He did well for Kaius in the All-Time Franchise tournament, I think.

The question with Rod Carew is where to play him. I'm definitely taking his 1977 season for the offense. But that year he only played four games at second base, and the majority of the season at first. Obviously, if I could play him at second base it'd help my offense. But I don't want to lose on defense either. We shall see.

We're still going with Kaius' "Just pick a couple of handsome Cardinals for me" rule for when he's not around, right?

Haha I like doug.

I was wondering that with Carew as well. Not your prototypical first baseman. He was essentially Mark Grace who could run when he played first. Also, Pete Rose when he gets drafted....where the hell do you play him?

Also, just a reminder to everyone that you can PM a few picks to someone who is picking after you if you're not gonna be around.

I wonder if phil taking his favorite player in third round will put the pressure on Kaius to take his favorite in the third as well.

They are Cardinals so they are all ugly.

But no they had some goober looking dudes in the 80's.

So glad my favorite is not on anyone's radar.

Nah. I mean, I dug him when he was on the Sox, but he's not a personal favorite or anything.

You already took my all-time favorite player. I am gonna try to take the guy who held the title before him though.

That sounds about right. That Mets team was pretty legendary.

Highly recommend the book about the 1986 Mets. Not sure why Vince Coleman made me think this.

Isn't there a book about the Bobby Bonilla/Vince Coleman Mets called "The Worst Team Money Could Buy" or something like that?
