This draft is fun, because people are getting upset when guys like Jim Leyritz and Mike Redmond get taken earlier than anticipated.

Agreed. Great setup!

i stopped looking at pitchers early so i couldn't get upset...

Joe Nathan. Please sitemail thanks!

The fun part of this draft is that everybody will need at least 2 players to cover the five infield positions (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS) especially if your OF doesn't play any other positions. Many players have played two of these three positions in their careers (1B/C, 2B/SS, 1B/3B, etc.) but not as many have played three (or more) of these positions well enough to start them at all three (I don't count guys rated D-/D-).

Of course, drafting an outfielder who can play one of the infield positions helps.

Although it seemed a bit early to take him, Paul Molitor was a key pick for me.

Foxx was the gem of this draft. You could easily field a full lineup with him and one other player.

Billy Goodman can play all 4 infield positions and outfield.

He is no Jimmie Foxx but decent stats and defense.

I’ve never used this guy, let alone five of him. But let’s try
Koji Uehara

By proxy, mllama54 selects Michael Young.
