I wanted '95 Bonds.... Nice pick. So, now we'll pivot and draft somebody who might be able to get '95 Bonds out. Oh, and we move up to pick #4 next round.

1992 Dennis Rasmussen, $2,011,353

1994 John Valentin $4,939,775
sm please.

1992 Rod Beck

$ 3,949,104

I’m not overly keen on taking a slow, right-handed batter with a terrible OBP. But, at least, fielding never slumps.

1994 Matt Williams $7,167,983

Might as well keep building this pen.

1991 Mark Eichhorn - $3,164,525

1997 Charles Johhnson - $4,091,337

via text, ff09 selects 1997 Mark McGwire (Oak), $6,648,179

Need my CF and leadoff hitter...

1990 Lenny Dykstra, $7,837,358

Over the past couple of rounds, it has become clear to me that the stats I have been looking at really aren't recipes for success. Since I really don't ever come into these drafts with any strategy (and it shows) at least I have finally seen the light, here in league 9, that if I pay attention to some of the commentary from some of the more successful owners, especially one, that I may be able to improve my decision making.

So I will try it out now.

I was locking in on a feature not sortable in the draft center, a successful car wash operator. Then schwarze sniped me on the 1990 Dykstra pick.

So I will move on to the next criteria and try to immitate RTG's subsequent choice and select:

1995 Matt Williams
