sorry just saw this, no need to sitemail, i'll pick shortly

1962

Catching up. Will pick in the next 60-90 minutes.

1996 will allow me to finish the Giants draft by cloning Barry Bonds.

I'm a bit surprised that 1989 wasn't drafted. I know that the Giants have had a lot of talent historically, but that Garrelts can get people out, that Will Clark is solid, and that Kevin Mitchell is one of the few righthanded power hitters in the sim that consistently produces for me. If I had known they'd be available in the final round I probably would've drafted pretty differently.

agreed, barracuda3, i considered them and would have taken them had I needed two hitting spots but i only needed one so went with a Mays season

I briefly considered them. I already had 1700+ decent-to-good innings rostered, and had two 1B and four OFs. My OF defense is pretty substandard (D/B-, D/C, C-/B+, C/C-). I also needed to upgrade at 3B (so I wouldn't have to start Buck Herzog's .327 obp). 1957 gave me Red Schoendienst (Frisch moving to 3B) and a stud Willie Mays season, who is not as HR-dependent as most of his other seasons (35 HRs, w/ slash of .333, .407, .626 C+/A+).

But you are right, 1989 is certainly draft worthy and in retrospect, many would've drafted differently had they known 1989 would still be available with their last pick.
