One of my favorite players. If only his defense at first didn't blow so bad. The switch-hitting would make robusk cream himself.
Yeah...  he is good.

I still haven't seen anyone with a Woodie Jacobs type bat.
Jacobs isn't someone you see come around very often, but I was smitten with him the second he was available in the draft. The fact that Jacobs can even play moderately effective defense is astounding, given his doubleplus good bat. The fact that he can reliably play a position like that where others tank is pretty awesome.

I feel lucky to have Christman in that world, but being in the NL I sometimes wonder if I could package him for something that would make more sense defensively as well.
I am glad you have invited Christman into your life.

Milwaukee signed both of my Type A guys. I guess I can't complain, though. I have five of the first 100. That's decent.

A problem is a lot of teams picking early in draft are either picking there because they don't know what they're doing and maybe don't budget well enough, or they're new owners who can't budget that well anyway. So there are usually a few really good players that slip into the teens.
NL teams with a 1b men in the system won't look at him.  Also, look at how many pitchers are taken in the first historically, maybe you have a pitching heavy drafters.
I don't really consider positional depth when I set my draft board. I usually just go best player available and figure that if they're good enough, I'll make it work out. And if I so happen to draft into a surplus, it's not like I'm shy about making trades.

Ruth, $, and DM... I think I have like a Merv Christman as a pitcher or something. Or maybe that's in Gleeman.

Torres isn't that good...

Nice work by Liverpool getting 50 million for him, but spending 49 combined for Charlie Adam and Andy Carroll is ridiculous.

Oh...  I thought you meant a hitter rated like that.

Crazy that in all of our seasons playing in the same worlds, b0t and I have only played each other 15 times.  We are never in the same league.
