      Maybe it is a lack of strategy. Didn't realize 1870 was such a wasteland. This draft may be much more interesting than I thought it would be

        Well 1 catcher will get tired having to keep for all those innings ... imagine how sore their wrists will be digging all those 75mph "fastballs" out of the dirt.

          Well their knees did hold up better.

          I think I've finally hit my stride in vintage drafting. I've managed to annoy Johnny with a selection of mine.

            • I bet Heyelander will think that Eddie Plank pick was great. Especially since he took him in Round 3.
              Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                Don't let that stop u from picking them. Just updated my pick

                • Cal McVey with 186 games at 1B and 182 at Catcher... that's a bummer.
                  I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

                    Is there some kind of limit or something?

                    • The minimum to qualify for a position is 200. I assume (but didn't check) that if a player doesn't qualify for any position they can't be drafted.
                      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.

                      • Rules say if no position is over 200 the qualify at whatever their highest is, so 1B eligible only.

                          We have a winner!

                          • Here's Rule B-sub i from the VD 10 rules...

                            b. Hitter Positional requirements

                            i. For a hitter to be eligible for a position, he must have played 200 games at that position. If a hitter has not played 200 games at any position, then the position that player has played the most games at will be considered their eligible position. If you choose to take a player who has the most games played at pitcher or designated hitter (and does not have any other position where they met the 200 game minimum) then that player only qualifies for the UT slot.
