Any count on the number of first timers this go round? And how many have been in all 4 now?

I appreciate Amerk and Sixer having my back. I didn't delete the post because it is good-natured fun. I promised Southheat I would just make my picks and help with SM'ing on the draft page and I plan on keeping my word on that. I'm certainly not trying to ruin anyone's fun and will gladly roll with the "douchy" moniker here on this page. No need to be filling Amerk's draft thread with any of my silliness. If you find me annoying now, your reward will come when the season starts I assure you.

Heads up to Amerk, Chisock, Specsman, Bigfatjew, and Northof49.
I just sentyou guys my first and second round proxy list. My sleeping
schedule is all mixed up right now. Sleeping from 9:00am till about\
4 or 5pm. So just to be sure not to hold up the draft, I've got it covered.
Thank you, Sixer.

I agree it is fun! And it was douchy. Never wanted you to stop!

I'm looking to trade away my 2nd round pick. Anybody looking to DEAL?

Weird how both Stan Musial and Ted Williams always seem to end up around the final pick of the 1st round. Personally I feel like Williams should always be closer to 15, maybe 20. But then again, based on his #'s IRL, his best season generaly underperforms in this league, so maybe I'm wrong.

The first round is complete and really no surprises. Not saying I disagree with these, but I believe it was the 1st time that both Cy Young and Tris Speaker were taken in the 1st round.

Oh great. Well that's bad news for me!
No matter, learn from my mistakes.

Okay here is my question concerning Amerk's comment
about my first round pick of Ted Williams. Does this mean
I've blown it already? I thought he has everything the sim
likes. High batting avg., and very high obp. Thought's please?
Thank you, Sixer.

No I think amerk is saying that you are getting him at a good deal (in his opinion), but right on track with where he's been drafted the other times this league has run. Nobody has blown it yet.

I've seen his 1941 season under perform in Fulton County stadium (mainly his power) but I've seen him put up some good numbers in other places. These were $255 mil leagues and Clones were used.

Ted has been the best hitter on his team in all three years of this league.

In season 2 he hit .380 (4th in the league) and had an OPS over 1.000. Last year he hit just under .300 with an OPS around .850.

Don't know what you'll get for numbers, but he'll probably be the best hitter on your team too.

In season 2, Cy was taken at pick #11 (which was the only time duece didn't get him)

Currently I'm using his 1941 season in a $255 Clone league and Dodger Stadium is my home park.

After 27 games (small sample size) his line is .292 avg, .422 OBP, .449 SLG with 3 HRs and 17 RBI, his RC27 is 7.07

This is a league where just about every team has rostered Pete Alexander, Walter Johnson, Addie Joss, Maddux, Pedro, Elton etc so hitters are facing the best in every at bat.
