Anyone else come super close to taking Silver King or one of the other huge-innings guys? Thought it might be a decent strategy to only have to worry about one more SP for the entire draft but I chickened out

Note the year restriction. 1901-2016. For the WISC version of this theme, the timeframe was originally all seasons but after I mentioned that Silver King specifically would be a huge advantage, schwarze agreed to change it to 1901-2016 also.

1912 Joe Wood $14,811,770

Well I'm glad I gave it so much thought then! Totally missed that.

Our second pick, from the Oakland A's

Same here. I had my next 3 picks lined up and all were pre-1900. Blah.

I added two new columns to the table on page 1. Total Salary (self explanatory) and Rank (which is a measure of how high your total salary is compared to everyone else's at the point of a certain pick (grouped by the round we're in, of course). Will be interesting to see who has the highest and lowest standard deviation in Rank throughout the draft, and how/if that translates to success in the league.

1972 Don Sutton $11,904,779

1956 Mickey Mantle $14,992,552

1978 Ron Guidry $11,694,785

1986 Mike Scott $11,648,922

1972 Steve Carlton $13,432,325

We will go on the clock on Monday. Whether that's Round 2 or Round 3 will be determined by how far we get tomorrow

1994 Jeff Bagwell $11,307,531
