[MrPhoenix]

PM sent to jfranco. I'll be shocked if there's a pick this weekend, though.

 

[oso diablo]

Potential "Hall Of Shame" lineup:

C - Rick Farrell

1B - George Kelly

2B - Bill Mazerroski

SS - Walter James Vincent "Rabbit" Maranville

3B - Travis Jackson

OF - George Davis

OF - Lou Brock

OF - Tommy McCarthy

Bench: Dave Winfield, Phil Rizzuto, Tony Lazzeri, Joe Tinker

Pitchers: Jim Bunning, Red Faber, Phil Neikro, Eppa Rixey, Red Ruffing, Herb Pennock

just for the sake of HOF discussion... haven't looked at their respective WIS stats, but these are my picks:OF: Lloyd Waner - only got in due to halo effect of his deserving older brother and their cool nicknames

OF: agree on McCarthy

OF: wanted to argue for Lou Brock, but i'll pick Freddie Lindstrom instead. I know he played more at 3B, and we can put him there if you want.

SS: Maranville is an easy pick

2B: Maz or Johnny Evers

3B: if not Lindstrom, then George Kell

1B: agree on Kelly, also Frank Chance

C: Ferrell and Schalk

P: Rube Marquard, Catfish, Pennock, Jesse Haines, Red Ruffing, Eppa Rixey, Jack Chesbro

Others: Tinker, Rizzuto, Max Carey, Harry Hooper, Earle Combs, Ross Youngs, Chick Hafey, Tony Perez

sorry guys, I'm usually around at least in the morning and late night on weekends, but not during the day. Yesterday was particularly crazy.

Hank Gowdy, C

 

[Koya]

Eddie Moore, OF and 3B. Good OF D, very nice OBP and 3B eligibility.

Yes, I actually will get to a stadium, just let me wade through my fantasy football stuff first. We really SHOULD form the league already - I'd prefer to have some input from Eephus before doing so, however.
