May I recommend my 2011 AAT Josue Carreno, who will likely be part of Lakeland's rotation this season?

Nice choice and I too expect to see him as a starter for LFT. Unfortunately, I seem to kill SP'ers (Tata/Ardoin/Rusch).

**VegasTiger** · 01-20-2012, 04:50 AM

Well, for the second year in a row, I'll take the big cheese(w/pepperoni), the top dog, the head honcho. If only he would return the favor and adopt me:

Mike Illitch

**DaYooperASBDT** · 01-20-2012, 08:28 AM

Chris Brown selects:

Jamie Johnson, OF

and sagnam selects:

Jesus Ustariz, INF

**Simple Simon** · 01-20-2012, 09:36 AM

Eric Patterson 2B/OF

**pop out 2 short** · 01-20-2012, 01:29 PM

With the 85th pick JR selects Dave Dombrowski.

We're to #90 or so and my guy is still on the board. At #103, I'll be crushed if he's taken now. I'll probably beg for him if someone takes him, so be warned!

**DaYooperASBDT** · 01-20-2012, 04:03 PM

You need to work a draft pick trade - those are allowed!

**toadhunter911** · 01-20-2012, 04:19 PM

With the 88th pick, toadhunter911 humbly selects JORDAN LENNERTON 1B. Jordan played last season with Lakeland and hopes to make the jump to Erie this season.

I haven't even started researching players yet... at 118 I figure it's better not to get my heart set on anybody. ;)

**Sports_Freak** · 01-20-2012, 08:50 PM

Yoop? Does this go all night? Should I PM you my pick? Thanks!

**tiger paw paw** · 01-20-2012, 09:56 PM

Crap I finally get a great pick and forget to check for 10 days. I'll take Heather Nabozny and have the nicest lawn in Michigan...

Ustairz was high on my list as well. There were a couple of guys who had promising seasons in the VSL, but his looked like the best.

Had I not gotten Suarez, I was debating between Ustairz, Marte, Voss and Aguasvivas. All of these guys had encouraging seasons, although Aguasvivas was a bit old for the GCL.

I do sleep at night, but picks can be made 24/7 if you're on the clock - remember you do get a 24-hour window though. Free feel to PM me an ordered want list for your picks - if I'm around and you're not (and on the clock) I'll make the pick for you.

**TigerFan1984** · 01-21-2012, 12:19 AM

I pick Cale Iorg

**hueytaxi** · 01-21-2012, 12:34 AM

I've got Fantasy Camp most of tomorrow and will be back on line late afternoon.

**Antrat** · 01-21-2012, 06:37 AM

With the 93rd pick (and IMO the most crucial pick), I select Head!

Get your minds out of the gutter!

Jerad Head!

Outfielder galore! Sure to be a future superstar now that Cleveland is flushed from his stool!

**Lousluggage** · 01-21-2012, 08:34 AM

So who is Jose Ortega and why doesn't anybody seem to want him? Poor thing. ;)

**Freehan_1968** · 01-21-2012, 08:40 AM

Yoop

Just pm'd you a very slightly revised list. Really hoping to get my first or second choice.

**davidsb** · 01-21-2012, 10:48 AM

Hueytaxi is on deck. If you need any photos of your selection, let me know!

**LeFlorist** · 01-21-2012, 11:01 AM

For the second year in a row, I'll adopt Brandon Douglas.

In 2011, Douglas picked a bad year to start slowly -- his .212 average in April kept him out of a very winnable who-shall-replace-Carlos-Guillen sweepstakes. But he got back on his horse for the rest of the year, posting career highs in pretty much every category. There is an excellent chance BD can make an impact at the big league level in 2012.

I'll have to ask Huey to get me some pictures of Head.

**C03BRA** · 01-21-2012, 11:25 AM

Surprised Wood and Burgos still haven't been picked...

Holaday must have fallen off Tiger fans radar as well

**Detroit Rock City** · 01-21-2012, 11:51 AM

With the delayed 87th pick, I will take Tigers Head Athletic Trainer Kevin Rand

**Jeff6851** · 01-21-2012, 12:53 PM

I'll take Mario

Nevermind.

Yup, I really think he may be in the Tigers plans for this year, barring a trade.

My wife wanted me to take Brandon but I had to stick to my theory of taking players that will be in Lakeland for the Flying Tigers (hopefully). I was surprised that he was not selected earlier or invited as a NRI to the major league camp. He has been invited to the minor league mini-camp that starts a couple of weeks prior to minor league camp. He did get off to a bad start last year but batted 300 from May 1 until the end of the season setting career a career high in stolen bases.
