Pitching be damned! I can't pass up the chance of having two .400 hitters batting in front of The Babe...

I can jump ahead and give my modern competitors a head start and take Chipper Jones (1995-2012) for my Round 3 pick

NebHusker is the only before me drafting in a remotely close era and Koufax and Chipper cannot be on the same team.

hahaha.

My original idea was to take Hornsby and then two SP. There is a few more very good hitters I could take here like you did that make a ton of sense.

Eddie Cicotte is my pick.

So is the NL going to consist solely of extreme hitting teams and extreme pitching teams?

I guess I can go with only NebHusker before me. I will get my 2nd .400 guy, which seems to be a minimum cover charge.

Billy Hamilton, outfield.

This is the results of a bar chart I created. Based it off using the best season of the first round picks. Except at the ends, most have a 50-year period to start, so these numbers will shrink as picks come in that are 20+ years away from their first pick.

It's about the distribution I thought it would be. I also rounded, so this is not perfect. Like if someone had 1916-1966, They would only go up to 1965, not 1970.

4 of the 6 that have 1885 do not have 50 years to choose from.
3 of the 6 that have 2020 do not have 50 years to choose from.

It will be interesting see how the final 25 years used will change these initial 50 year ranges.
This is updated through pick 3.02. Many teams, of course, lost 5-10 years off their 50 year range in Round 2. One team lost 20 years. Not that this means a whole lot...

Anyone else notice that 20ks has been particularly uncooperative with his last two picks? Same goes for cholatse with his last pick.
