BNL #9 Draft - Keep the line moving! Topic

Memorial Stadium
Baltimore, MD
Baltimore Orioles
1954-1991

Chose this stadium as my choice and the Dagger

The Pitching as A Dagger is out of the question with 8 usable SP over 200 IP ..

On Offense there are 5 or 6 or more at each position with cheap players

So it was a choice between what I could see was there slightly best starting pitcher

1979 Mike Flanagan Baltimore Orioles Salary: $7,016,652

And their highest salary Offensive player and by far best 2B

1959 Charlie Neal Los Angeles Dodgers Position: 2B Salary: $6,314,356

claytonengel advance to the next Dagger with Instead none other than

1959 Don Drysdale Los Angeles Dodgers Salary: $7,445,74

I cannot believe they have not been taken
(not sure if that was humor or not :)

1979 Kansas City Royals

Had them typed in… then remembered being told that if you have a chance to roster ruth… you roster ruth.

calhoop, you can throw dagger #2 at my 1939 Philly Athletics. I should protect the Senators now that jbar8888 is done with them!

dagger for whalers10

You have 1979 Boston Red Sox, 1979 SF Giants, 1979 Atlanta Braves and 1969 Detroit Tigers


Position by position overview:

C - On the surface, there isn't much here. Only one option, which does look like a serious candidate, but you can maneuver around to fill any voids this may create but I need to move on.

1b - Lots of options for you here. Next

2b - Several well-balanced options. All have PA/162 in the range of 213-362 and nobody all that good. No help from me sorting this puzzle.

3b - Too many options here to really have any impact

SS - One really good option for this league and a lot of weak options otherwise. Definitely worth serious consideration. Feels like this option may be so obvious that I should stop the search here but I may as well turn over the rest of the rocks.

OF - Gotta love 1979 Fred Lynn but he is over $9.3mm. Given how cheap some of your options are going to have to be, you may just fit him in. Too many other outfielders to really think about.

SP - Your collective starting pitching staff is pretty miserable. Only 6 guys over 200 IP/162. One is decent (325 IP and an ERC# of 271 and workable pricing, which translates to pretty good in this league. All the other 200+ IP guys have ERC# over 3.

RP - A couple of nice options but nobody worth daggering.

So who will it be? The good SS or the best SP??

Going to go with 1969 Denny McLain of the Tigers as your daggered player.

Stadiums: Looking at Fenway, Candlestick, Atlanta Fulton County or Tiger.

Candlestick Park is the only pitchers park so it is daggered, as well

was praying that ONE of the teams that I had on my list made it through...and they did.

Go ahead and give me the 1959 Pittsburgh Pirates. Needed to add some Yinzer to my team.

Calhoop, your first dagger will be Frankie Frisch from the Cardinals, as you have no cheap backups, and Frisch is the only 2nd basemen able to play another position. You have good pitchers and some good home run hitters. Sportsman's Park gives you left handed home run power. Redlands Park also gives you +1 HR to boths sides so I will dagger Yankees Stadium.

Vilefileman, for my second dagger you may strike at the 69 Indians. We’ve already lost the only good player they had.

jbar8888.

Offering you the 1979 Texas Rangers for my second dagger.

second dagger for ermocito

You offered the 1939 Philadelphia Athletics for your second dagger selection.

Obviously not worth looking at pitching.

I looked pretty thoroughly to see if I could create any salary chaos for you but I always found a way for you to potentially minimize any damage.

Therefore, I will dagger your best player, 1939 Bob Johnson

Eman7400- I offer up the 1949 St. Louis Browns for my 2nd dagger
8/7/2024 4:43 AM
I'll take the 1949 NY Giants as my 4th team...
