Just returned to Indy, and your messages beat me to the punch. I declare this one of the all-time outstanding drafts. The league's 25th year. Every owner in attendance (plus Jeff Cohen). An excellent venue -- thanks, Jeff. And I second Rich's thanks to Mark B. for all of his work as Commissioner.<br>
<br>Brad ... happy to share my therapist with you next year, but you'll have to sit by my side and not draft on a cardboard box.<br><br>As for the K9, same as it ever was. I eagerly logged on to Rotoworld as soon as I got home and saw two notes: Drew Smyly rocked again, and Stephen Drew's concussion systems persisting and foreclosing him from being ready for Opening Day. Oh well ... at least I have Colby Rasmus.<br>
<br>Great to see everyone!<br><br>-Andy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 9:14 PM, Mark Blocker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:blockermark@gmail.com" target="_blank">blockermark@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Andy, thanks for your entertaining impersonation of Woody Allen playing fantasy baseball.... Please, next year bring your life coach or therapist.<br>

For those of you with designs on the title, I have three words: first mover advantage.<br>
<br>
By the way, here's a link to the BA capsule bio on the guy I took with the last pick in the rotation draft (he actually does exist): <a href="http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/38961" target="_blank">http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/38961</a>.<br>
