We all know who the Tigers first pick will be. Since I'm on a big time difference, and the draft will start late at night over here, I'll post my pick now so you all can draft all day next Saturday and not have to wait til I wake up.

Now that I officially have an open roster spot, the Expos welcome......

Tribe takes Trey McNutt - P - Chi (N)

[Former Brown Sox GM (Bigman)]

Sorry for the delay. Brown Sox select P Matt Harvey Mets

[BK Dodgers GM (Man)]

Had a bit of a hard time deciding, but guess I'll go w/ Trout's teammate on this one:

Pick #1.9 - Jean Segura, MI, LAA

[Former Royals GM (Shawn)]

After much consideration and flip flopping...

Pick #1.10 - Miguel Sano, 3B, MIN


Invalid Pick: Already owned by Indians.

[Former Royals GM (Shawn)]

Ugh. Yankees pointed out that Sano is rostered on CBS but isn't listed in the Indian's roster here. Apparently he was selected with pick 3.9 last year by the former Indian's GM.

Indians need to update their roster here to reflect that they own Sano. There is also the matter of salary. I assume it's 300k?

My modified Pick #1.10 - Jose Iglesias, SS, BOS

[Reds GM (Graham)]

Jose was one of my two options here, which makes things easier! Was taking this guy regardless.
Mets select:-

Pick #1.11 - Jerry Sands, 1B/OF - LAD


Invalid Pick: Already owned by Brown Sox.

Hes already rostered. Hes on my team Roster. Its my fault for not letting Shawn know about him but I did put him on my Roster when I had to update...

[Astros GM (Kris)]

Sands was already signed by Brown Sox last year.

Please make sure your players are rostered on CBS as that is a requirement now going forward. Players unrostered on CBS can be subjected to the Special Waiver Pool and be drafted and/or posted for auction by other teams.

Since we have not reached the deadline for this yet, you may go ahead and do that now. But starting 3/8, if you still have players unrostered on CBS, they may be subjected to the SWP (after 2-week grace period).

This was voted upon. And everyone has been told more than once about this already.

Thanks for your cooperation...

[Reds GM (Graham)]

Come on. Sands didn't show up on a search on here (twice), and he's listed as a FA on CBS - or rather, he was, until I added him after I made my pick. How long does it take, seriously, to get your roster in order? All rosters should have been finalised prior to the draft, and anyone not on rosters here and CBS should have been a FA. It's ridiculous.

Pick 1.11 - Yasmani Grandal, C - Cin

Weird. Sands still doesn't show up on the Brown Sox's roster page via search on this site even though he's been on there since at least ~4 weeks ago (based on the last modified date/timestamp). Only thing I can think of is maybe the site search is broken for changes made to posts -- and maybe only works correctly for the original postings (and may not find stuff added later).

I just tried searching for a couple players I recently added to my own roster page, and they don't show up either -- although you can find the relevant transaction posts and do the detective work to find who owns them now, which does make it more of a pain.

I guess that's all the more reason why it's good to require players to be rostered on CBS now...

[Brewers GM (Jordan)]

I've found the league spreadsheet is the best place to search. This message board search is unreliable at best. Just do a nice Ctl-f or apple-f and make sure "entire workbook" is ticked. Very simple.

[Former Cardinals GM (Stein)]

Since the Cubs missed their time ...

Nats sign Zack Cox, 3b, St. Louis with pick 1.13
