The Lipinski Proxy

frustratedpilotHey.
I spent most of yesterday either at my brother's place in Asheville or in transit. Today was his fantasy baseball league's draft day and I had to be there to cover for John Lipinski, who's in Florida and who has a team. So I had to call down to him when it was his turn to draft somebody and tell him who was taken before his choice.
I know current Major League baseball about as much as I know the history of the Flathead Indians (which is next to nil). So I made a pretty good proxy.
Each team in the league had forty players or so to pick, so this went on all evening. Bro' had lured me with the promises of pizza and a movie. The pizza was divine but it got too late for the movie.
For once, I'm glad there is a hobby I'm not taking up. This baseball business seems overly complex and demanding of time and intelligence.
