Unlucky Dip Player #7: :nzf: :wk: Trevor McMahon
Nominated by: @Neptune
Received by: @Aravind
Trevor McMahon was a top-quality gloveman and a genuine non-batter: that said, a proper gloveman is a valuable role to have checked off during the Unlucky Dip phase of this draft.
Aravind's XI so...
Unlucky Dip Player #6: :ind: :ar: Baqa Jilani

Nominated by: @ddrap14 and @Till Valhalla
Received by: @Till Valhalla
