All,

Let me start by wishing my IBL brethren a safe and wonderful Christmas (to
those of you celebrating Christmas) and a safe and wonderful holiday season
to those of you who celebrate something else.  And if you don't celebrate
anything....well, hope you're having a great day.

And to those owners who offered up home run champs, first string catchers
and hard hitting outfielders to have or swap with my 1-5 pick, I say thank
you very much.  It was fun negotiating, but as I mentioned in my emails,
there was a name that I had on my list and he's still there.

I actually had 2 names, in all honesty.  And as I pondered what Baltimore
Sand Crab baseball will be in the upcoming years, I wanted to make sure
that I didn't bungle the 1-5 pick.

So, without further ado......the Baltimore Sand Crabs welcome

*CHN Kyle Schwarber*

A power hitting, catcher rated, left fielder eligible, ready to plug into
the lineup for 1/2 the games this coming year kind of player.....  One that
should fit well with Machado, Castro, Altuve and Hosmer in the infield.

And yes, it WAS very hard as there was another player who came THIS CLOSE
to being drafted (some of you know of whom I speak)

So, let the draft move on (sorry Brent that the pick took so long 😇 )

Motor City (MCM) is now on the clock
