I'll take the Giants.
Protecting Carl Hubbell and Juan Marichal.
Stealing Pete Rose, Ernie Lombardi and Ted Abernathy.
Thanks for leaving me Klu, Walters & Vandy -thats who I would have taken & without those 2 SP, I thought I needed Chandler? Now Spud is a... Luxury, thanks!

You did NOT protect Willie Mays... WOW?!
Not that I feel the need to justify my picks, but I took the Giants because my starting pitching should help make this team very competitive. In my view, all of my starters are better than Walters and Vander Meer, so I would have had no real role for either of them. My 1B is better than Klu, so I didn't need him either. I had plenty of quality OFs to choose from, so the two starters I protected seemed to be more valuable to me than Mays. After reading your second guesses... WOW?!

Still no Cubs, Red Sox, Indians, A's, Phillies, Braves, Orioles or Twins

In with the Indians.

Keeping a Louie Louie (Tiant and Boudreau). Oh no, they gotta (not) go.

Stealing first the Hanks (Aguirre and Greenberg), for as a Williams once said, when the Lord made them, he made them ramblin' men. And also taking Rudy York from the embarrassment of Tigers catching riches. We shall call him "New York".

Update:
Taking from the Indians P Ray Narleski, OF Earl Averill , Larry Doby

I'd like to sign up with the Red Sox. Protecting Ted Williams and Tex Hughson. I'll post my steals after the team in front of me posts his. I don't want to give him an edge by posting them now.

Ouch - Hearn really hurt.

Speaking of hurt danidon, was not at all expecting to see both my LH outfielders get taken while the entire vaunted '48 Indians rotation remained intact. Did not like the Giants picking behind me. Good picks.
