Looking long term with this pick. Brooklyn Dodgers

I thought about the Dodgers long and hard but I am so old I probably won't live long enough to get to the Jackie years let alone the Koufax years

Cincinnati Reds

If we can get through four seasons a calendar year, 1947 is only four years away. Don't know how old you are, but hopefully four years is not too long to hope for !

Chicago Cubs

Detroit Tigers.

I actually almost took Detroit with #2. The Hebrew Hammer! 1935 World Series champs! Al Kaline! Justin Verlander!

But what swayed my decision was the fact that Navin Stadium was +1/+1 HR. And the fact that I had the Detroit franchise in the Back To The Future progressive and had two seasons over .500 in the first 11. There, I switched to the Yankees (long story).

Still surprising they lasted this far, in my opinion.

I was very surprised that both cleveland and detroit lasted as long as they did; I didn’t expect to have either of them as options.
it’s been a very interesting draft.

I was especially surprised that one of the 1934 world series teams, the Tigers, went so late into the draft. And Cleveland is a powerhouse for a long time, maybe best pitching staff through the 50s in history until the 90s Braves.
