Is closer Francisco Rodriguez available? If so, I will take him.

My bad, give me Hoyt Wilhelm

 

[drcats2013]

@quest4#9 you’re up.

What happened lol? You were in such a hurry and now have stopped showing up

 

[quest4#9]

Haha I’m here. Tougher to keep up when we’re getting through 2 picks a day. I’ll take the last closer to win the cy young. Eric Gagne 55/55 saves with a 1.2 ERA . Lights out if we get to 9th with lead . @hotelblue

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Joe Gordon available? Did not see him on list--- but seems like that would be too good to be true.

He’s all yours, mah bro!

Nice pick man. I was between him & Frankie Frisch & went with Frisch bc I need more LH bats. Gordon gives good power & production at 2B.

I hate you.... gonna sit on updating the rosters lol

 

[drcats2013]

@hotelblue youre still up for 15 minutes or so

 

[hotelblue]

give me lance berkman.

 

[hotelblue]

unexpected travels kept me away sorry.

 

[drcats2013]

To fill my final fielding position, I’m taking a current 3rd baseman. He’s a former MVP, World Series champion, and is fresh off his 3rd all star appearance in his young career. Give me Kris Bryant to complete my lineup

@jrpross the floor is yours

 

[jrpross]

I’ll finish my outfield with a 2-time MVP who finished top 5 two other times. He led the league in homers twice and RBI’s once and was an absolute beast in the 90’s, destined for the HOF before injuries hampered his career in his early 30’s.

Juan Gonzalez

And then I’ll finish my rotation with a hall of famer who was second only to Walter Johnson in career strikeouts when he retired in 1971. He’s one of only 5 guys to pitch a no-hitter in both leagues, and the ONLY hall of famer to get elected to the US Senate (not that that means anything, just interesting)

Jim Bunning

Quick story about Bunning; I actually picked him for a school project in local history when I was maybe 12 years old. He was in the House of Representatives at the time and he actually lived in my little town of Southgate. His phone number was in the book so little 12 year-old me figured I’d give him a call and see if he’d do an interview with me. He wasn’t home so I left a message, never thinking he’d call back but sure enough he was kind enough to do so.

I’ll never forget the slack-jawed look of confusion on my mom’s face when she handed me the phone and said “uhhh Congressman Bunning is on the phone....for YOU.”

@drcats2013 and back on to you sir

Omg what a steal with Juan Gonzalez. A+ pick.

Ok, I need to start my bench off with some speed. I need a pinch runner that is one of the best base stealers of all time. Give me a player that started his career with 3 straight 100+ steal seasons. I’ll take Vince Coleman.
@hotelblue you are back up

I was shocked nobody had picked him. I thought about him last go around but positional needs took precedence. Never dreamed I’d still get him here. His stretch from 96-99 was incredible. I looked up the stats and he AVERAGED 43 homers and 140 RBI those years, hitting between .296 and .326. I mean we’re basically drafting guys in their prime right? That’s a heck of a guy to be left in round 13.

He should have gone in the first 8 rounds. Steal of the draft IMO. Was looking forward to adding him to my bench if no one wanted him for a starter, and then you swooped in lol.

 

[jcrow10]

I'm glad I picked up Campanella at catcher to try and neutralize some baserunners since he has the highest percentage of runners thrown out.

 

[jcrow10]

Gonzalez completely slipped my memory, great pick.

 

[hotelblue]

i need some depth in the outfield. give me an all around player and hof-er...

tim raines

@quest4#9

Another one I was hoping would slip through the cracks.

 

[hotelblue]

he may make me change my lineup. his average is high for a lead off type and his stolen bases are too.

@quest4#9

sigh that was my pick haha. I will take Jake Arrieta 22-6 with a 1.7 ERA and a Cy Young. Now have 4 starters who in their prime can win any game.

 

[quest4#9]

@GoBigBlue712

 

[GoBigBlue712]

Johnny Mize. Decent bat and fielder off the bench.

@jcrow10 on the clock

 

[jcrow10]

I'll take OF Tim Raines.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

I'll take OF Tim Raines.

was just picked

 

[DraftCat]

You guys really picked it up... most updates I've had to do at once in a hot minute.

 

[jrpross]

Hey can I take Tim Raines too?

 

[jcrow10]

My bad on the last pick, at work and was just checking the front page before it was updated.

I will take Eric Davis.
