Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 MOTHAFUCKAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! You ruined the outfield I wanted! Damn you alkeiper!
Agent of Oblivion Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Note to thread participants: Bored will be taking over for me next week, as I will be out of town.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 My nomination for biggest steal of the draft: OF Tony Gwynn
909 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I was going to take him, so that sucks. Instead, I'll take Catfish Hunter, SP.
Youth N Asia Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Stolen bases: 580 Fielding percentage: 978 15x all-star 13x gold gloves Starting at shortstop Ozzie Smith
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Well alkeiper took the guy who I wanted as my lead hitter, but I have a good replacement pick... Lou Brock
HarleyQuinn Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 My guy's an interesting pick... SP Rube Waddell - Only 193 W but was roughly the first "modern" strikeout heavy pitcher coupled with a great ERA+ at 135 for his career. He also had back to back seasons with a .248 and .286 BA with 3 HR just to rub it in. Take that Mike Hampton!
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 One of the greatest pitchers in the history of the negro leagues. SP Smokey Joe Williams
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 That wraps up this week of drafting. We'll resume Monday. When I started, I figured I'd pick up forgotten negro league stars and clean up that way. That strategy went right out the window. I need to figure out a new angle on this. One thing that's apparent is that at least a couple drafters have the New Historical Abstract handy. I need to outsmart Bill James here.
Fökai Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 My pick was between Dean, Smokey Joe and my next pick...I should be glad to get 2 out of 3.
Fökai Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I won't be here tonight, so I'm making the pick now. Building a multi-position team that will conform to any ballpark in the league, this pick is a no-brainer. It has to be mentioned again: 2 MVP awards, one each at SS and CF. My shortstop, Robin Yount. EDIT: I realize it's not time to make the pick, but I'm up next (tomorrow morning) and each team has drafted their required 6 players already. Had this not been the case, I would've held off the pick.
Bored Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Agent's pick: Gaylord Perry My pick: Jeff Bagwell
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 A guy that I'm surprised is still around. Some pop for the middle of my line-up and my starting right fielder. Ladies and gentleman, the man who tried to kill Queen Elizabeth: 'Mr. October' Reggie Jackson
909 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Kirby Puckett, CF. Sucks that his life turned out the way it did.
Smartly Pretty Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 SS, Barry Larkin. In a way I'm glad Youth N Asia picked Ozzie Smith, because I wasn't sure if I wanted to pick him and miss out on Harmon Killebrew, or take Killebrew and get the superior hitter in Larkin later (not that Larkin was a slouch with the glove), so Youth N Asia sorta made that decision for me. There are still two or three guys I'm really afraid aren't going to fall to me this week, but that's kind of the idea of this draft, isn't it?
Youth N Asia Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I considered Reggie Jackson and thought about playing him in left field, but I figured I'd keep all positions legit
