Was it this early in the day last year?

What is the worst spot we could pick ? is it 6th ? I was thinking it was only for the top 6 picks and we could do no worse then what we have ?

I didn’t think so.

Just checked and it looks like it was 5:30 PT last year.

That would be a big disappointment after all of the hard work Nevin put into tanking the season.

Last year, the Angels didn't get totally screwed, but ended up picking a couple spots later than their record. We'll see how it works out this year.

There's gotta be riots if any of these come in.

Worst case for the Angels is the Mariners get the #1, and we'll have Matt Olson clone Nick Kurtz hitting bombs against us for the next decade.

They're not picking before the A's.

Why were the Mets skipped? And the teams at the bottom? Their graphic was misleading.
