1954 Don Mossi

$3,518,574

Current Payroll: $75,563,717

Bill James:

"Don Mossi was the complete ugly player. He could run ugly, hit ugly,
throw ugly, field ugly, and ugly for power. He was ugly to all fields.
He could ugly behind the runner as well as anybody, which made him a great
ugly-and-run man. And you talk about pressure... man, you never saw a
player who was uglier in the clutch." - Historical Baseball Abstract, Pg 217

1965 Sonny Siebert $6,283,527

He was taken in round 4. I've notified chewy. The draft can continue.

1937 Johnny Allen $5,447,525

In the previous Draft Tournament, in League #8 (1980-88), I had '86 Ron Hassey & '81 Bo Diaz platooning at catcher. They combined to hit .299 with 94 RBIs in 598 ABs. Unfortunately, footballmm11 took '81 Bo Diaz two rounds ago.

I know it's a different season than the version I had in league #8, but I will take

1980 Ron Hassey, $4,297,519

Strange fact: Despite having an A+ arm, '81 Diaz only threw out 11 of 58 potential base stealers (19%) which seems almost impossible. The league CS% was 25%. How is a catcher with an A+ throwing arm that far below league average in CS%?
