1901 Off Season Thread

[BigRon]

My team will be the Lighthouse Point Bums. Lew will get it.

I don't have any computer graphics skills so I probably won't have a team logo, though it would be nice.

I will set you up with a logo ... along with any other teams who don't provide one

Just do what I do. Search for what you want through Google Image Search. Save it and use it

Absolutely incredible! Had this happened when the CKL formed, I can absolutely guarantee that Willie Mays would have been a Legend, not a Knight (well, he was a legend anyway, but not with a capital L). Now the tough decision - who to take? In my mind it comes down to three players: Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie and Christy Mathewson. Comments, anyone?

[buppers]

Hey Lew, They are my top 3 too Since pitchers only go every 4th or 5th game, I will go with Wagner or Lajoie. So basically, you are making my pick for me.( Unless you make the unlikely pick of Mathewson)

Yup, I get it.

Here's another logo option:

Sure glad you all have player ratings figured out already. Anyone got some for sale?

Discussed this with Dan (Erik) as well, a couple of days ago. It will be either Wagner or Lajoie; just can't justify taking a pitcher, no matter how good, with the top pick. Leaning towards Wagner, but will have to take another look at their stats. Either way, Ed, I figure we both win this one. And the Tigers ain't in too bad shape, either, huh Dan (Scuba)?

[Erik Bedard]

Wagner is clearly the fourth-best player in this draft. There are three other guys I would absolutely take ahead of him without a moment's hesitation.

[catcher24]

Another possible logo for your consideration, Ron. I could also adjust the colors/font of the lettering, etc. if that interests you.

Would that view have anything to do with the fact you're drafting FOURTH Dan?

Nice try though!!

I love how we can decide that a pitcher might be the best option available then simultaneously decide there's no way we want to take them because they only pitch every few days. I mean, by that logic, everyone should select their starting 9 before the first SP gets taken - and we all know that doesn't make any sense.

Shhhhh. They'll figure it out.

What we are saying is when several players are equally ranked then we will almost always take the position player. If you look over some CKL drafts you will see pitchers taken above position players early in the draft. The coming CKL draft should see Fernando go fast - probably before I pick at #4.
