Ken and I had been discussing catcher selections. I was also considering Cochrane when I took Stargell but if I can't afford to slack on catchers a bit with the start I have in hitting I have done something terribly wrong. Which I might have, of course.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.Comment

I feel like I still have a chance at relevance. I think my plan of taking hitting until I could see how much dumping was happening in pitching has mostly worked out - I'm probably not going to end up with any 2s in pitching because Johnny/Heye/Hacko overlap to cover the possible places I could get one, so now it's just a question of whether I can get even up to mediocrity in some of the categories.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

This has been the toughest vintage draft I can remember. Just seems like the picks have been really good across the board but also hard to predict at times, which makes for a tough combo. Ken did a good job in his first draft but has really taken a step forward in this one.---------------------------------------------

Hey gang I know I'm up. I'll get right on it!More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

I didn't start that thread, although I have posted in there frequently. I'm having a long-term argument (re: a few weeks) among my college friends in our group chat, half of whom see no issue whatsoever with blackface -- especially from 30+ years ago. And these guys are far from stupid, but as a history major (as well as an African-American studies minor), I frequently feel like they have no sense of American history, let alone civil rights history.Comment
