Not exactly sure how you've determined that, but I'm sure there's a chance Nick Markakis will carry you to the promise land!

Yea, you doubt Nick Markakis, he will be the sleeper of the draft!

p.s. Lee there was not one swear word in the chat log at the draft. You have conditioned us all to your liking.

Looks like Tony LaRussa was clearly bothered by Albert Pujols having to pull double duty for the vastly inferior verb1999 ballclub:



JUPITER, Fla. -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was arrested early Thursday and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, a misdemeanor, after he was found asleep at the wheel in his running SUV at a green light.

La Russa's SUV was stopped at a light that, according to police, went through two cycles of green. A driver behind La Russa had to go around his vehicle, police said.

Police found La Russa slumped over in the driver's seat of the running SUV. The manager of the world champion Cardinals had his foot on the brake and did not respond to knocks on the window, police said. He finally woke up and parked the car.

Police said they noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath, and a field sobriety test was conducted.

The 62-year-old LaRussa was sent to the Palm Beach County Jail around 4 a.m., according to the jail's Web site. La Russa provided breath samples, which measured at a .093 blood alcohol level, police said. The legal limit for drivers in Florida is 0.08.

Police didn't immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The Cardinals play spring training games at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.

I don't know if this is really the thread for this, but I don't think it belongs in the Twins thread, and I don't think it's worthy of it's own, so I'll put it here... whatever.

Has anybody seen this "Oracle" feature on Baseball-Reference.com? It's pretty sweet... it'll connect any two players in MLB history via teammates - it's kind of a "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" type of thing. I've seen it before, but for some reason today, I can't quit messing around with it.

I think there are actually more than "6 degrees" allowed on it though... it took 7 teammates to link "Shoeless" Joe Jackson to Matt Garza!

That is kind of neat. I went with Ty Cobb to Joe Mauer in 6.

You guys will need all the free B's you can get. And yea, sign on and set your line ups. A bunch of people wanted to sign up, why did you sign up if you weren't going to play. Or fork over your password for someone else to manage your team!

p.s. EREmpire, nice pick up in CoCoCrisp!
