If you didn’t know, the LABR NL draft is going on right this minute and if you clink .this link you can follow along, sort of.
Alex Patton and I are partners, but because of the memorial for my grandmother I wasn’t able to make it to the draft. Alex appears to be putting together the oldest team in the world right now. The good part of that is that we have Randy Johnson and Barry Bonds. The bad news is that we have Eric Karros and Vinny Castilla.
Alex did get me Preston Wilson, for $28, which is more than you want to pay for him, but not a bad deal at all.
At 9PM EST there will be a running commentary, which may make it a little more exciting to follow along. I have a party to go to, so I’ll probably check back in to discover that we also have Jesse Orsoco, Mike Morgan, Mark Grace and Jay Bell. Heck, maybe we’ll get Matt Williams, too. If it worked for the D’backs it can work for rototouts.com. Can’t it?
If you want to check out who got who for what in the AL go to the AL Roster page. Pedro went for $34. So did Ichiro. I’d love to have them both for $35, but then that’s LADR (League of Alterntative Drafting Reality).
