Historical Fantasy Draft
Full disclosure: I borrowed this idea directly from hairyangryfella who had this idea first and is running on the basketball board (http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/b...asy-draft.html). And he gave me permission to run one on the baseball board.
I'm looking for 10 people to fill out a roster of baseball team. Rules: You have to fill out a roster by position. Draft order will be done by random.org. Draft will be snake style. You cannot insert someone into a position that they did not play for at least a significant portion of their career. For example, you cannot have Mike Piazza at first base. Your DH slot can be filled by any position player. Your bullpen can be filled with starters or relievers. After all rosters are set I will post a poll and ask that people vote on which team they think would be the winner. I will try to keep order, but will not have a team myself. EDIT: Players must have been on an official MLB roster during their career. Roster format will as follows: C 1B 2B 3B SS LF CF RF DH Bench Bench Bench Bench SP SP SP SP SP Closer Bullpen Bullpen Bullpen Bullpen So, who wants to participate?

It balances between SB, AVG, RBI's, and HR's. Everybody who participated in this draft has a great team seeing that we all have HOF caliber players, but what makes mine the best is the balance in the line-up from 1-9. The top of the order provides XBH, AVG, OBP, speed, and even a little POP. The middle of the order can't get any better with McGwire and Ortiz mashing. Even 6-9 provide some pop with the ability to get on base and steal. On the field I also took into consideration defense. Between everyone I have 58 Gold Glove awards on this team with some close finishes. As for the Bench, I went for a well rounded approach with Varitek who could provide some pup but still call a great game! Garciapparra can provide Gold Glove caliber defense at both Third and SS. Larkin Can provide speed and GG defense and SS and 2nd. And Larry Walker provides HR power with GG defense in the OF and possibly 1B. I have any situation covered between pinch hitting, pinch running, or some defensive substitution. The pitchers I selected vary between finesse, velocity, and aggression. Who wouldn't want a couple of pitchers (Ryan and Strasburg) who throw in the upper 90's touching triple digits?!! Curt Schilling is a proven big game pitcher. Felix Hernandez has just been a dominant SP since he came up and for an awefule team. Imagine what he could do with a little run support. And then you have Mike Mussina cleaning it up as an innings eater and all around great pitcher. As for the bullpen, I went with dominant closer types who can handle the pressure of a close game. Eckersley is arguably the best closer behind Rivera. I have 1543 Saves between the 5 bullpen guys. Not too shabby! This fantasy draft was a lot of fun! Good luck to everyone, it has been a pleasure.

It will start after all ten people have been chosen. My guess is that it will take a while to complete, and I do not intend on rushing the process.

You're in
You're in First back up Quote:
I'm going to go ahead and do the draft order and post it. If someone takes more than a reasonable amount of time to make their first round pick, I'll boot them and replace them with one of the backups. All participants are locked in at the end of the first round. When making picks please pm next in line, and post your team roster updated with the players chosen. I will try to keep the OP updated with all players chosen. Good luck everyone.
