Round 16 - Levent takes Mayne, Col - C

Ben: I'd been waiting on both Graves and Dipoto, andd this was the round I was going to take one of them....sigh.

Levent: BEN: From the rosters Widger is dropped, can you check??

James: I still see Widger as first string for Mon.

Ben: a bug in my program! Nobody's 2nd catcher will appear, or rather, their second catcher will displace their first one. I can fix this, but after I make my next pick. For now the rosters aren't updating.

Onder: is it my turn?

Ben: Onder - yes it's your turn.

Mike: Onder - it should be your turn

Round 17 - Toby takes Petrick, Col - C

Mike: Always tough when you suddenly realize your pick was taken in th 13th round - at least I realized that before picking!!

Mike: Gee levent - I am glad Toby didn't see your hint!

Levent: Petrick is in the minors...

Ben: Onder, since you started this round, Levent will end it, and then Tom will pick, i.e. you get skipped.

Mike: Toby: Are you picking again?

Round 17 - John takes Williams, SD - P

Toby: Petrick is listed on the roster on ESPN

Round 17 - Levent takes Loretta, Mil - SS

Toby: HOLD UP, folks, do we need to get the Petrick situation figured out?

Levent: No, he is on the NL roster...:-))

Toby: K!

Tom: So, is this resolved? Should I pick?

Ben: ESPN lists Mayne and Petrick as the only 2 catchers. I doubt he's in the minors, unless Col just picked up another catcher somewhere. Levent, what's your source?

Levent: To clarify, Petrick has been optioned to Colorado Springs on Monday, but he might be called up...

Mike: For what it is worth, SI list Mayne and Servais as teh Col. cathcers

Ben: I think it's up to Toby when he's satisfied that he's picked a major league pitcher.

Levent: And, ESPN lists Mayne and Servais as catchers...

James: The ESPN Fantasy Baseball depth chart shows S. Servais as Col 2nd catcher

Tom: Toby, are you okay with this? (I'm holding my pick until I hear something.)

Ben: Strange, at http://espn.go.com/mlb/rosters/col.html Servais isn't listed. Go figure...

Toby: I'm back. Sorry, my connection to ben's page died for a while. Yeah, I'm happy enough with the pick.
