I cannot believe Mickey Mantle almost fell to me. Curse you Bruiser! :argh:

Oh well, I'm also pretty surprised this guy fell to me too. With the 11th pick in Dispersal Draft VII, the Hartford Whalers select 2B Eddie Collins, from the year of our lord 1911.

If 2001 A-Rod had fallen to me I wouldn't have taken Mantle.

1910 Shoeless Joe Jackson (.387/.446/.587, 221 OPS+ that year, career .356/.423/.517, 169 OPS+) is up for sale!

As is 2011 Chase Utley!

What the balls is with this supplemental round? I'd support another round for EC teams (plus the Coburns and Biosparks, I suppose), but teams like the Bangers, the Unicorns, the Cultists, and the Eazy W's don't need picks!

If the commissioner says this is a horribly terrible trade, then I have to be inclined to believe him. Sorry Bruiser, trade cancelled because of Baseball (Mogul) reasons.

Shadow_gamer: Del Ennis scares be because of his inability to take a walk. I decline.

ForeverBWFC: I'm looking for someone a bit above the level of Gibson.

This of course means that '95 Jeter, '72 Murcer, and my Supplemental pick are all still on the trading block.

I'll bump it up to Spud Davis instead of Ruiz.

To go into more depth beyond :toot::
In the outfield:
Bonds & Griffey are going to hit home runs and even steal some bases, in exchange for not taking walks and playing average at best defense. Ichiro isn't going to hit homeruns or take walks, but he'll probably consistently hit .320 and steal 20 bases so lead him off.

Did... Did you just say Barry Bonds isn't going to draw walks? :stare:

"Robinson Cano has a poor hit tool."

WHAT?!

Robinson Cano's worst BA in the majors was .278 and that's in a year where his BABIP was 40 points off its career average.

And, Cano has a 11.8 strikeout percentage over his years in the majors, as opposed to a 17.8% mark for the rest of the majors. Cano is very, very good at putting a bat on a ball.

That is all.

e: By which I mean that Bruzer agreed to forfeit certain dispersal draft picks if he didn't make those book reports. He hasn't, so, if the Nets win, he loses draft picks.

I don't even care about the Nets! My only connection to them is that the Barclays Center is a 5 or 10-minute walk from my apartment.
