pmars has his doubting Thomas, so I think I can take 2004 Frank Thomas.

Jolteon has his Pennock already, so 33 Pennock and his teamate Bill Dickey....

I think my best teammate so far is Joe McGinnity ('04 Mathewson). Those two, with a mixed third of '28 Grove/'02 Unit should serve me well.

Big dropoff in quality and I need some ABs at catcher. Plus Goslin (.354, .425, .542) might make the team.

I've used my teammate selections on hitting mostly and a couple of relief pitchers

And I'm actually fine using the 13th picked Mathewson in my rotation. For this draft I've decided to try and outslug everyone else and I have a lineup that I like. Now that might not work, especially in light of almost everyone else having similar lineups of Ruth & Gehrig, etc, but we'll see.

That's the beauty of Wifs - there are a lot of different ways to win including speed, defense, slugging, pitching, etc and I've tried them all and have had both good success and disasters with them all.

I must add, this has been one of my favourite drafts ever. There is so much strategy invoved in using the limited teammate selections, the available players, the changing draft order, etc that it has been an extremely fun and frustrating experience

I can't agree more. You should send a note to bheid408. This was his idea and he was nice enough to let me run season 2. I'm already looking forward to running season 3. I'm going to add a little wrinkle... only players with 16+ seasons from 1940-2009 will be eligible (we'll still use the blacklist). No more deadball 350-400 IP type guys and no more Babe Ruth connnections.

Remind me to draft a teammate of 2001 Bonds then ;)
