FWIW, I still say we could do a leftover draft. Look at some of the hitters still available!
Eddie Murray
Tony Perez
Harold Baines
Dave Parker
Fred McGriff
And some of the pitchers:
Frank Tanana
David Cone
Tom Glavine
Rick Aguilera
Kent Tekulve"Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"

Congrats Feral!
It's funny but since I've been doing these things, I've never attempted any strategy other than "best value" combined with "bad letter/decade/positions." I don't think I've ever purposely attempted to punt a category, it just turns out that way in the end. I think I finished last in Career SBs yet took Brock, so I guess that didn't work out.
But these last two drafts, with a 1st and 3rd place finish, I did far less work than any other draft I did. No projections, no nada. So I have no idea how it worked out so well!
What's next?

Congrats Feral!If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Congrats to Feral, Revo and Frae
to Eld for not picking Clemente and costing me 3rd place! (or congrats depending on how you feel ). ElD and Revo must have been super close in many hitting categories for Clemente to create such a huge swing between them.

Congratulations, Feral!
In terms of the next draft, my preferences:
* Franchise draft (haven't done this and would like to see the rules, but I'm intrigued)
* Progressive era draft (Deadball draft followed by 1920-1970 or so and then Modern draft)
I'd be up for the leftover draft, too. It would definitely be good to get deeper into the player pool at some point.

woo, single-digit placing!In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Congrats, Feral.
I'm really annoyed at myself. Starting out, I used vd2 numbers as my reference point, with the logic being that if I aimed for the top scoring stat in each category, I'd do well. Not so much. There were a few categories that went much differently than expected. For example, I beat the best Runs scored for Career (19122) and Best Year (1765), yet I only scored 4 and 6.5 points in those categories respectively. I beat BY WHIP (1.862), but only scored 8 pts. But that didn't hold true for all ratios - I missed BY BA from vd 2 (.3379), but still scored 9 points.
And if I pick Jim Rice 78 instead of Cesar Cedeno, I don't lose any Career SB points and finish 6th. And Johnny finishes 3rd."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"
