All Time Yankees Draft

A mini-MLB draft is in the works. Instead of the whole of MLB history for this one, we are going to focus solely on the New York Yankees. Why the Yankees, a team I despise? They simply have the talent necessary to sustain this kind of idea. I'd run Phillies, but who is going to get excited over Fred Luderus?

 

We have five entrants. Myself, Canadian Chris, Smues, Brooklyn Zoo and 161st and River. One more person can join in if they are interested.

 

Here are the basics.

1. 21 man rosters (eight position players and a DH, three reserves, five starters, three relievers, and a manager)

2. You draft a player's career ONLY as a Yankee. If you draft Randy Johnson, you're getting 34 career victories.

3. A player may only be chosen either as a manager or player. A player may not be chosen twice for each role. Two exceptions, Hal Chase and Clark Griffith may be player-managers.

4. All home parks are assumed to be Yankee Stadium.

Ok, Chase was essentially barred from baseball for throwing ballgames. It happened over a period of a decade, and at times it was blatant. Worse, other players would follow his example. Nearly every team he joined got worse, and better when he left. He is rumored to have a role in arranging the fix of the 1919 World Series.

 

He was a brilliant defensive first baseman and a great physical player. But I wouldn't want him within five miles of my team.

Sounds like I got another True Yankess.

Giants select RP Ryne Duren. Duren was an extremely hard thrower who wore thick glasses. He finished second in rookie of the year balloting in 1958, and made All-Star teams in 1958 and '59. He was by far the league's most prolific strikeout pitcher in his prime.

 

From the BR Bullpen...

 

A hard-throwing, hard-drinking relief pitcher who spent most of his career in the American League, Ryne Duren was frightening to bat against because he only intermittently had control of his prodigious fastball. Thick "Coke bottle" glasses, a reputation for heavy drinking, and a tendency to throw warmup pitches against the backstop only heightened batters' unease. Following his playing career, Ryne Duren spent many years involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and the recovery movement.

For 161st and River, I have a 1B/DH and an OF. Both picks would give the team no backup infielder or catcher. I am going to give this team their first pick, Ron Blomberg. For the second pick, I am going to suggest shortstop/outfielder Tom Tresh. Shane Spencer is set aside in case 161st and River would rather take him instead.

I'll be out until tomorrow afternoon, so I sent my next pick to CC.

 

161st and River is free to exchange his picks for anyone remaining on the board when he returns.

Al sent me his pick...a bit slow on the basepaths, IMO, but takes up a lot of room in the field:

Oh wait...sorry, misread that:

Dodgers round out their roster with utility man Randy Velarde, (sorry, Al), and select manager Ralph Houk.

 

I'll do my lineup on the weekend, once I get my new router installed.
