MLB Draft Round 16 Last Round
- Thread starter DraftCat
- Start date
I’m gonna go with a guy who was one of the best sluggers of the steroid era but is not personally connected to using. He’s one of 10 players with 8 consecutive seasons of at least 30 HR & 100 RBI & the only player with at least 50 HR & 50 2B in the same season. He only played 10 full seasons & had to retire at 34 due to a degenerative hip but was amazingly productive in that time. His 162 game averages are .295 BA, 182 hits, 41 2B, 40 HR, 130 RBI, 103 runs scored & a .933 career OPS. He led the AL in total bases 3 times & was robbed of the ‘95 MVP bc he hated the media & it probably cost him more than just that one. I’ll take Albert Belle.

Ozzie Smith would be Simmons' back-up, plain and simple. Love Ozzie. But real is real.
For those who earlier wanted to gripe about players who got cheated out of an MVP, this is the guy to gripe about.
Man, I LOVED those 90s Indians teams! What a club! Loaded, from top to bottom.
Maybe his offense would make that happen, but I replied to your statement on defense.
Man, you ain’t kidding. I had to look them up to remind myself. Belle, Manny Ramirez, Omar Visquel, Kenny Lofton, and even Eddie Murray at the end of his career. I loved 90’s baseball.
Me, too, brother. The Indians and the Reds were my teams. They still are actually.
Have you seen the documentary on MLBN about the 90s Indians? It’s worth the watch if you haven’t. I think it originally aired in 2017. Any time I think of those teams my first thought is Albert Belle nearly decapitating Fernando Vina with an elbow while breaking up a DP between 1st & 2nd. Lol. That’s one of the better offensive lineups we’ll ever see. I’m in no way an Indians fan but man, that team was fun to watch.
Yeah, dude . . . I read it . . . it began "I am not in this contest" and then you immediately offered a variety of contesting remarks to put yourself in it. Always an amusing disclaimer when someone says I'm not involved so do not challenge my involvement. lol !
Are potential voters allowed in the thread? If so, I will opine as I see fit. If not, Ill back out.
You’re welcome here as long as you vote for my team, Bernie!
Wildcard action out of left field lmao!
Alright let me see....who shall I bestow the honor of joining the Bad News Bears upon.....

I was thinking about taking him with my next pick. He was a good one.Ill take Mike Mussina as my 3rd starting pitcher

That’s what I was thinking. I’m ready to make some picks, dammit! I don’t wanna hear any smartassery about that, either!
I know!! I’ve got my 2 picks locked and loaded and I’m itchin’ to make ‘em!That’s what I was thinking. I’m ready to make some picks, dammit! I don’t wanna hear any smartassery about that, either!
I was shocked when i logged on this morning and hadnt been tagged. I was expecting to be the guy holding things up
It's an all in, all hands on deck free for all as will ever matter to me, bro. But it you tee up free amusement that'll be on you.
Best pitching performance I've ever seen in person. Mussina pitching for Baltimore at Fenway. Mid 90s. He was putting the screws to the Sox while me and an old friend from Ft. Bragg put away beers with the locals on the mezzanine (standing room above home plate). Got hammered. Canseco won it for the Sox, walk-off homer extra innings.Ill take Mike Mussina as my 3rd starting pitcher

I've been sick a couple days now. Even for you I cant manage any smartassery. I do appreciate the word though.That’s what I was thinking. I’m ready to make some picks, dammit! I don’t wanna hear any smartassery about that, either!
I'll take Arky Vaughn. I think that has @jcrow10 up.
I learned that word from my wife. I’ve also learned the words: dumbassery and ****ery from her as well.
Yeah, I think she's taught all of us a thing or two. Da ba bing, that's all I got right now.I learned that word from my wife. I’ve also learned the words: dumbassery and ****ery from her as well.
Standing right behind you huh?Well, I mean, she is very intelligent.
LOL Nah, she’s in the shower. Seriously, she’s extremely intelligent, though. She’s as smart as she is hot, if not even more so.
EDIT: Damn, is someone gonna make a pick?!
Killing me, lol. I haven’t gotten to make 2 picks in one day yet in this draft. Maybe tomorrow.
I think it’s my turn, so I will go ahead and pick. Give me a guy who was not even on my radar until a few minutes ago when I stumbled onto his stats. In his prime, he was averaging 180+ hits, 20+ SB, batting average in the high 200s-low 300s, in addition to winning 4 Gold Gloves and an MVP. Dustin Pedroia.
@quest4#9 on the clock and @jcrow10 still has to pick
