Yep, the draft is going exactly how I envisioned it...

Clearly, drafting early isn't as important as one would think.

I guess we'll see how it shakes out. I think grabbing one of the top 4 pitchers will prove to be an advantage.

1985 Dwight Gooden $12,251,170

via proxy, bigsteve12 selects 1988 Dennis Eckersley, $2,921,414

rtg says 30-45 minutes before he can wrap his head around the fact 84 Sandberg (who he was hoping for in late round 1 or round 2) went first overall

Sorry guys, school buses held me up some.

1985 Orel Hershiser - $9,139,081

welp, guess i'm drafting from the back this round

1980 George Brett $15,440,187

the strategy in these drafts is very interesting. when i drew the #1 pick in Lg6, I went with Petrocelli but actually had 61 Mantle (4th overall) and 61 Cash (14th overall) rated slightly ahead of him. the salary = draft position = division alignment is an awesome way to do these drafts.

How does he do it?

League 1: 1894 Hugh Duffy* falls to footballmm11 with pick 8 in round 1.
League 2: 1911 Ty Cobb*, falls to footballmm11 with pick 13 in round 2
League 3: 1923 Babe Ruth*, falls to footballmm11 with pick 13 in round 1
League 4: 1941 Ted Williams* falls to footballmm11 with pick 4 in round 2
League 5: 1957 Ted Williams falls to footballmm11 with pick 2 in round 2
League 6: Landed the #1 pick and drafted the consensus #1 player, '69 Rico Petrocelli
League 7: 1974 Joe Morgan* falls to footballmm11 with pick 5 in round 1.
League 8: 1980 George Brett* falls to footballmm11 with pick 12 in round 1.

* Most expensive hitter in that draft. ('21 and '23 Ruth are close in salary)

I have a type I guess!

Ok, it wasn’t my original planned strategy for pick 15, but I can’t pass up the opportunity for
1981 Mike Schmidt $11,155,114

I was hoping he’d go and keep me from dropping one more spot.
