    obviously there's a little risk involved in that pick, due to his health history, but jesus. that is some fanTASTIC value for a 16th round pick. i think that's like 100 picks later than his ADP

    I couldn't believe he hadn't been taken. I swear I've checked on it a few times, but I guess not.

    I dunno about that. On Mock Draft Central he's 191 so that's around 40 picks later. Still a good pick but rather risky, especially considering he probably isn't going to hit above .250 even if healthy.

    Well actually he ADP is 209 but he's rated 191. Not sure where he's been going on ESPN mocks or other places.

    looking through my various mocks, he's gone 121, 131, 120, for $7, 123, 130. however i think he's ranked like ~115 in the espn rankings, so it's possible those are all just autodrafts

    Also, who uses ESPN rankings? I like some of their stuff but their ranking system blows.

    I'm not exactly patting myself on the back for the Quentin pick. I had him last year, and he was ehhh. Hoping for a BABIP rebound, though!

    If everything breaks right (this is unlikely), I have 20 HR power at every position. Or 8 positions and Joe Mauer. *shakes fist at Target Field*

    i dunno. i just use ESPN mock drafts, since they're easy, that of course use the ESPN rankings when someone quits the draft, which is often, since it's goddamn ESPN. that being said, i'm not knocking your quentin pick - i actually like it a lot

    edit: i also wouldn't bet against 20 homers from each of your positions - the only question mark is raburn, and i still think he gets it

    and mauer i guess - no shot from mauer. but a .330 average from your catcher is probably okay

    If you're using Firefox and have the option to start up Quick Find as soon as you start typing, you can use that in the spreadsheet if you click on the very bottom of your browser, where it has the finding website text and "Done" and such. Well, it should work...

    The Google Docs document is actually peculiar in that a browser ctrl+f doesn't search through the cells. If you click in a cell and bring up the find and replace function with ctrl+f, that works.

    I think that's how I accidentally picked Nathan. Most of the time if defaults to find and replace, but sometimes it uses the browser's find function.

    Incidentally, what are the limits in terms of picking players? Can we only draft players who appear in the Yahoo player list?

    Yeah, only Yahoo folks. This came up last year when Heyward wasn't listed. Players not on the list will be handled by waivers when they appear.
