Hamels Family Takes A Ride On The Orient Express

The Boston Pilgrims have traded man-crush Cole Hamels to the Wuxi Opium Eaters in exchange for PAT #2 draft pick.  Included in the deal are smoking hot wife Heidi and family Shih Tzu Muffin.

ANALYSIS: This deal is pretty cut and dried.  Wuxi needed keepers and had a surplus of picks.  BP needed to shed a surplus of players and was choosing between Hamels, Bautista, Strasburg among others.  The #2 pick is pretty fair value for SP of Hamels calibre even if he does end up as the #4 starter in the best rotation in baseball.

Draft 2011

So I know everyone is starting to get ramped up for the season.  I thought that I would offer a little food for thought.  Who will Tom select with the #1 pick in the draft?  The first 2 rounds are listed below for everyone's mocking pleasure...

ROUND 1

1.  Irish Labatts (via Multi Scorgasms)
2.  Melrose Warriors
3.  Luoyang Yellow Stars
4.  Fenway Flats
5.  DC Dynasty (via Metalheads)
6.  Royal Rooters
(Supplemental Picks for all who keep 4) - my estimate is 2

(Supplemental Picks for all who keep 5) - my estimate is 3

7.  Thunderlips

8.  DC Dynasty 2

9.  Irish Labatt 2 (via Rockers)     

10.  Chin Music

11.  Boston Pilgrims

12.  Royal Rooters 2(via Irish Labatt)

ROUND 2

13.  Irish Labatt 3

14.  Boston Pilgrims 2

15.  Chin Music 2

16.  Irish Labatt 4 (via Rockers)

17.  DC Dynasty 3

18.  Thunderlips 2

19.  Multiple Scorgasms (via Royal Rooters)

20.  Metalheads 

21.  Multiple Scorgasms 2 (via Fenway Flats)

22.  Luoyang Yellow Stars 2

23.  Multiple Scorgasms 3 (via Melrose Warriors)

24. Multiple Scorgasms 4

So there it is, the first 24 picks, plus another approx 5 from supplementals.  Metalheads are the last team not named Rockers to select a player.  Both Labatts and the Scorgasms will have made 4 selections (non supplemental) by the end of the second round.
