commish: FL MR Lynn Givens
(13:14:49) Codgers: I move that we revoke James' drafting privileges again >:-D
(13:15:29) Coqui: 2B (and everywhere else) Carlos Dixon
(13:16:23) Codgers: This draft I have been almost totally dependent on my scout.....I hope he knows what he's doing
(13:17:55) Codgers: My guy liked Dixon
(13:18:41) Trendsetters: I honestly ran out of interesting players..
(13:18:53) Trendsetters: my scout doesn't think much of this draft pool at all
(13:19:40) Bulldozers: My scout went on vacation and never examined the pool. Except the swimming pool at the resort he vacationed at, of course.
(13:21:12) Borealis: Aurora selects P John Grant out of Osaka Toin HS with the 6th round pick....
(13:21:21) Borealis: Thanks Morris!!
(13:21:22) Alleghenies: WV picks C Daniel Gallacher
(13:21:48) Codgers: Once the draft gets going I get caught up in just trying to get the best guy relative to who is left in the pool
(13:22:09) Codgers: I can forget that the whole pool is lousy
(13:22:47) Commish: SS MR Elliott Logan
(13:22:59) Commish: On to Round 7!
(13:23:04) Commish: Bob...
(13:23:14) Codgers: Huzzah!
(13:23:22) Alleghenies: hmmm. SS drafts a guy nicknamed Loudmouth...
(13:23:22) Bulldozers: Opening Lucky Round 7: Yuma selects ... SP Rafael Delgado.
(13:24:16) Commish: LON SS Jerry Jones
(13:24:44) Commish: AMS MR Ignacio Rocha
(13:25:42) Commish: REN CF Joep Wolthaus
(13:26:28) Commish: SCO SP Tye Grinter
(13:26:36) Commish: Reg is up.
(13:27:05) Codgers: Tye Grinter is quite a name
(13:27:49) Trendsetters: i'm digging, hold on
(13:29:18) Admin: Bears logs into the Chat.
(13:29:28) Bears: Bears here... I will try to keep up
(13:29:31) Commish: Hey, Bobby.

(13:32:33) Commish: NEO MR Denny Small
(13:33:03) Codgers: Denny drafted....not by Denny
(13:33:57) Bears: am i on autopick? just want to make sure when my pick comes up I can make it :)
(13:34:18) Commish: FAR MR Chris Hilton
(13:34:30) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects P Naofumi Yamaguchi, the 6'8" southpaw out of Chiben HS
(13:35:14) Commish: All picks are manual, even the autopicks don't happen until I press the button. If you're here, and I notice you're here, I'll wait for you.
(13:35:32) Bears: Awesome thanks, just trying to catch up :)
(13:35:37) Wind_Dancers: Unless you are the GM of Canton
(13:35:39) Wind_Dancers: :P
(13:35:56) Bears: is it Rd 1 only that you get comp pick if you don't sign them, or do we extend it further?
(13:36:28) Codgers: I think it's the first three rounds if I remember right
(13:38:00) Trendsetters: yeah, I believe it's first 3 rounds
(13:38:22) Commish: James is up.
(13:38:52) Borealis: Yeah... We'd been carrying Madore on our list for a number of rounds... He was near the top of what's left...
(13:39:02) Codgers: I should have time to take a nap before my pick then... :D
(13:42:18) Alleghenies: I have 11 guys left on my list. I hope it gets me through the next 3 rounds
(13:42:35) Alleghenies: after that, I'll let stats lab go

(13:48:57) Bears: Bears select USC, RF Norm Kates.
(13:51:03) Commish: Have you made the pick in StasLab?
(13:51:38) Bears: no, should I?
(13:51:51) Borealis: yes
(13:51:54) Bears: (just pushed the button)
(13:53:26) Alleghenies: the next 8 picks should go fast :-)
(13:54:22) Commish: Greg, will you be able to post the transcript? I accidentally refreshed my chat screen.
(13:54:32) Alleghenies: yes
(13:55:01) Commish: ARL MR Ron Phillips
(13:55:59) Commish: KY 2B Guo-qing Ching
(13:56:23) Commish: HAR SS Greg Walker
(13:56:37) Borealis: Predicting Reno takes my list topper...
(13:57:09) Commish: KY SS Greg Walker
(13:57:27) Commish: KY C Kouhei Tani
(13:57:53) Alleghenies: Greg Walker isn't to KY
(13:57:55) Commish: FL C Dave Smoot
(13:57:58) Alleghenies: he went to Hartford
(13:58:05) Commish: that's right, typo
(13:58:22) Alleghenies: KY keeps taking my guys
(13:58:58) Commish: DUL MR Pedro O'Connor
(13:59:37) Commish: KY MR Scot Hickey
(14:00:15) Commish: SS 1B Lawrence Allen
(14:00:28) Commish: And Greg is up.
(14:01:46) Alleghenies: one sec
(14:02:36) Bears: man, some weird stuff in this draft
(14:02:53) Borealis: yup...
(14:02:56) Codgers: Indeed
(14:03:10) Bears: I think he was my best autopick but 3B Alfonso Reyna out of Tulane previously played minor league baseball then went to college....
(14:03:26) Alleghenies: WV picks P Ralph Moore
(14:03:27) Bears: Former Crystal Lake third round pick...
(14:03:36) Borealis: There's a number of those guys...
(14:03:53) Bears: Yeah, the USC OF I just snagged was not in the OOTP Pool.
(14:04:03) Borealis: Ed Madore, earlier this round, had that circuitous route...
(14:04:06) Bears: Real odd, this is probably all old news, I'm just catching up now
(14:04:15) Bears: Looks like Massacre's arm blew up too :(
(14:04:22) Commish: On to Round 8!
I'll continue to prompt present GMs when their pick is up, but stop recapping auto and list picks.
Bob is up.
(14:04:33) Bulldozers: An utterly exhausted Yuman Being announces his last live pick for the day. Opening Round 8 with ... the "Double double toil and trouble" kid himself, direct from Burnam Wood, Scotand, SP Bill Macbeth!
(14:05:21) Bears: also, the autopick guys are almost all garbage.... what a wasted draft for the Bears... so many picks and zero talent
(14:05:52) Codgers: Alas, poor pitcher, I knew him well
(14:06:09) Bulldozers: Wrong play, right spirit.
(14:06:16) Codgers: heh
(14:06:23) Borealis: Nice... Just tell him he must first put down the sardines, then he throws the ball...
(14:06:47) Bulldozers: Sardines?
(14:07:05) Alleghenies: They don't have sardines in Yuma
(14:07:15) Bulldozers: Nor in Scotland.
(14:07:17) Borealis: Oh, Bob... you, the theater guy should get that...
(14:07:30) Bulldozers: Nope. No sardines in my theatre.
(14:07:40) Borealis: Good Job Reno!! Phew...

(14:10:43) Commish: James is up.
(14:10:56) Longshoremen: 2B ARthur Foreman.
(14:11:06) Longshoremen: And with that, I'm on to autodraft.
(14:11:12) Longshoremen: Later guys.
(14:11:51) Bulldozers: That's where Yuma is heading too. Good luck, boys. See you on the diamond.

(14:12:21) Admin: Bulldozers logs out of the Chat.
(14:12:35) Commish: Coqui are up.
(14:12:44) Bears: literally just put charlie on my list.
(14:12:52) Coqui: Going to overrule myself and throw one to my scout here
(14:13:00) Coqui: 1B (so he claims) Martin Arrington
(14:13:13) Admin: Longshoremen has been logged out (Timeout).
(14:13:31) Codgers: Charlie was another under-the-radar guy not in OOTP
(14:14:30) Coqui: Based on scout stars, Arrington was top 10 overall but no reason for it
(14:14:42) Commish: Bobby is up.
(14:15:55) Codgers: Apparently there is a lot more variance from scout to scout than there used to be
(14:16:07) Bears: Bears select out of WVU, catcher Nathan Bowling.
(14:16:27) Codgers: Oooo, on my list!
(14:16:46) Commish: And back to Bobby.
(14:17:10) Bears: one sec... picking between 2
(14:17:10) Coqui: I will be back but autopick on while I step away

(14:23:21) Borealis: Aurora selects in the 8th round, from Aoyama Gakuin, INF Neville de Deugd...
(14:24:01) Commish: Greg is up.
(14:24:20) Bears: I dont even have that guy in OOTP unless you spelled it wrong :)
(14:24:27) Borealis: A diamond in the trash heap I discovered 40 picks ago and have sweated it out the whole way - Joe Horn sees him as 1-2 round talent...
(14:25:08) Alleghenies: WV picks SS António Morán
(14:25:10) Borealis: He is on the StatsLab list - you must just be looking at the hacked list...
(14:25:12) Bears: oh nm, I found him, I thought the name was Aoyama Gakuin lol
(14:25:42) Bears: you won't believe my scouts assessment of him....
(14:25:58) Bears: "Most likely to disassemble the Aurora dynasty from within!"
(14:26:38) Codgers: :O
(14:26:49) Wind_Dancers: Hm, just realised my A and SS-A team logos are missing from my file.
(14:26:55) Alleghenies: 8 people left on my draft list
(14:26:55) Commish: On to Round 9!
(14:27:00) Borealis: My Scout says, "What are the Bears scouts smoking this draft?"
(14:27:28) Alleghenies: My scout says thanks for passing on Morán
(14:30:11) Codgers: My scout wonders what all your scouts are smoking
(14:30:32) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects 3B Gabriel Lavoie
(14:30:39) Codgers: No doubt the feeling is mutual
(14:30:57) Codgers: :o)
(14:32:43) Commish: Denny is up.
(14:33:03) Coqui: I am back and will make my pick
(14:33:05) Codgers: Heh....even when James is absent his picks take a long time O:-D
(14:33:51) Codgers: Palm Springs selects "C" Javier Díaz
(14:33:59) Bears: The Bears scouts agree with you Mike.
(14:34:20) Coqui: P Manny Salazar
(14:34:23) Bears: The autopicks arent even guys on my scouts radar.... got quite a few 0.5 star prospects in Rounds 1-3
(14:35:34) Codgers: Yes, StatsLab's auto selections are a weird and fantastic mystery
(14:35:36) Bears: We loaded up on picks via trade and most will be a) never signed, or b) released.
(14:35:58) Bears: in the arc of our franchise, this is a big downward inflection point for the farm.
(14:36:35) Commish: Bobby is up.
(14:37:23) Bears: a Japanese High Schooler, the Bears take C Angel Solis.
(14:37:47) Coqui: Since Bears returned been taking my top guys
(14:38:18) Bears: sorry!
(14:38:28) Bears: at least we can mulligan our 5 picks in Rds 1-3
(14:39:15) Admin: Coqui has been logged out (Timeout).
(14:39:18) Wind_Dancers: Having looked through the entirety of HS and College talent over the past few days, I will say there is some crazy talent coming up in the next few seasons
(14:39:18) Admin: Coqui logs into the Chat.
(14:40:21) Coqui: I autodrafted early too then saw who was picked and rushed to get a list together.
(14:40:31) Coqui: I was confused by the top of this draft.
(14:41:20) Commish: Back to the Borealis.
(14:42:16) Borealis: Between the disparity in the number of names in StatsLab and OOTP, and the whacked StatsLab ratings, it made for an interesting draft...
(14:42:44) Codgers: Yes I think this will be the most all-over-the-map draft in PEBA history
(14:42:44) Borealis: I wonder if there is some way Frank can tweak it a bit to be slightly more realistic...
(14:43:19) Codgers: I just want the OOTP and Statslab lists to be more closely aligned
(14:43:34) Borealis: From Osaka Town, Aurora selects in the 9th round CL Jose Suarez...
(14:43:59) Admin: Leones logs into the Chat.
(14:44:02) Bears: We have set a list, it's been partially fun, still a little bummed I couldn't get a list together for the whole thing but I'll try harder next year to figure out the PEBA draft.
(14:44:19) Bears: See you guys, have a good weekend, and happy early thanksgiving to all.
(14:44:31) Borealis: Be Good Bobby!!
(14:45:03) Admin: Leones logs out of the Chat.
(14:45:04) Alleghenies: Well since it is round 9, I will take my next pick because of stars and only because of stars..."
(14:45:22) Alleghenies: WV picks SS Takamasa Sakamoto
(14:45:40) Commish: On to Round 10!
(14:46:17) Alleghenies: I don't see how, but my scout sees he can be a 3.5 star guy
(14:46:18) Codgers: Bye Bobby
(14:47:02) Admin: Bears has been logged out (Timeout).
(14:47:22) Borealis: He's a great defensive SS and super fast...
(14:47:53) Borealis: But offensively... Joe Horn is unkind...
(14:48:30) Codgers: Welp, I have seven guys left on my list and don't much care about any of them...
(14:48:57) Codgers: So I am going to autodraft from here and cast my fate to the whims of StatsLab :idea:
(14:49:13) Commish: Dylan is up.
(14:49:14) Codgers: Farewell to all!
(14:49:15) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects P Anthony Compton
(14:49:55) Alleghenies: STraight out of my list

(14:55:21) Wind_Dancers: Hey Morris, do you update the full zip file on the website after every sim?
(14:56:55) Commish: Aurora is up.
(14:57:44) Commish: The html and StatsLab updates should be done every sim. Slipped the past couple of weeks due to time constraints.
(14:58:11) Borealis: In the 10th round, Aurora selects from the University of Tokyo, CL Kade Hamilton...
(14:58:47) Commish: Greg is up.
(14:59:05) Wind_Dancers: I had to redownload the file last week and now I'm seeing my A and SS-A team logos are missing. Just redownloaded from the website and they are not in that file either, rather replaced with default letter logos.
(14:59:19) Wind_Dancers: Oddly enough it's only those 2 teams. I can see everyone else's logos
(14:59:49) Alleghenies: WV picks P Dave Owens (the guy I passed up for my last pick)
(15:00:12) Commish: On to Round 11!
(15:00:18) Wind_Dancers: We for sure have the same list Greg
(15:01:09) Alleghenies: I hope you don't take the last guy I want, after that I am looking for a guy with a good name for the last pick in round 15

(15:20:36) Borealis: Out of the University of Central Florida, the Aurora Borealis select John 'Gator' Foster...
(15:21:16) Coqui: My draft list should be fine from here. Not going to vary from it.
(15:21:20) Commish: And Bobby.
(15:21:55) Borealis: 'Gator' must be related to our very first PEBA selection 'Gypsy' some how...
(15:21:55) Commish: Okay, we'll use San Juan
(15:22:03) Commish: San Juan's list.
(15:22:12) Wind_Dancers: MY 'fun' player is coming up next'

(15:43:47) Alleghenies: WV drafts LF Max Barklie
(15:43:52) Borealis: Borealis went pitching heavy this draft, with 9 of 14 picks from the mound... 10 if #15 goes as planed...
