Deuces Wild

When it rains it poors - 3 blog postings in 30 minutes... now I can take another week off from updating this bloody thing!

Tonight was the draft for our 'dueces wild' baseball league. The name eludes to a league with 15 participants, each of whom has 2 major league baseball teams. For the most part this is a very obvious game of: what team has the most wins. There are a couple small twists but for the most part: that's it.

I can't quite believe that I got the RedSox at #9. I actually had them #1 on my list - now, I would be the first to admit that had I had the first pick: I might have put a little more thought into who really should be #1, but it definitely shows you that I was NOT expecting them to be still on the board at #9! The rankings I saw beforehand had them at: CBS (5), FOX (1), ESPN (6), USA-TODAY (5).

I was also actually very happy to get the Tigers with my second pick. I had them at #20 on my board and got them at the #22 pick.

The worst picks in my mind were the Mets (3), Cubs (13), and Giants (15). The Mets clearly taking the cake as the consensus "what the heck was that?" pick of the draft.

Best picks, I have to like Bos (9) as the biggest steal. Twins (19) is also a pretty good one, I think.

Color coded picks: Jim, Hobber, Geer
