Great job running this crazy edition, schwarze.  Yet again.

Just as advertised, this is the "Best Draft Ever"

Good luck and Have Fun everybody.

Thanks..  Can't wait to see what kind of lineups and pitching staffs people put together.

Mopups: $12 million
Should be mopups (ERC# about 3.2) but will actually start about 1/2 my games: $14 million.

Ok, I just dropped the 7 guys who won't play from my draft center. Here's what's left.
Position players: $48.5 million. 5800 PAs, slash line .309/.372/.482; 33.7 AB/hr

Pitchers: $46 million. 1390 IP, oav .225; whip 1.07; Bb/9, 2.21; Hr/9 .29

So I have a pretty weak 95 million dollar team.

I think I can finish with 1899 Collins and 1982 Randolph.

I will take 04 Kenny Lofton $2,432,057 as my last stiff...I mean pick.
10/4/2015 11:54 PM
1976 Gary Carter - $2,697,786

Sure, nobody has picked Stanton behind you yet
This is in fact, incorrect.  dcmatcheck did take Stanton after ozomatli, therefore, his original Stanton (1998) must stand.  2007 is still available.

I really wanted to get 1896 Billy Hamilton ($8M+) on the team and it came down to him or 2007 Mark Teixiera (my Edd Roush can play 1B or OF).  I ultimately decided on Teixiera so I could get 1988  Mike Jackson's 64 innings of 0.88 whip onto the team.

Total salary $94.9 million

Key teammates: 
1908 Christy Mathewson
1981 Dave Righetti
1981 Goose Gossage
1998 Mike Jackson
1918 Carmen Hill

In the effort to avoid wasting salary, I didn't get as many teammate options as I would have liked (particularly in pitching). Missed the 2012 Hudson (with Medlen and Kimbrel) by one pick - thanks dcmatcheck. Was fortunate to get Saito late. As a result, I'll need to hit my way through this version.

After eliminating wasted salary (Uhle, Grant, Randolph, Davis, half of Carter and Lofton, and probably Stanton):

Hitting: 5795 PAs, .328/.404/.484 $57.3
Pitching: 1489 IPs, 1.11 WHIP, 2.48 ERA, .232 OAV, .32 HR/9 $44.6

Total Salary $101.9

Teammates:
1920 Tris Speaker
2001 Jason Giambi
1911 Eddie Collins
1975 Manny Sanguillen
1920 Ray Chapman
1920 Babe Adams
1975 John Candelaria
2006 Takashi Saito
1918 Roy Mitchell

Never thought when I dumped Randolph that I'd end up using 2 of his teammates
