Oddly, Don McMahon (57). I have had him on 60% (conservatively) of my teams going back to ATG III V2. You can't beat him for the value and he can fill any relief role and give you a ton of innings if need be. He also does well in any cap. He rarely disappoints.

I take A.Vaughn almost every chance I can get.....I have no idea what is lack of defense is doing to me but his stats are fantastic.

....on the cheaper side for $80 and $60 mil leagues, K.Phelps rocks for me.

I Just have to smile because of the Seinfeld episode when Steinbrenner thinks George is dead. He visits George's dad to tell him the news and George's dad only cares that Steinbrenner traded Jay Buhner for Phelps.

Frank: Jay Buhner! How could you trade Jay Buhner! 20 to 25 homeruns. Rocket for an arm in right field!

Steinbrenner: Ken Phelps! My baseball people kept saying get Ken Phelps!

Good stuff.

Overall great show-- but one of the few funny lines in the series finale; Steinbrenner in court on the witness stand- Frank Costanza gets up and starts yelling at him about signing Hideki Irabu :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's right. I forgot about that outburst.

I would have to put Dykstra (the Phillies,5.18 mil?) up there. Will play 162, be around .400 OBP, get on base just about as well with lefties and righties, give you pop against righties in the right park, score usually at least 140 runs, play decent defense in center . . . Great lead off guy with speed to boot.

If he had "N" power against lefties, he'd be a no brainer for me every draft.

Harry Heilman he's always blistered the ball for me, he's never hit less than .300 for me in any cap.

Eric Aybar...fills my #2 slot (or #8 in a hitting team)...steady defence, good speed....sits on every one of my draft cards, and if I don't get him, then have to roll the roster pretty much over
