Figured that out...

1895 Bill Lange
1896 Jack Clements
1941 Cecil Travis

A lot of cookies left on the table. Maybe something to do with most of this draft happening during Passover

Thanks, ejstockman, for running this.

I was gonna take Lange before I decided I needed a Babe on my team...

For the last three picks of this draft, I will select...

1995 Edgar Martinez - I don't need a DH, but I cannot resist this Hall of Famer whose magical moment was one of the highlights of my sporting life.
1998 Bernie Williams - Great defensive replacement, OF fill-in, and pinch runner.
2014 Joaquin Benoit - Who can't use a closer-quality reliever as your #12 pitcher?

And since I have the floor, here are 20 ALL-TIME GREATS who were shockingly not drafted. All (but one) are in the Hall of Fame...

Yogi Berra
Steve Carlton
Roberto Clemente
Bob Feller
Whitey Ford
Hank Greenberg
Ken Griffey, Jr.
Lefty Grove
Reggie Jackson
Al Kaline
Ralph Kiner
Johnny Mize
Jim Palmer
Gaylord Perry
Brooks Robinson
Pete Rose
Nolan Ryan
Tom Seaver
Duke Snider
Carl Yastrzemski

Wow, great list nordawg!

See ya'll inside!

Thanks for running the draft, EJ. Great job man

My pleasure. It was a blast. Not sure I could do it when the world gets back to normal but we'll see. Now that the teams are picked, a few comments and observations. I have 1750 innings. Thought that would be enough. Maybe not but we will see. I am not as much a numbers guy as some here, but we all have incredible OBP (.431 for me), AVG (.359) but varying degrees of SLG (.534). Interesting to see how that plays out. Likewise, WHIP (.89) and OAV (.188) but the HR numbers may vary as well (.19). I saw this as a much more HR and SLG driven draft than the Dead Ball doubles and triples teams that I like to play.

Also, can all the seasons of Babes or Rogers really be that great? Even though some of those years are monsters, I doubt every iteration will slug .600 - .800 in this league. Still, worried that what we will learn is that the monster hitting years of the greats will drown the isolated great pitching years. There are many more Babe and Rogers years that look to be WIS effective than there are Joss, Mathewson or Maddux years.

Right — that's why pitching seemed more important to me. My team WHIP is 0.84, though 0.83 without my last round pick (who will be in a Long B role). Hopefully that + Target Field is enough to combat the OBP + HR power that some of these teams have
