Whitehill $5.8 million
Drabowsky $1.4 million
McDaniel $1.5 million
Zachary $1.5 million (got me Walter Johnson)
Carlton $0.3 million
Orosco $0.4 million

My team has an effective salary of $106 million. Strong on pitching, mediocre hitting.

As far as players off the team, '28 Goose Goslin (.368, .435, .607 and my last cut, but went with '18 Ruth and '03 Rivera instead). '28 Braxton (a shame), '62 F.Robinson (.342 avg, .600+ slug, but way too expensive, '61 Boyer who's probably better than Boggs I am keeping)

I wish I could stop there but I do need these guys to play roles in the bullpen and contribute innings:

'23 Whitehill (35ip 1.12whip), '70 Drabowsky (36ip 1.12whip), '64 Carlton (64ip 1.31 whip), '98 Orosco (57ip 1.31whip). With those included my pitching totals become:

Overall Total 1481 1.96 .204 0.97 0.38

Wasted salary
Sheckard $4.4 million (but got me 09 Brown & 09 Overall)
Turner $2.0 million (but got me 1904 Lajoie)
Morgan $3.2 million (but got me '80 Richard)
Lamp $1.3 million
Zachary $1.0 million


Teammates who were in the mix at some point and now upset at failing to make the final cut include: 62 Koufax, 04 Joss, 23 Bassler, 24 Traynor, & 66 Mays
My team has an effective salary of $105-108 million depending on much the bench players end up contributing. Some decent hitting and some decent pitching mixed with some worries.

Another impossibly tough and entertaining drafting process. G/l everyone
5/12/2010 4:18 PM
"Good luck" says the only guy who doesn't have Whitehill on his "wasted salary" list...jerk :P.

Though both Zachary and Whitehill's eyes lit up when they found out they would be calling Comerica home.

Thanks schwarze for another impeccably run draft.
5/12/2010 4:42 PM
Thanks. And thanks to all those who submitted proxies to keep things moving smoothly.

I don't really have any wasted salary, since Zachary and Whitehill made my rotation *gulp*

It was either '88 Clemens, '72 Allen and '75 Simmons or '23 Ruth, '32 Hayworth and Whitehill in the rotation. I'm not too worried about the catching dropoff, as I got better defensively, but it all comes down to whether or not Ruth's production will offset the drop from '88 Clemens to '32 Whitehill. Here's hoping.

In order to maximize on my team's 100+ triples, shoddy rotation and low HR totals, we're calling Comerica home and hoping for the best. I think this can work, but time will tell.

I drafted '75 Davis just for Simmons and '15 Speaker for pitching Ruth, and neither made the team.
5/12/2010 5:26 PM
That's a hell of an offense.
5/12/2010 5:32 PM
I've got my 25 guys and a $133.5 Million Salary. Is that close enough?
