Hey Al, didn't you hear, we are starting in '83 now rather than '81. :wink:
I had 10 out of the top 12, thought the Mets were one of the two that I didn't have. That's a bummer, I was hoping a couple would slip down to me at pick 23. :roll:
BC, sounds like we had a similar rating scheme. 10 out of 12 and in my original work up I also had the Cards #2, I then made some revisions and had the 7-8 instead.
The Mets could be a steal at #11, not as much continuity, but a lot of goo dplayers pass through during the decade.

I was hoping the Cards would be around when I picked....and wouldn't you know it, they get snatched up a pick before mine. They've got some nice pitching depth throughout the decade and great players to ofit their park. Oh well.
I went with Pitt mainly because of the number of leftovers from the "We Are Family" team in the late 70's (Where's Pops Stargell in this game? :wink:). Not only those guys, but Pena, Perez and later, Van Slyke, Drabek and Bonilla made it a very solid team throughout, IMO.
And the Mets, well....I thought most of their talent (and they have a LOT of talent) wouldn't arrive until mid-late decade, but when I realized Scott would be included in '81-82, that was all the incentive I needed.
Still a couple of very decent teams out there.
BTW, I will have loads of catching depth between Pena, LaValliere, Carter and Stearns. Will likely be looking to swap one for a SS.

The Mets are an even bigger steal at #13.
I refrained from picking the Cards, because I often end up with pitching, defense, speed teams. While I like this type of team I didn't want to be bound to this style, which taking the Cards earlier would have done. Crossing can still get a good enough team with his second pick to put any kind of team together.
As I said earlier, the 2-12 teams are almost interchangeable (and there's one left). The top 6 in the second round should all be decent, too. Unfortunately I've got the 7th pick this rounds, so I'm counting on some team being overlooked.

Oh man, for a second my heart stopped beating. Hak, if you hadn't put that :wink: at the end of your quote I probably would've dropped dead on the spot. You don't know how much I agonized over that pick :x :wink:

I'm finding myself waiting with great anticipation for each pick. I just imagine being crossing and the choices I would make to complement the Cards. Some nice possibilities.

[quote:0e4732ce1c="jsamia"]I am heading on the road in about 15 minutes...should be back on about 6 or so. I was hoping to make my pick before I headed out. I will check again shortly...[/quote:0e4732ce1c]
As jab suggested why don't you PM someone with your #1 and #2 choices. I'll be around all afternoon if you want to send them to me.
