[tarcone]

I pmed him

[jbergey22]

Well this is moving at a snails pace.

[bhlloy]

Sorry guys, out all evening. Homer pick alert

San Fernando Dragons Select:

Mike Trout, 2018 Los Angeles Angels

[Vince, Pt. II]

Was seriously wondering where to slot him. I think it's a reach, but he was in my top ten for sure. I can't imagine you will be disappointed with the pick.

I also can't believe I get the best baseball player of all time at #5, but I'll take what fortune wants to give me.

The Willow City Wreckers select:

Willie Mays - CF - 1954 (New York Giants)

I have sent a PM to cmgdodgers to let them know they are on the clock.

[cmgdodgers]

Rogers Hornsby 2b Stl Cards 1924

[spleen1015]

Strategy defined. I'm ready to rock & roll. You guys just need to let me have the players that I want.

Ooo...the horoscope strategy...I didn't think of that one...

[yeah826]

I had Pmed my pick a while ago but for you guys its

2001 73 HR Barry Bonds SF Giants DH

[spleen1015]

UGH

[thehitcat]

Pedro Martinez - SP - Boston Red Sox 1999

[jbergey22]

Alex Rodriguez,, SS Seattle Mariners 2000

[spleen1015]

1.10 Ted Williams 1941
2.1 Walter Johnson 1913

[jbergey22]

Dwight Gooden, SP New York Mets, 1985

[spleen1015]

Yikes, just PMed you.

[jbergey22]

LOL. I was ready with my picks.

Love the Ted Williams pick. I just wasnt sure if the defense was going to populate like it does on "Perfect Team" where it seems like the old time players get severe penalties on their defense. I think it was suppose to have been fixed on the last patch.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Ted Williams and Walter Johnson at the back end of round one seems like absurd value.

[EagleFan]

Work is crushing me this week. I'll be on this evening to get everything updated.

[thehitcat]

Sandy Koufax - SP - Los Angeles Dodgers 1965

[yeah826]

2001 Randy Johnson Arizona Diamonbacks SP

[Vince, Pt. II]

Excellent choices; I love Randy Johnson especially for being a Diamondback and leaving options open for later in the draft.

[Vince, Pt. II]

FYI I am out of pocket most of the rest of today. I have given a ~20 player list to EagleFan to hopefully keep things moving if it gets stuck on me.

[cmgdodgers]

1956 Mickey Mantle NYY

[bhlloy]

Vince PM'd me, this is his pick (EF has a list if it goes any further)

The Willow City Wreckers select:

Hank Aaron, 1961 Milwaukee Braves

Vince - I went ahead and gave you his best year by WAR as you didn't specify, I'm sure nobody will begrudge you if you want to change it later

[bhlloy]

The San Fernando Dragons select:

Cy Young, 1892 Cleveland Spiders

Assuming that the Spiders are a distinct franchise and this leaves the Indians on the board for me later correct?

tarcone is on the clock, sending PM

[tarcone]

Dang. Cy Young was on my list.

The Big Inning Corn Kings select:

1911 Detroit Tigers Ty Cobb

PMing David

[Breeze]

Tallahassee Federals Select:

1908 Pittsburgh Pirates - Honus Wagner
1975 Cincinnati Reds - Joe Morgan

Stamford Cyberams Select:

SS Cal Ripken Jr - Baltimore Orioles - 1991

Thanks bhlloy. I think I actually had 1963, but I'll verify when I get back to a computer.

[bhlloy]

Yeah, interestingly 1961 was his best WAR year but not even close to his best offensive year (I realized this after I was posting as I was evaluating my pick) - actually was a down year for offense but highest based on a pretty dramatic swing in defensive WAR. I'd probably go for a different year as well if it was up to me.

2 picks?

[bhlloy]

Yeah, he was one away from the turn but got skipped, so he gets to go back to back. Tarcone is back on the clock.

David, my bad...if you want either of the guys I picked it's fine. I don't mind changing one of my picks...

[EagleFan]

Updated he draft post through 2.4. Will be back on shortly to continue the updates.

Randy Johnson was a pain. Except for one other player the "01" version of the player has been the one we wanted... Randy Johnson was 05. I guess there were a lot of johnsra players that year. Including a Rankin Johnson Jr. AND Rankin Johnson Sr.... who knew...

No, I took the guys I wanted, Honus would've been in a debate with Cal, but that was always going to be my second pick, Carl was always going to be first, so it's fair game.

Honus was #1 on the list I submitted to EagleFan last night, but I waffled, and some friends eventually talked me into Hank Aaron.

If you had taken Wagner I was taking Ripken
