BACK TO THE 70s PRE-CARD DRAFT AND CHAT

[rutkap]

Why dont we stop after 2 more rounds? I think that would be a fair move. We should be able to get 2 more rounds in by the end of the week. Does everyone have a few proxies, I doubt that there will be much more poaching of other players.


by the way look at these beauties....

C Bench
1B Garvey
2B Johnson
SS - yo momma
3B Brett
RF Clemente
CF Cedeno
LF Burroughs

SP John, J. Perry, Eckersley
RP Gossage, Marshall

My starters scare nobody but the D is obscene.(burroughs is the only one without a Gold Glove - Brett is the only other guy without multiples) Jim Perry was a mistake (unless they give me his 68 or 69 season - which is clearly what I am hoping for) but other than that i like where I am at.

I'd say we keep going but if it's not unanimous (and it isn't already) we should probably stop. If we go on I won't have any proxies so just skip me right away and I'll catch up.

Clemente is a nice pick, but I wonder if he will even be in the game. I know Strat is reaching into the '60s and '80s for players, but Clemente only had the three seasons in the '70s.
Could be a great pick or ....

I'm going through draft withdrawal ... have we decided to stop? I was looking forward to the no-names that we were going to come up with. I had no idea who Jim Brewer was!!

Did you know that the MLB logo of the head and shoulders of a hitter at the plate is Killebrew's image?[/quote:8332758b08]

I had read this in the Bill James Historical Abstract. Obvioously, the killer didn't have to many good 70s seasons, so I'm hoping 68 and 69 are two of the five seasons.

Here's where I'm at now:

C - Porter
1B - Carew
2B - Randolph (not as daring as Rigged to play Carew here :P )
3B - Hebner
SS - ?
LF - ?
CF - Maddox
RF - Parker
DH - Carty

SP - Guidry (PLEASE give him a card!)
SP - Blue
SP - McNally
SP - Cuellar

RP - Tekulve

Happy with my overall team. Missed out on the run of SS and will probably have to settle for a cheapie out there. Not too concerned about LF as there will likely be someone decent there that we all missed. Decided to go with an all LH rotation, despite not being particularly LH power heavy in my lineup. Could backfire...or could be a stroke of genius :D

BTW, I'd prefer we keep drafting for a couple more rounds. I think we all have positions to fill and since this is a $100 mil league, I don't think many of us will be in danger of going over the cap. Might as well. It beats sitting around waiting for the game to be released.

Like I said before, I am happy to keep going. If we do, I propose we eliminate the pick clock however.

Also, If we do carry on, I want to stop the draft [b:a73cbf0287]as soon as the game comes out[/b:a73cbf0287].

But I can stop here as well. Should we have a vote?
