Joltin' Joe, Stan the Man, and Teddy Ballgame. What an Outfield!!!
Love the picks of Ted Williams and Stan Musial especially at the spots they were taken at but I question the third pick of Joe DiMaggio. OF is such a deep position and getting 2 of the best there is there is great but, why a 3rd one, why not go for a SP or SS there? Anyways, might need to trade for one of ur OF

Well, the next two shortstops taken were Appling and Cronin. Would you rather have either of them over Dimaggio? I still needed a center fielder as much as any other position and I think Dimaggio was the best option left there. It was either him or Mays and Joe's '39 season seemed to have any of Willie's beat for rate stats.

The draft is moving indeed!

My team is shaping up nicely. Although I lost out on Albert Pujols last round Willie McCovey & Hank Greenberg were nice consolation prizes!

Bryce Harper might hit leadoff on this team.

I plan on using Gwynn and his .394 Batting Average from 1994 in the leadoff spot.

I like how my team is shaping up so far. But I liked my last team too and it only won 65 games.

Missed out on Roger Connor by two picks, after missing out on Tris Speaker by one pick earlier in the draft. Hopefully this trend does not continue

Looking to build a juggernaut offense with some super sleeper pitchers in there. Might have drafted a few guys a round early, but they're the guys I want. Hopefully there aren't other people eyeing the pitchers I want

Update- putting the juggernaut offense on hold because there's still like 4 guys at each offensive position left I want, might as well get some pitching.

It'll be interesting to see what players are taken that weren't selected last time, and how early in the draft that it starts happening

I like having Koufax & Gibson as your 1 & 2 starters Worms. What's your home park?

Miller Park which bodes well for my hitters!

So what happened to Mark McGwire last season? I saw his stat line was highlighted in yellow as if he were traded or put on waivers but that isn't allowed in this league is it?

Trading was allowed last season - banned for this go round. Big Mac was a hot pile of garbage; if memory serves he ended up in a "challenge" trade.

Thanks. I'm hoping last season was just a fluke for McGwire.

Certainly seems like the right time in the draft to have rolled the dice. Good luck!

Since I've got a little time to kill before my flight, I'll go unfiltered for a bit and make some way-too-early predictions for playoff teams. I wonder if any of these will end up being right... (probably not).

NL East - Very tough one right off the bat. slainte has out drafted me before, so I'm inclined to give him the edge
NL Central - Another tight one. Could go either way between jbar8888 and SouthHeat. I'll give it to jbar8888 since he's defending champ
NL West - I'm definitely bias, but the draft has gone pretty well for me and I'm confident my strategy will work well.
Wildcard - Lots to choose from here. Despite being late on a lot of these early picks, I really like what duece_duece has going and think it'll be him

AL East - I like what asufan04 is doing with his squad. Good mix of hitting and pitching so far
AL Central - If Morris and Welch hold up, which I think they will, my money's on bottomlee
AL West - Tough to bet against a quality owner like ej, but I like Rattlers team a bit more so far
Wildcard - If ejstockman can get the most out of Reb Russell (harder to do than for King, surprisingly), he's got this
