How about a real live draft?!?!

Have you seen Pujols similarity scores. Number 1 overall and by age is Joe Dimaggio.

Doc, I fully expected you to take him before that.

Got who I wanted, thanks to everyone, don't really understand why so many people like Alou, and Valentine, but that's ok with me, I like Furillo.

Also this could get very slow with 5 minute proxies. I went in and made my pick before arkinal and his proxy went off, so more people might want to try that.[b:4bf50059e5][/b:4bf50059e5]

Hey, our first scrub just got picked. Mr Fosse wins the prize. :)

stephen: furillo is great. i picked alou to play in LF (and have versitility to move to him to CF and RF if need be....). With Furillo, I could not play him at LF. If I had to pick a RF, however, I agree--I'd go with Furillo over Valentine and Alou...

I was going to take Pesky, but thought I would take a chance on his being there with my next pick. Oh well.

[doc x]

Well Modmark, you got me back with that Rice pick. :( :wink:

Interesting, comparing Joe D. to Pujols. You can argue until the cows come home about players in different eras, and the benefits they derived from the time they played, dead ball era, not integrated, expansion, smaller parks, better conditioning, etc. IMO, the good and great players would be good and great WHENEVER they played.

I was sweating, docX. The way this draft has gone, I didn't expect him to fall to me. Whew!
