[Deleted]

I had Brett Jackson not the Rangers

[Deleted]

yuo and mike minor is on the yanks and max kepler on the brewers

[Nationals GM (corkzilla)]

Fixed, I'm sure there will be more. I went with the rundown that was there as the first post in each round's thread. There was so much pick trading and I didn't have time to go through each individual thread. If you have one you know of let me know.

[KC Royals GM (Kevin)]

lol u gave me a C? do you not know the players are?

[KC Royals GM (Kevin)]

and u forgot josh judy for me

[The Ghost of Swo]

i was all prepared to rant and rave about how Kevin hates me because he gave me a C, now I am disappointed....but i am pretty disappointed with my ranking...Ill have to do better scouting next year i guess.

[The Ghost of Swo]

not to complain Cork, but did u give weight to when the picks were made, because personally I dont think the Giants had a great draft, I mean they got a really good player, but getting a really good player with the 2nd overall pick should be pretty easy...

That said I don't want to disparage your work, I know these power rankings are tough and they are way harder doing the draft than the teams in the regular season...so I appreciate the work...thanks

[The Ghost of Swo]

and for the third time today, u better watch it with ur ranking with the Astros, he is your most popular trading partner...u could have harmed that valauble relationship

[Nationals GM (corkzilla)]

Haha, anyone can say whatever they want I don't really care. I was bored at work and threw this together. I didn't take any weight to when people were taken, that would have taken too long and unfortunately I have a job where I can't just sit on the internet all day

Kevin's draft picks playing the "Do you know who I am?!" card. Nice.

[trevgriffeyjr3]

I got my 3 picks from ESPN's new wave of potential 100 prospects in baseball...not to bad if you ask me

[The Ghost of Swo]

well if ur gonna be nice and nonchalant about it...go screw urself

[Nationals GM (corkzilla)]

Sorry Kevin. None of those guys excites me at all. So sensitive, geesh. Make your own again.

[Cubs GM (Scott B)]

Wish I didn't always trade my picks. At least I sign good minor leaguers during the ow times of the season

[The Ghost of Swo]

can someone tell me i did a good job...i need some affirmation

[Cubs GM (Scott B)]

Jesus loves u swo, u suck at fantasy baseball tho

[bwolters]

Another C, whats a guy got to do to get at least a B up in here.


Amazing, I think I did pretty good with only 4 picks nowhere near the top 50 picks.


Runzler - Giants #5 (#2 Pitcher)
Alvarez - Blue Jays #5 (#3 Pitcher)
Tosoni - Never gonna be a stud but everybody needs solid bench guys, BB's up and SO's down
Amarista - 2009 Topps Class A All Star age 20 and incredible plate discipline, in the 5th I mean wtf


I appreciate the time that was put in to grading, im just gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

pretty tough words coming from a guy who finished 11th in the most recent avatar rankings....ya i went there

[Deleted]

Wow, A+ and that's without Slade Heathcott, another 1st rounder from the MLB 2009 class.

I will be honest and admit that my grade is easy to get when I had 4 of the first 11 picks. I think Storen at 8 was a great steal for me, I almost grabbed him at 3. I was lucky enough to have an already deep minors system, so I traded up as often as I could along with eating some salary to boot.

Great job on the grading and as always, a great draft for everyone all around.

[Deleted]

We agree with our A, because we rocked that shit

[Deleted]

one time i joined a pop culture/celebrity fantasy league just so i could participate in another draft. also, so i could tell all the bitches in who do that shit that i am way fucking better at this than they'll ever be.

also, thanks for the rankings. as a guy who has a ranking to do himself (hint, hint!), i always enjoy reading anything league related. and it's always good to grab a solid b+. room to grow.

ps, you know i won that celebrity fantasy league. won the shit out of it.

[The Ghost of Swo]

Don't you tease Kyle...i swear to god don't toy with my emotions

[bwolters]

Avatar rankings were the demise of professionalism

[The Ghost of Swo]

ur the demise of professionalism....boooyah

[bwolters]

Drumroll
