Adopt A Giant 2010: II (sfoakbay, Ramah71, ACgiant97)

EDIT: YES THREE PEOPLE CAN DRAFT AT ONCE
And now we begin. Let's go over how this is going to work. Below is the draft order, I'll be letting three people draft at a time (for the first, I'll let Lars pick his first pick first and then I'll put Goofus and myself up. If you can figure out that you should be drafting, then you can draft. But every so often I'll be updating the title of the FanPost with the names of the people who are up to the plate.
WHO YOU CAN DRAFT
Anyone related to the Giants organization. Here is the 40-man Roster. Here is the Non Roster Invitee list. Here are the coaches and trainers. Here are the Front Office people. Here is the broadcasting team. Here is SF Dugout's community prospect list (more comprehensive than our own). They are not limited to these resources, perhaps there's a career minor leaguer you want to draft, and that's fine. For you, at least. We already knew you were strange.
WHO YOU CAN'T DRAFT
WHAT IF I DIDN'T SIGN UP?
If you didn't catch the earlier threads then you can still draft, you'll be at the bottom, but you still are eligible to draft. Also, after the draft is over, if anyone just wants to pick a still available player, that's fine.

I wanna see everyone working together to make sure we have the best draft possible!
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.

Let's get today started properly
I select Duane Kuiper (I didn’t see any claims)
Why? because he drinks on the job and so do I.
On the clock? ryanmiles.
Yay! Last Pick!
Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.

Ouch. He was up there on my list.
The Kids: Lewis, Posey, Sandoval, Bowker, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Ishikawa, Amezaga
Current Team: Rowand, Sanchez, DeRosa, Sandoval, Huff, Molina, Renteria, Schierholtz
The Kids' CHONE WAR projection= 12.7
Current Team's CHONE WAR projection= 12.6
because his name starts with a C?
Honorary Parent of Duane Kuiper because he, like all of us, drinks to make the Giants seem better.

He was my second choice. I was really close to taking him.

Someone should point out that the title of the fanpost is now so long it cuts off the second name. I don’t think that’s helping the slowest draft ever.
Possible uses for your Steven Johnson: 5th starter, long reliever, batboy, go-fer, food taster. Just keep him on the roster!
There has to be a reason why sfoakbay hasn’t shown up here. He did sign on yesterday but I guess he went elsewhere. Did someone treat him like he was Mike Fox?

Don’t mention Mike Fox, I’m hoping to draft him when it’s my turn to pick in 62 more years.
I have finally accepted the fact that I will never win a McCoven award.
Wow, I didn't even know there was a draft this year.
Has anyone drafted The Clump Of Dirt That Causes Bad Hops On Bouncing Balls To Third Base yet?
The last time a major Bay Area sports team won a championship was January 29, 1995. Brian Sabean began his tenure with the Giants in 1996. There's only one explanation: Space Nazis are using HAARP mind-control rays on Northern California. We're through the looking glass here, people.

Possible uses for your Steven Johnson: 5th starter, long reliever, batboy, go-fer, food taster. Just keep him on the roster!
2. The line at the DMV

This is slightly insulting to compare this line to the one at DMV. I just went to the DMV at El Cerrito for driver license renewal. I was in and out in an hour WITHOUT an appointment. Wouldn’t it be fun if DMV insist on waiting for a guy who took a number than went to lunch or emigrated to Russia?
Here is the thing about this comparison
The DMV is slow because the people in charge have a terrible system in place. This draft is slow because the people in line are slow. And whiney. And smelly.
You are describing the people at the DMV perfectly.
Utter frustration and futility.

wow! I am overwhelmed with so many different and competing questions:
1) The Giants actually have a position called: Director, Minor League Operations/Quantitative Analysis?
2) This position is not a euphamism for, “team janitor and ass-wiper”?
3) A kid with the name Yeshayah Goldfarb was actually a division I pitcher?
4) Does Brian Sabean know this kid’s name?
5) DId the job description mention that “quantitative analysis” requires anything beyond being aware that baseball statistics really amount to hits, runs and runs batted in?
All reasons for taking him.
with my draft pick.
It was really hard laying off of Jeffery Leonard though. I mean we’re talking Aaron-Rowand-Slider-On-The-Black kind of hard to lay off. I still have a nearly-queerly affinity for him after 1987, doing everything within his power to:
A: Embarrass the city of St Louis
B: Piss off Whitey Herzog, Jose Oquendo, and Ozzy Smith
C: Single-handedly slugging the Giants into the World Series
and successfully earning the NLCS MVP despite Candy Moldonado.

What happens if players start retiring before the draft is over?

Retired!?! Most of the players will be dead before this draft finishes.

Maybe we need a new thread? Just noticed this isn’t on the main page anymore.
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.
And we should bribe Grant to put it on the Front Page. I’m goin on a beer run for Grant, who wants to chip in?

I just noticed that too. It’s certainly not going to speed the drafting process.

ive seriously been ready to draft for weeks now…how did these guys get ahead of me exactly?
i understand if you dont come on here every day, but if you take the time to respond that you want to draft, then you should have a reasonable amount of time to do so or you go to the back of the line…imho

On the bright side maybe we’ll get to pick someone in this years draft…just don’t put your pick in for 3 months…

I see that being totally batshit insane with people selecting at the same time with some of the same selections.
We just need a one day or two clock for people and if they do not pick in that time they get bumped to the end of the line.

At some point after opening day last year, it did become a free-for-all, but I don’t think there were this many people left to make picks. Maybe a new unofficial draft thread is in order?

Someone will come for us everyone, don’t worry.

I suggest you do the same.

And it worked so well last season.
Maybe one of yous guys should put up a new fanpost with updated lists. Maybe one that puts the guys not selecting on the backburner until they show up? Eh? Eh? Eh.
Really, I don’t think it’s going to hurt WalrusMan’s feelings if somebody else takes charge since he can’t be here all the time.

I think we should all take Wellemeyer and put him on our sig's...
It can be a sort of badge of honor of losers who have no adoptee
Fuck it. Sorry Walrusman, but I am going to make a new thread. Lets see here….
