MLB Draft Round 16 Last Round

- Start date
Was reading about Bunning last night, thinking it was crazy that he had stayed available this long. Most Ks of any pitcher below 3000. But then you sneak Juan Gonzalez in with him. Two MVPs and two HR titles. Impressive selections this late.
As for Bunning's impressive work? He earned an All-Star for each of his children . . . nine of them!
Hey man, did you know you’re OTC. I know you said you aren’t getting notifications.
You were notified at 12:38 pm eastern time. CB3 was put on the clock, maybe a little before your 4 hours was up, not sure. But by then it had already been more than 4 hours since the previous pick. Either way, CB3 is on the clock, he hasn't picked yet, and you can make a pick at any time.
Dammit, I hate holding these things up. It isn't Friday, how'd it get back to me? At any rate, I can use a quality reserve in the outfield. I'll take a hall of famer with a .308ba and a great arm. But that isn't what sealed the deal. Ball control coming off the bat. This guy was something. He could even reach out and touch his friends. Richie Ashburn
During a game on August 17, 1957, Ashburn hit a foul ball into the stands that struck spectator Alice Roth, wife of Philadelphia Bulletin sports editor Earl Roth, breaking her nose. When play resumed Ashburn fouled off another ball that struck her while she was being carried off in a stretcher.[4] Ashburn and Mrs. Roth maintained a friendship for many years, and the Roths' son later served as a Phillies batboy.
It isn't a perfect system. Best to just pop in now and again, be mindful of when your 4 hour window might occur. But could be difficult for persons working in a production facility, night shift, day sleepers, etc.
Interesting and good pick. Just the sort of selection that makes this fun. Gonna have to read up on him.
@CB3UK is on the clock until a few minutes past 8pm eastern.
Yep. I usually check every few minutes regardless. But, I’m not in a place that I have to worry about being online & I know it can be tough for a lot of ppl. Especially weekday afternoons. I just don’t know why I get some alerts & not others. Lol
How the hell has not a single person drafted Vada Pinson yet? Im astonished. Probably a top 20 all time OFer, and absolute Cincinnati Reds legend. Dont mind if I do boys!
I think @JHannibalSmith is up. Lets go with that.

One of the best RFs & pure hitters in baseball history will fit in very nicely on my roster as a platooning/reserve LH bat. In 16 full seasons the HOFer had 200+ hits 8 times, hit at least .300 14 times with 3 batting titles & had 3 seasons hitting at least .370. He finished with 3152 hits & won the NL MVP in 1927. He wasn’t a power hitter but was a wizard with the bat & averaged nearly 3 BB per every K. He had a career slash of .333/.404/.473/.878 & averaged 200 hits, 103 runs, 38 2B, 12 3B, 7 HR & 83 RBI/162 game season. I’ll take Pirate legend, “Big Poison” Paul Waner.

Recent HOF'er. Didn't look to see if he's your starting catcher or if he's a back up for you, but he also played 1B, a few games at 3B and OF. Switch hitter. Bill James says he was underrated as a catcher and was actually above average defensive player early in his career.
I read some similar things- pretty good power that hit over .300 in 7 different seasons.
Okay, well . . . apologies for skipping over @csrupp . . . seems like there's been a plus amount of hoping over today.
However, I have been looking forward to selecting this superb center fielder, to recognize his outstanding career which I enjoyed following all the years, and to pay tribute to this player who I believe is truly the best all-around major leaguer to come out of Kentucky.
A member of possibly the most exclusive statistical club in MLB: 300 HRs / 300 stolen bases. A player who made a ridiculous number of difficult catches look easy, he avoided the highlight reel this way more than made it. 5 times a gold gloves, the last earned at the age of . . . 39. That's correct, a 39 year-old gold glove center fielder. Also the only player in MLB history to lead the league in triples past the age of 40. Truly, a great athlete. The first player to hit a major league home run in Mexico. A world series champion. It is said the Astro's made a mistake trading Lofton because they had this guy. A mistake only because the Astro's did not keep him. Be proud he learned to play this game in the Commonwealth, in the Jackson Purchase. A Paducah Tilghmam Blue Tornado. Steve Finley
@podgejeff_
@podgejeff_ look likes you get 30 min before Dead period and until Noon tomorrow. However if you want to pick earlier that would be great 
For my fourth pitcher, I will be taking a current guy who is an absolute monster. 2 Cy Youngs, two more top 3 vote finishes for Cy Youngs. A larger, power pitcher with an absolutely devastating sinker and breaking ball that resembles both a curve and a slider. In a 6 year span of full time starting he's averaged a monstrous 227 strikeouts a year, some years pushing 300. A career 3.16 ERA, also known for his high win totals and league leading durability.
I'll take Corey Kluber.

Was so happy to see him get out of Cleveland. Although he had been in some great teams. They worked him hard. Not that it was gonna be much easier in Arlington. But pitching in the new indoor park was (is eventually) gonna be a big plus for him. Great arm. Awesome competitor.
Way to go young . . . quietly. 24 year old MLB rock star. Hit for the cycle after he had been in the league for, what, 3 months? Dude has put on show after show. Might hold the record for the most pressure put on a hitter at the youngest age in a world series.
always remember to say "you're it" when playing tag !! @UKNorse
For my player-manager..... yes he actually played and was an MVP, gold glove winner and voted to 9 all star games.
A guy who will help keep my rosters egos in check... Give me Joe Torre my starting catcher.
@Cowtown Cat you are up

Well ****. I searched for him from the site. I didn’t see this thread pop up. Anyway, I’ll make another pick.
It’s just a simple oversight of course, but that’sa pretty funny one.
Is Ty Cobb still out there?

Well, Gehringer was in the upteenth round, so you never know.It’s just a simple oversight of course, but that’sa pretty funny one.
