Rusty Kuntz will also go undrafted. As a side note, that was Squid's mom's nickname in highschool.

Not to mention his name....does not get any better

Dickie Thon can top him, lol.

There are some pretty sick players who are going to go undrafted. One of them is an absolute shocker to me. Maybe two.

I have at least three, but with decades and letters, it is tough. Hell, if we ever do decades, letters, and franchises, tons of insanely good players will go undrafted.

It depends on worth over competition or overall best---the modern players with the modern methods have an advantage in the latter. If the former, you have to try to consider Paige and Gibson, and there is no way to compare them with any accuracy.

Yeah, I still think it's clearly Ruth no matter who you include. I mean, the guy was one of the best pitchers in the league. He has the 3rd best ERA of starters in the modern era! Then he went on to not only set HR records, but to so annihilate them that today's equivalent would be someone hitting 350 HRs or something in a season. The battle is for second.

I mean, Babe Ruth is very, very clearly the #1 of all time in my book. I get that he didn't have the same competition or whatever but still......it ain't close, imo.

And, thinking about it, I can help you with your projections---I can PM you my projections for me and heyelander since you will know the actual picks before you pick, and it might speed things up. Seem fair Johnny? (if he signs off on it before I sign off for the night, I will send it).

Now that I look at it, Hisashi Iwakuma was a pretty decent final round QUI.

I had you second division before I found that pick. Now 3rd. He might be a good one, lol.

Pretty solid. I probably should have waited on him

They are lamenting the omission of Ken Griffey, Jr.

Mariano Rivera? Uh....

They're doing a top 10 baseball players of all time thing on ESPN's facebook feed and the first voting option is.......Pete Rose? Lol, right.
