(Sorry for the delay on the pick; it's been a rough 24 hours. I have other picks this round and, barring something similar, should be able to make my selections much quicker.)

[Yankees GM (Peyton)]

With Baltimore on the clock and Greg out of town (see chat window), should we collectively be assigning the Orioles their next pick?

I have no problem with that. The traditional practice has been to assign the undrafted (in SD) player who was selected earliest in the 2019 MLB Amateur draft. Can anyone confirm that's what Greg did in previous rounds ?

Yes, that has been the approach. Perhaps one or two more owners to give the go ahead on this? It seems obvious, but I'm not the commish.

[Giants GM (Frank)]

Baltimore has been auto assigned every pick up to this point so doesn't make sense to not auto assign highest undrafted this time. I don’t know Greg so I don’t know if he would consider it stepping on his toes, or saving him work and making sure the league keeps moving.
Just a new guys two cents.

[DBacks GM (Dan)]

Greg isn't precious, he won't mind at all. I know he'd see it as keeping the draft moving.

It was whether he had taken highest undrafted approach that I wanted confirming. I was away from the board for 2 rounds, so didn't really see what happened.

Does anyone know who the we should auto-assign ?

[Giants GM (Frank)]

ok got it. yes, he has been assigning highest available MLB drafted and signed, which at this point would be Karl Kauffman, I believe. RHP ROCKIES

[Yankees GM (Peyton)]

That is correct. Kauffmann.
