3. OF Jesse Burkett - 797 PA's .409 / .486 / .524

How has Burkett worked out for others? I was looking at him forever.

No clue, but looked at his average performance on WIS and it was pretty good.

I've had him, he's good. Defense wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

 

[Spartans Rule]

8.10 Roy Campanella, C, 1950s

Excited about this pick, not so much because of Campy but because I'll get to use 1932 Foxx at 1B

5th round value in the 8th round IMO

Yeah, when I looked at where Dickey/Hartnett/Torre etc. went I was surprised he was still available. He's not that far behind those guys.

I like my lineup so far. I might draft a power bat to hit clean-up, but Sisler has a .594 SLG so while he isnt hitting a ton of HR's he still has power. Need a solid 4th starter and a lot fo bullpen help.

If you replaced Thomas with Gwynn, I would have thought this was a Larry team.

How? I didnt get skipped. I dont have any Twins. There arent any steals listed. This one will be over .500

 

[Koya]

Jorga Posada C

Larry's in the thread. The fun's just starting.

 

[larry_boy_44]

The Brewers didn't start until 1970. Larry might have issues later on in the draft.

There's always the Braves...

somehow learned to type and made a more timely pick than Larry?

Home Run Baker 3B 1910s

 

[Doctor Detroit]

08.19 P John Smoltz

Flex appeal. Right now I have the 2003 one identified but will consider '96 if I need to later.

 

[Koya]

Home Run Baker 3B 1910s

Was between he and Posada for me. Wanted to keep the years and position flexibility of **** Allen though.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

8.20 Art Wilson C Federal League

Only 375 PA's, but should be a solid right handed half of my platoon at catcher.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Home Run Baker is blacklisted, he hit like .260 with no home run power (imagine?) for me last time I had him.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Really wanted Baker...thought he had a better chance of lasting than O'Doul. Poops

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Allen pick is a waste if you're playing him 1B, imo.

I've used Allen's best 3B year in an all-time league. He's a bit short on PAs and strikes out a ton but he was pretty productive otherwise.

 

[AcerFC]

There must be a reason he has not been taken but I guess Ill make the mistake

I'm leaning first base but really could go either way. Still some good 1B talent, but he gets a surprising number of xbh in the sim and walks a lot with not that many singles so good for my park. Depends on how things turn out

Yeah I've had him in two and he has good but not great production. Seems to get a lot of walkoffs though.

Just don't call him Richie

Could be a speed turn of epic proportions here, history making even
