I hate having an early pick in this draft.

Particularly during r2...

I agree that an early pick is not good (especially this time around). I don't see any team that really stands out to me and I'm sure to get slammed in the 2nd round. I'll take the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics - sitemailing next...

Early pick has some discourse.
I think that the last pool had a lot of big players and there was some superstar teams. This time around, I think that the pool is a bit more constrained and that balance is going to be hard to find. Lots of very good choices on the board, some very hard choices as well. I ended up on the 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers. Sitemailing Next.

Thanks for having me y'all!

good pick PReeves22. The 49 Dodgers were my second choice. In my opinion, the top 4 teams are now off the board. This division is going to be tough.

Three teams that I can't decide between. After a dozen changed decisions, I'm going with the

1979 Los Angeles Dodgers

good job keeping the draft going guys and sneaky good pick beernoser. If you have trouble making your draft slot, site mail me a couple of choices and I'll be your proxy.

I am here!

I am picking the ‘39 Yankees.

1949 St. Louis Cardinals

I last heard from BeAll at 4pm Thursday, site mails since are not opened. Others can pick when their windows open. If anyone has other ways to contact BeAll, please use them.

1959 New York Yankees

Probably the worst NYY team of their 30+ year dynasty period, but seem to be balanced with a number of hitting and pitching options. Would have been a great 4th round pick and may have still been available. What the hey!

They probably would not have made it to you in the 4th round due to certain non-marquee player....

Drafting the 1979 orioles

I grew up a Senators fan and this was probably the team that converted me to becoming an O's fan for nearly 30 years until the Expos moved to DC. I saw many of game at Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards during this time. Mainly the Ripken area and they were always competitive.

Back to 1979. To this day if I hear "We Are Family" by the Pointer Sisters I change the channel. To this day I also hope Omar Moreno's wife choked on that damn whistle she kept tooting on throughout the series (well, not really). O's were up 3-1 and then lost 3 straight - brutal. And yes, the Pittsburgh uni's were UGLY!!
