This draft has been a stone cold catastrophe for me ... there won't be a pick anytime soon. Apart from DiMaggio and Ruth, every pick has either backfired or been a reaction to those backfiring picks.

Leonard was a must pick.

I guessed right, CJ couldn't take him but you could and that BY ratio help was needed for flexibility with some of the quizy shit I have to eat.

Wow, he didn't even make my initial list; probably because I concentrate too much on career numbers. But, hey, Feral finally got someone to take an "L"! L-run!

I'm very persuasive

Johnny, maybe you can explain modern VD strategy for me. To me, Leonard makes no sense for you. Your BY ratios are already below my targets for the entire draft, and two of your remaining six pitchers are from great deadball decades that will help, not hurt them. I see your career ERA as your biggest pitching issue, and Leonard doesn't really help you with that for a 1910's guy. Maybe you have some strategy with your remaining QIZY guys that I don't contemplate, but you seem to have been protecting BY ratios so far---Smoltz and Carlton are great guys for BY ratios for their decades and, obviously, Joss is great for all ratios, period. Maybe my targets are all messed up, but I was going by VD 6 results to set them.

Devastating, mind blowing lepers.

He was only the third L off the board, lol. Lots of mediocre there. Well, I guess it is good for me that you have to take a while to pick--it delays Controller Jacobs from taking all of my guys.

Dutch Mother Blucking Leonard

[Bene Futuis]

Almost took Perez with my last pick but decided I didn't want to be a little bitch.

Dutch Mother Blucking Leonard

Well, technically, you can still take Dutch Leonard.

L sucks in general, but you can normally get a passable second half L to do a job. The way my decades fell, almost all those passable options were eliminated.
