(12:02:35) Admin: Commish logs into the Chat.
(12:03:01) Bulldozers: And there he is! The man of the hour ON the hour.
(12:03:18) Commish: Alright. Day 2. I won't be announcing individual picks, though your'e welcome to announce yours. Draft is enabled. Yuma on the clock.
(12:03:36) Borealis: Hey Denny!!
(12:03:57) Bulldozers: Yuma starts the day off with a selection of CF Yuuta Asai.
(12:04:11) Codgers: Yuuta man
(12:04:22) Bulldozers:
(12:04:35) Bulldozers: Yuuta in Yuuma!
(12:04:54) Commish: Thoroughbreds are up.
(12:05:20) Commish: Autodraft is on for rounds 4-15, so here go the middle relievers...
(12:05:25) Bulldozers: Biting at the bit, them horses.
(12:05:42) Thoroughbreds: picked C Jason Agnew
(12:05:51) Wind_Dancers: Looks like I am missing a 6th round pick when I should have 3.
(12:06:08) Wind_Dancers: I think Akira was accidentally given my 7th AND 6th instead of just my 7th
(12:07:42) Commish: Coqui are up.
(12:08:05) Coqui: OF Alberto Moran taken
(12:08:27) Commish: That's something we can fix on the fly Dylan. Let me review the trade history.
(12:08:58) Commish: And on to Toyama.
(12:09:38) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects 3B Bruce Gill
(12:10:13) Wind_Dancers: I traded NT my 7th rounder but they were given my 6th as well which is the 10th pick in the round.
(12:10:34) Commish: New Orleans is up. Going off list, Reg?
(12:10:51) Borealis: Yes, Toyama should have 3-6th rounders - theirs, Duluth's and WV;s...
(12:11:39) Commish: Got it. Round 6, pick 10 reverts to Toyama.
(12:11:50) Wind_Dancers: Thanks Morris!
(12:12:01) Trendsetters: yeah, for this round anyway. go for it Morris
(12:12:09) Trendsetters: just catching up to things
(12:12:53) Commish: Leones?
(12:14:33) Codgers: Did I hear correctly that autodraft is on for rounds 4 onward?
(12:14:41) Leones: Havana selects 2B Tim Hebert
(12:15:18) Commish: I'm autodrafting for the open teams and teams with no draft lists.
(12:15:41) Codgers: oh, ok, that makes sense
(12:16:59) Commish: Coqui are up.
(12:17:31) Coqui: OF Leland Powell
(12:17:55) Commish: Codgers are up.
(12:18:48) Codgers: PS selects CL Ángel Gallegos

(12:21:09) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects C Shuzo Koga
(12:22:21) Commish: Kentucky is up.
(12:23:07) Coqui: Powell is a bit of mystery. He is 21 but says he was drafted by Arlington in 2016 and starred in the San Juan Winter League in 2017.
(12:23:46) Coqui: He also went to college at both Louisville 2012-16 and Stanford now.
(12:25:29) Commish: Several players have suspect histories. It looks like players cycled out of the game and when they were regenerated, the old histories stuck to them.
(12:26:25) Commish: Round 4 is done. Back to Yuma.
(12:26:30) Bulldozers: Yuma launches Round 5 with SP Phillip Petri. Rumor has it he's a real dish.
(12:26:48) Commish: Any relation to Rob?
(12:26:59) Bulldozers: Ask Laura.
(12:27:39) Commish: On to Kentucky.
(12:27:44) Bulldozers: We'll know for sure when he stumbles over a footstool on the way to the mound.
(12:27:55) Commish: But sometimes he won't.
(12:28:22) Bulldozers: Ah yes, Rob learned to dance around it after a couple years.
(12:28:59) Coqui: So he is related to someone who played in the San Juan Winter League...we'll call him a batboy..his team won the title.
(12:29:15) Borealis: Ah... Pierre Poirier... good ole Alex's young second cousin... he interned at the gallery one summer...
(12:29:32) Leones: one day batboy, you will grow to be a batman ...
(12:30:46) Commish: Coqui are up.

(12:32:56) Bulldozers: Imagine sewing that name on the back of his uniform!
(12:33:10) Trendsetters: yup
(12:33:17) Codgers: Stinson was on my list
(12:33:32) Codgers: Wants a lotta $, though
(12:33:49) Bulldozers: Denny, I do believe you assemble that list of yours AFTER each pick!
(12:33:52) Commish: I want to see 'van dem Homburgh' on the back of a jersey.
(12:34:12) Trendsetters: New Orleans select CL Carl Finch
(12:34:19) Codgers: it's true! Whomever gets chosen was on my list
(12:34:23) Trendsetters: son of Sid
(12:34:30) Commish: Leones...
(12:34:34) Trendsetters: maybe grandson
(12:34:35) Bulldozers: I new it!
(12:34:53) Commish: 'Little Bird'?
(12:34:55) Codgers: I hope the Trendsetters did their research to make sure he's real...
(12:35:19) Leones: stats lab won't let me make a pick
(12:35:23) Borealis: Ah... Uncle Chuck Harris staying home in Canton...
(12:35:42) Trendsetters: we were assured by sports reporters that he was...
(12:35:54) Commish: No, I'm thinking of Fidrych... Finch was the made up one.
(12:36:10) Thoroughbreds: you are set to LIST pick
(12:36:16) Leones: i should be on auto pick anyway. if you could automate my picks (from list) that'd be fine
(12:36:22) Bulldozers: Fidrych was Big Bird.

(12:40:29) Codgers: Unofficially called "Lumbering" Kent Lumby around the office
(12:40:29) Borealis: But Codgers are half the fun here!!!
(12:40:58) Sandgnats: You guys are cracking me up
(12:41:38) Bulldozers: All crackups should report to Camarillo State Hospital.
(12:41:58) Commish: Back over to Palm Springs.
(12:42:20) Commish: Not a chance. That place gives me the creeps.
(12:42:54) Bulldozers: Careful, you're dissing my residence for the past 13 years.

(12:03:36) Borealis: Hey Denny!!
(12:03:57) Bulldozers: Yuma starts the day off with a selection of CF Yuuta Asai.
(12:04:11) Codgers: Yuuta man
(12:04:22) Bulldozers:
(12:04:35) Bulldozers: Yuuta in Yuuma!
(12:04:54) Commish: Thoroughbreds are up.
(12:05:20) Commish: Autodraft is on for rounds 4-15, so here go the middle relievers...
(12:05:25) Bulldozers: Biting at the bit, them horses.
(12:05:42) Thoroughbreds: picked C Jason Agnew
(12:05:51) Wind_Dancers: Looks like I am missing a 6th round pick when I should have 3.
(12:06:08) Wind_Dancers: I think Akira was accidentally given my 7th AND 6th instead of just my 7th
(12:07:42) Commish: Coqui are up.
(12:08:05) Coqui: OF Alberto Moran taken
(12:08:27) Commish: That's something we can fix on the fly Dylan. Let me review the trade history.

(12:23:46) Coqui: He also went to college at both Louisville 2012-16 and Stanford now.
(12:25:29) Commish: Several players have suspect histories. It looks like players cycled out of the game and when they were regenerated, the old histories stuck to them.
(12:26:25) Commish: Round 4 is done. Back to Yuma.
(12:26:30) Bulldozers: Yuma launches Round 5 with SP Phillip Petri. Rumor has it he's a real dish.

(12:26:59) Bulldozers: Ask Laura.
(12:27:39) Commish: On to Kentucky.
(12:27:44) Bulldozers: We'll know for sure when he stumbles over a footstool on the way to the mound.
(12:27:55) Commish: But sometimes he won't.
(12:28:22) Bulldozers: Ah yes, Rob learned to dance around it after a couple years.
(12:28:59) Coqui: So he is related to someone who played in the San Juan Winter League...we'll call him a batboy..his team won the title.
(12:29:15) Borealis: Ah... Pierre Poirier... good ole Alex's young second cousin... he interned at the gallery one summer...

(12:34:35) Bulldozers: I new it!
(12:34:53) Commish: 'Little Bird'?
(12:34:55) Codgers: I hope the Trendsetters did their research to make sure he's real...
(12:35:19) Leones: stats lab won't let me make a pick
(12:35:23) Borealis: Ah... Uncle Chuck Harris staying home in Canton...
(12:35:42) Trendsetters: we were assured by sports reporters that he was...
(12:35:54) Commish: No, I'm thinking of Fidrych... Finch was the made up one.
(12:36:10) Thoroughbreds: you are set to LIST pick
(12:36:16) Leones: i should be on auto pick anyway. if you could automate my picks (from list) that'd be fine
(12:36:22) Bulldozers: Fidrych was Big Bird.

(12:39:56) Codgers: It's true!
(12:40:10) Codgers: Palm Springs selects C Kent Lumby
(12:40:29) Codgers: Unofficially called "Lumbering" Kent Lumby around the office
(12:40:29) Borealis: But Codgers are half the fun here!!!
(12:40:58) Sandgnats: You guys are cracking me up
(12:41:38) Bulldozers: All crackups should report to Camarillo State Hospital.
(12:41:58) Commish: Back over to Palm Springs.
(12:42:20) Commish: Not a chance. That place gives me the creeps.
(12:42:54) Bulldozers: Careful, you're dissing my residence for the past 13 years.
(12:43:06) Codgers: Again? How does this keep happening!?
