Rules: Every hitter with at least one plate appearance and pitcher with at least one batter faced in the MLB is available in this draft: UPDATE: Players are only eligible if they had at least 1 MLB plate appearance or batter faced no later than the end of the 2012 season. A small "Exception List" of players expected or likely to play a significant role in the MLB in 2013 follows the draft order section. 25 man rosters are set as C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3rd, LF, CF, RF, DH, 5 starting pitchers, at least 5 RPs and 5 bench players.
The Draft: The order of this draft has been determined randomly (names literally pulled out of a hat), and will follow a serpentine order. There is a 48 hour clock between picks, and each GM is responsible for PMing the following GM once they have made their selection. If a GM believes they will be unable to post their selection within that 48 hour window for whatever reason, they must submit a contingency pick either to myself, or to another poster. UPDATE: Following the conclusion of Round 9, the pick window will be dropped to 24 hours. They will be able to add their rationale for their selection at a later time, but steady progress in the draft is the most important point. Failure to post a selection or submit a contingency pick twice will result in the replacement of the GM with a "Taxi Squad" member.

Posey is the kind of catcher you go for. A batting title, patience, power, defensive skills. He is exceedingly well rounded and heading into his prime. He wasn't going to last that much longer anyway.
