With the first pick of the 2040 Draft, The Chicago White Sox select:

CF Mickey Mantle

*huge applause*

[Slyder]

No chance of anyone I really like falling to 14. Don't see an immediate impact guy that should be.

[mntwinsfan]

I will get a good player at 8. But Mantle will be the only true stud hitter.

[OrioleMagic]

Only my World Series win makes me ok with missing this draft class...

SCsportsfan has 6 posts and hasn't posted since April, the same month he signed up. Is he even active?

[zodious]

Skip!

[Kingdom]

Leo is more impatient than a PMSing female.

[HollywoodLeo]

Did SCSportsFan send any updates for the previous season?

I would say that would most likely be no. If someone can get a hold of him then sure let's wait, but if no one knows for certain how to then I say skip to whoever is next.

[HollywoodLeo]

He listed an AIM screen name when he signed up in the open teams thread. I added it but I've never seen him logged on.

[HollywoodLeo]

Found him on AIM. This is the conversation.

HollywoodLeo 2:18 pm
Nobody really knows who you are because you have like 6 posts and haven't been active since April, lol

HollywoodLeo 2:20 pm
You're up in the draft.

My computer crashed

HollywoodLeo 2:24 pm
So, no internet access?

Byrddie7 2:26 pm
No. On phone only

Not sure how we want to proceed, but there you go.
