(EVERYTHING IS UPDATED THROUGH OMDQ'S EIGHTH-ROUND PICK. SERIOUSLY, CHECK YOUR ROSTERS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR PAYROLLS, BECAUSE I'D BET ANYTHING AT LEAST ONE OF THEM IS WRONG.)
OK. This draft is going to unofficially start after I publish this, but it will officially start Feb. 18. Which means, if it's your turn to pick and it's before Feb. 18, knock your balls off. However, if you pick fifth and the guy in front of you is taking his sweet time pre-Feb. 18, let's not start e-mailing this guy at work to bust his chops about making a pick in a retarded fantasy league with no prizes.
Also, when you make your pick in the comments, aim for this format: The overall pick number, the player's name, his position, his team, and his salary as listed here. I only ask this since there are some names of players who are more obscure than a Dennis Miller reference.
Also also, if you want to bust balls about a pick, send it to the guy in an e-mail. Don't clutter up the comments with "LOL" and "nice pick." People are going to have to sift through that to see who has been taken before making their next pick, and sorting through 50 names is hard enough without having to add to it some argument about why a person took Melky Cabrera with their pick.
OK. There you go. Below are rosters. I'll try to fill them and update as we go, but go through the comments to see the latest picks. And remember -- ONCE YOU SUBMIT YOUR PICK IN THE COMMENTS, BALLGAME OVER, WORLD SERIES OVER. No takebacks. There's no excuse. There is no need to feel rushed for a draft that is starting two months before the baseball season.
May the Schwartz be with you!
