I'm going to be checking MLB.TV this afternoon, if any of you have seen it let me know what you thought.

Good gamble at this point. Saw this kid pitch in high school and he was absolutely phenomenal. Too bad about the injuries and the head problems.

Still time for him to fulfill his promise.

24/25th round picks. Chances are most of these guys
will end up on the waiver wire anyway as trade-ins for
unexpected hot young arms and bats.

      Mon, Mar 17, 2003, 17:55 		I think one of his picks should be a catcher, since he has only 1. Then maybe an outfielder.
What do you guys think?

Lieberthal is expected to return to the lineup Monday after a pelvic injury has kept him out of action since February 27, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The plan is to have him catch three innings.

Good pick. I thought about him but just yesterday read something about another tiny injury. Lieberthal has been absolutely jinxed since that one wonderful year he had.

That is the Senior Enlisted Rank.
The Chief's Mess on Navy Ships is called the GoatLocker.
Hence my handle.
I have been retired for 4-1/2 years and work for one of the Defense Contractors as a Branch Manager / Senior Engineer.
I'm on site at the base providing support as the Training Manager for the Tomahawk Program.
The Base is the In-Service Engineering Agent for Tomahawk. Which means that they provide all Technical and Logistics support.
And yes, it is getting crazier each and every day.
New reporting requirements coming down from on high every day.
I'm glad we got done when we did.
I still have one other draft ongoing, but that will be it.
Need to start working on my TSN teams.

Just kidding, this has been a ton of fun, and has
helped me to get my baseball IQ back on track. Still
gotta finish picking my Ultimate team and researching
for this league has helped me figure out how to field
that team, I think.

I doubt that I ended up with a "great" team in this
league, but I do believe I have a very well-balanced
one that should serve me well this season. knock on
wood. Anyway, good luck, guys. And thanks SITS for
making this happen so smoothly and efficiently.
