This was a really fun draft! Good pace the whole time and everyone knows what they are doing and had a plan. Hopefully this is one of those groups of death where everyone is in contention for division and wild card.

Biggest regret was assuming Edd Roush was not on the radar yet when I left him. My team has a lot of speed and defense and very little power in the Astrodome. Roush is probably the best fit out there for what I was trying to do, but I think I still executed pretty well.

Yeah I agree. Fun draft with good quality picks all around.

I think we have our work cut out for us, though. I see some of the other drafts running into salary issues. I'm around $126M.

OK most of the guys I thought I could get here are gone, but I found some gems I think.

Pid Purdy - I filtered down the half dozen guys out there who have a .340 AVG# and .400 OBP# and under 100 PA. They are all great options so I decided to check if anyone can hit triples since Astrodome kills everything but happens to be +1 in triples. Pid Purdy is a 5 3B#. I don't think I have seen that, although I never search for triples, but grasping for anything exciting right now.

Tracey Jones
Carroll Hardy (Cheapest useful guy I could find to get me to the cap)

Ended up at $139,999,414 so I did something well at least.

I recently used Pid Purdy for the first time in a league that just ended


picks incoming…

Almost took Purdy! Good pick.

Dang though, impressive you got there on salary. Wondering if my mistakes here were larger than I think...

Sorry I pressed enter before I was finalized. Gimme a few minutes. Purdy and Jones are staying but I had more money than I thought for last guy

Tracey Jones
Woody Williams

Ended up at $139,967,555 so I did something well at least.

Woody Williams

in case Johnny Bench is a huge bust, I’ll get a lefty HR/OPS catcher: Ed Bailey

Cleveland Stadium

.325/.403/.587 | 375 HRs over 6906 PA
Depending on which Dave Smith I use: 1506 or 1557 IP, .206 OAV, 1.05 WHIP, 0.34 HR/9 regardless

138.2 or 139.2 Mil depends again on Dave Smith

****. Sorry this is my fault. If you really want Williams, I will change mine because I screwed up and hit enter

Oh shoot

That was by accident

Mind changing Bailey too?

I’m in class right now, ozo and jbohr, what do y’all want to do?

I am fine waiting, whatever others want is fine

Tracy Jones is good, however I chose Woody bc he can play 3rd and I currently have a D fielding 3B in Tony Perez. I’d prefer Woody
