This draft has been an unending series of buyer's remorse for me. I considered both George Davis and Arky Vaughan for my last pick but really didn't intend on nabbing them both. I think both are decent enough value at this juncture but did I really need to fill up my 2b/SS/MI slots already? Arky Vaughan is just empty BA, more or less. Well, what's done is done.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Interestingly, I have Clayton Kershaw with almost the exact same value as Sandy Koufax. They're right next to each other in my spreadsheet rankings, with Koufax possessing the superior BY and Kershaw having the better career numbers.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

He won't get picked, so it's fair game to talk about Len Koenecke (sp?). He got sent home during the 1930(?) season for being a crazy fuck. On the plane ride home, he attempted to hijack the plane. The pilot smacked him over the head with a fire extinguisher and Len died from the traumatic brain injury.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Ed Delahanty played his last game in 1903 after he essentially abandoned his team. He got super wasted and jumped off of Niagara Falls to his death. When his body was found a couple weeks later, he was only wearing shoes and a tie.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Babe Ruth was part of maybe the weirdest no-hitter in MLB history. He was pitching, walked the first dude, and punched the umpire in the face thereby getting ejected. The Babe was replaced by Ernie Shore. The baserunner was erased trying to steal second and Shore retired the next 26 batters in a row.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
