Probably zero. Go extra round, go!

Also I will help the new people out a bit.
This is a totally generic rear end "I want to find a good player" search. Barry Bonds is really good. You can refine further but this is where I always start.



And now the same for pitching:



You will obviously want to put in a minimum IP/162 value to find starting pitching. Hopefully this gives you new a people a little head start.

A question has been posed that probably needs addressing since it directly affects the draft, whether it's allowed to trade picks after the draft ends. I'm pretty strongly against this but I'm willing to listen if people are in favor. I like how the draft encourages you to take shots at multiple players and forces you to adjust depending on what you do/don't get, and I think trading takes away from that.

I don't think trading really adds to this format at all. It's already a no cap league; come with what you get.

I'll join if you need someone. It's been awhile. Or I'll catch you in the next one if you end up having one too many instead of one too few.

We do but WiS supports 26 team leagues, I'm pretty sure. Just can't have an odd number. I really don't want to kick someone out thanks to my mistake.

Only missing two sets of picks right now and I've heard from both owners, so this round should wrap up tonight.

I'm also making an executive decision regarding seventh picks: if a seventh pick conflicts with someone else's original pick, and would be the second pick that blocks that player, whoever picked that player in his set of six will still get the player; that is, seventh picks can't ban a player on their own.

I'm guessing NutShellBill hates me now since we were both the only ones to block each other on Ben Sheets AND Tony Gwynn

Did I just get Bonds and Trout? Because that's kind of the best.

You can pick them as you would a player, I forgot to mention that but I don't recommend picking a ballpark first round anyway, unlike these crazies. You can choose from these ones

I cant believe no one did a defense block pick for Mike Trout. Wow. Huge steal.

Looking over how many people I mulled over that I thought people might ignore this round. I could have had a real bloodbath. Was considering A-rod,belle,pujols,lofton,mcgwire,bautista. The strategy for this is going to be interesting.
