When I was a kid, I used to go to Southern California to visit my dad and step-mom for a month every summer. My step-mom was a high school teacher. She had a former student who went on to become a MLB pitcher. One year, we got invited to his house and I got to meet this pitcher. Of course, I was too young to remember anything about the visit. It turned out that he was a pretty darn good pitcher. He also is the recipient of one of Chris Berman's all-time best nicknames. In 1984, he finished 3rd in AL Cy Young voting, behind two relievers (W.Hernandez, Quisenberry).

1984 Bert "Be Home" Blyleven, $6,954,608

Sorry, no good stories involving my other pick. Like my Keith Hernandez selection, I was eyeing '84 Moseby for the A++ range, but the '83 version is a better hitter.

1983 Lloyd Moseby, $6,181,628
In 1978 I caught a HR ball in the bleachers (Busch Stadium) and when I was walking out very late I ran into Bert. I asked him "Hey dude" would you sign the ball for me.
He signed it Bert " Dude" Blyleven.........I still have that ball.

I think njbigwig has too many pitchers. He needs to re-pick. The draft can continue, but if somebody wants Dibble or Garrelts, then you'll have to wait until he re-picks.

njbigwig says he is keeping Dibble and will replace Garrelts.

Guys, sorry for my miscount. It was 3 AM when I left Schwarze my proxy and I had to take my son horseback riding early this morning and I didn't want to hold things up.

My repick: 1982 John Stearns $3,886,208 Cumulative $121,434,363

The Sterns salary is higher than the player being replaced just to assure that I wasn't trying to jockey into any particular division. Sorry again for my error, it was late, and I was exhausted.
