Player Per Team Draft

[Tyrus4189Cobb]

No Roids: Sorry for the loss.
Wade: Have a safe trip. Careful!
ian: Taking Collins? I wouldn't leave the house tomorrow...

I'll take Stan Musial.

[No Roids]

Ty,

I sent you a PM with my next 2 picks.
Just trying to keep things moving along

[Chadwick]

So it seems we've got the following up next:

Ron
Roids x 2 (proxy is Ty)
Ron
Ty

Should move quickly.

Sure, as long as Ty and Ron are on at the same time.

There are several "inner circle" guys still out there, in my opinion. I've got to take one of them, but which one? Hard decisions. Okay, I'll go with a tougher position to fill and a franchise that isn't real deep in greats-

I'll take Mike Schmidt.

[Tyrus4189Cobb]

Roids wants Nap Lajoie and Joe Mauer.

Back to you, Ron.

[BigRon]

Oh boy. There are several all time great position players still out there. There are also several all time great pitchers remaining. What to do? What to do? I think great pitching is slightly scarcer. Okay, which one? I'll take a right hander to balance out Grove. I'll take

Roger Clemens.

By the way, I never liked Clemens, but he was a great great pitcher.

Funny thing with this draft is that a few all-time greats are going to go undrafted- either because their teams had too many other all time greats (Yankees), or their careers have been spent primarily with post 1969 expansion teams (Randy Johnson, Robbie Alomar), or they failed to make the 700 game minimum with any franchise (I'll let you figure those guys out)

Warren Spahn for me.

Probably depends on how you define alltime great. Even though position distribution is uneven I imagine just about all of the most commmonly accepted top 50 or 60 position players will go, plus the top 25 or so pitchers.

Yeah, thats pretty accurate, I'd say. MOST of those guys will go but there are a couple that just cant for the reasons I listed. Randy Johnson is pretty darn close to being a Top 25 pitcher but he's ineligible because he doesnt have 200 appearances with a qualifying franchise and our wild card player has to be a 19th century guy.

And with the Yankees- 4 have been picked so far and we only can have 7 picked. That means that out of DiMaggio, Dickey, Berra, Ford and Mariano Rivera, 2 of these players will NOT be in this league.

[ian2813]

Come on, RMB! I'm itching to make a pick! I've been waiting all day!

[Wade8813]

I'm done with Army stuff for today. I'll be going to dinner in a bit, and may do a little bit of stuff with Army buddies, but should be able to check in every once in a while for the rest of the evening.

[BigRon]

Tyrus said RMB needs to pick by 5:52 EST, but actually I think that was his start time. I think he's got until some time tomorrow morning to make his pick.

If he has eight hours, that means he has until 1:52 AM EST.
