As a matter of fact I am, I've seen them live twice, front row once and 10th row a second time, but that was in the very late 80's early 90's.

Well, you guys picked through the top prospects pretty good; I didn't know who to go with so why not take a player I've actually seen? :)

You think the prospects are picked over in this league, you ought to see the rosters in HCKL, good luck finding anyone in the top 75 on Keith Law's or Baseball America's top100 list. WAY to many prospects off the board in that league, so much so I usually trade away my prospect picks cause it's easier than doing the research.

It seems to always be a crap shoot.
I can't count the number of next Mickey Mantles that have graced AAA with their presence.

Look at Pujols he was a low low low round draft choice and he had one of the best 11 or 12 year runs in history.

As a Blue Bleeder I have to chime in here, Piazza was a 62nd round pick, and only then as a favor to his godfather Tommy Lasorda. If not for that, he would have gone undrafted

Not sure how I got it halved, but thanks for correcting me, but it only furthers our point. ;)
