Though I missed out on Jimmy Spicer - 7th original AO Deadpool rejected pick to die, 8th overall (one sub pick also rejected & now dead) - I do get a hit with Jose Jose. He was an addition to my list this year. He was a substitute pick in the DDP, so no points for me there. This has shaken up the top 10. Joey Russ still leads, Captain Chorizo 2019 and I move into second, maintaining our tie.
