Boggs would be the guy I'd want too. You can't use any of the 2B/SS guys and I hate to take a corner OF (Gwynn/Ducky) in a league where they should be plentiful. That gives you a hell of a lineup and you can figure out the pitching without having to spend many picks on offense.

Cal Rip Jr is one of the most overrated players of all time in any sport.

Chuck Norris is

Yeah, but Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.  Can you?  And when Chuck Norris does pushups, he doesn't really push up -- he pushes the world down. 

I mean, HELLO?

An update of the draft in progress - no surprises so far.  Now that the top shelf has been cleared off it becomes more difficult.

ROUND ONE
1- sheller (mattsmaulers) - Wade Boggs 1b
2- ruperts - Cal Ripken ss
3- richabbs (mattsmaulers/sheller) - Arky Vaughan ss
4- AKlopp - Joe Medwick of
5- calhoop - Tony Gwynn of

Monday, Nov 14
6- urlglory - Ryne Sandberg 3b
7- gorbyruss (mattsmaulers/richabbs) - Dizzy Dean p

TP is still a really nice pick.  I have him in a single-season prog, we haven't even hit his prime yet and I already love the guy.  Really nice leadoff or #2 hitter and gives some flexibility.  Of course, the flipside is that there are several forced moves throughout his career that makes him a little tougher to build around than a guy with a more set position.  I would love Chili Davis in a prog with a DH, but without it you lose half his career.

I'm pretty sure Phillips will go in the first round, but I think he's a 13-24 pick.  He's more a super-utility type player for most of his career than someone you can plug in at a position for a decade.  No DH in the league and yeah, that really is going to hurt Chili's chances.  Most of his best offensive seasons are those where he's either a D-/D- outfielder or isn't even rated at a position.
