I'm guessing you are awarding almost triple the weight to Franchises than I am. That could very well be correct.

Why do you say that?

[cavebird]

So who you guys got for your top ten?

Really tough calls, imo.

1. Cy Young
2. Walter Johnson
3. Babe Ruth
4. Barry Bonds
5. A-Rod
6. Pete Alexander
7. Carl Yaz
8. Robin Yount
9. Hank Aaron
10. Ty Cobb


Tough to leave Foxx out of there, though. I can easily see Bonds over Ruth but the era restriction is what held him at 4th for me. Cobb vs. Foxx vs. Rickey vs. Teddy Ballgame vs. Billy Hamilton is a tough call --- all have unbelievable career and BY stats but all at premium letters, positions, and franchises. On a related note, I should have taken Rudy York in the 2nd when I had the chance. I always regret passing on that dude.

I have the same top four in the same order. Then:

5. Aaron
6. A-Rod
7. Yount
8. Radbourn
9. Alexander
10. Yaz

I had Cobb at 11. And these were just a guide for me, obviously, since I took Yaz over Radbourn and Alexander when I picked. I had York at 21, so I don't see any problem with your passing on him, lol. Draft has gone QUIZY crazy now. A great chance to see if my QUIZ theory is right or a pile of horse dung.

Since JMaeroff is after me and he says he can't pick until tonight, I'm a gonna take a lil time with my pick to extend the anticipation

When you get a chance, revo, please explain to me your strategy from the last draft since I appear to be following it, and I don't really have a clue what to do next.

Dammit! My strategy this draft was to pick who I thought Cavebird would pick!!

I know your 16th round pick now.

[cavebird]

I know your 16th round pick now.

At this rate on QUIZY's, you might need to make that a 6th round pick, lol.

[cavebird]

Then why do you keep picking QUIZ guys?

[revo]

I know your 16th round pick now.

Hopefully, I'm not using a wildcard on a U or Z.

I keep and eat leftovers wayyyyyyy past any health recommendations. Although Last night i broke down and threw out the last of the three week old mashed potatoes. I guess if i ever got sick or had any problems i would be more vigilant about this stuff

I'm really hit or miss. I'll eat week+ old pot roast that I've made, but throw away milk way too early.

I tend to make food for the week in the instant pot. I'll have the same soup or chicken tacos for lunch every day for a week+.

Just negged johnny for starting this conversation in the wrong thread.

Milk is an exception, it gets noticeably worse sometimes before expiration date
