I'll take the Dodgers. Also, I'll vote to keep the DH AL only.

There's one Punto I really hope isn't chosen in the next 5 picks. In which case he'll probably be taken by the Astros in the next pick.

Crap, all the 3B guys I like are going off the board. There's only a couple Punto's left.

There's one Punto I'm hoping everyone has forgotten about so I can get him like 35 picks from now. Yes I know that's very unlikely. :ohdear:

For anyone with questions about the Jayson Heyward pick, the Cubs originally drafted him, before changing it like 30 minutes later to Napoli. So yes, you did see him drafted, but he wasn't actually drafted.

Alright, thanks for clarifying that Llama.

Okay, I think kensei had the steal of the draft with Wlad. I wanted to see what he could do, so I unretired him and ran a season.



I think this might border on gaming the system, since Wlad never even OPS+ over around 80 during his short, 3 year MLB career where he never played a full season. Still, great pick kensei!

That's also in Yankee stadium.

Oh duh; didn't even notice haha. Those numbers probably aren't as sustainable in Phoenix then. Still should work out well for kensei.

I mean, I dunno. His MLB time came at the ages of 23 and 24 and he was in Japan by the time he hit 26, so it's quite possible he just put it all together and if he came back to MLB he could do it. I dunno.

It's definitely not impossible. Now I'm curious how OOTP sets up career arcs and player's peaks when determining how well they should do in a season.
