Out of the people here that has ALREADY drafted your first player, any regrets or are you guys happier than pigs in shit with your pick?

treble 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I was just going to take the highest player left on Bill James' top 100 list who was available. He had Charleston at #4, so I'm happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I don't think you can make a bad pick in the first round of this draft? Well a few people here actually chose a player who plays a position worse than a player not chosen (see: Randy Johnson, no offense to Harley). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al actually advised me to take Charleston, but I was stupid to think only he would know about Charleston and that it'd be safe to hedge my bets and take him in the second round, but not only did you take him, you took him before I could even use my first pick on him. Good move, Treble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well a few people here actually chose a player who plays a position worse than a player not chosen (see: Randy Johnson, no offense to Harley). My reasoning was: Johnson has a career 11.12 K/9 and has averaged almost 200 innings a season. He also has a career 3.2 K/BB ratio, which should surely help. When he was on top of his game, he was putting up sub 2.50 ERA's in a fairly extreme hitters era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I know I had more time, but I went with my gut instinct since my original choice (Clemens) was taken a few picks before me. Plus I didn't want to hold up the draft by taking my sweet ass time to make a selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Either way, Ryan was a good pick. I'm surprised he lasted this long, it's sad that it was taken on an "oops its my turn, I pick uh..." moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well a few people here actually chose a player who plays a position worse than a player not chosen (see: Randy Johnson, no offense to Harley). If you mean Hornsby, I realize he's not #1 defensively, but few second basemen are better hitters and that's generally what I was looking for. In the 1920s, during his prime, he was the National League's answer to Babe Ruth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
