Very funny article.I always take heat in my drafts for my late picks.My biggest laugh was yesterday when Delgado was taken number two overall and the next guy passed up on Guerrero,leaving Vlad the Impaler to me with the 4th pick.I fell out of my chair in rounds three and four when the tenth guy out of a ten team draft, who had setup his own pre-rankings took Finley and Griffey Jr. |

Great stuff Jake. Nicely encapsulates the emotions of draft day!

B: If I have the swing-around pick, try to evaluate whether or not the guy in front of me will take Oliver Perez. |

Great read, just wondering how Westbrook lasted until the 16th round. |

He lasted pretty late in most of the drafts I was in.Reason is plenty of guys like some on here saying what a fluke last year was etc....
Westbrook and Marquis as well,will still get the same type of run support as last year.Westbrook's first start not withstanding. |
