Plus you get 5 or 6 years of below average pitching which drags his career numbers down, plus if Koufax played in Brooklyn his whole career his stats may have been effected negatively since he wouldn't have Dodger stadium to play in, which is why the Draft Values are based on NEUTRALIZED stats not real stats. In a draft he probably won't be a Dodger. That drags him down a little more. When you add up all the little things that drag him kicking and screaming back to the pack maybe 20 is reasonable for a draft value based on his entire neutralized career. Myownself there are obviously players I'd take him ahead of knowing what I know about the things I know about. But 20? I don't know, it isn't that far off. I won't wet my pants over it. The numbers are just numbers and they fall out however they fall out. I just had Marvelous Marv Breeding beat out Teddy Ballgame for the batting title in my sim. Just goes to show, you never know.
