Sadie McMahon was taken by the Indians with the 13th overall pick in the 2073 draft.

In his first 7 seasons, he compiled a record of 112-53 and won 2 Cy Young Awards.

His first came in 2078 when he won a career high 23 games while losing 8. His OOTP ERA of 3.18 gave him a npa ERA+ of 129. He was not a big K guy, but cold put people away. McMahon fanned 231 men in 249 IP. He did have good control and kept the ball in the park, as evidenced by the 61 walks and 17 HR he allowed in those 249 IP.

It is interesting to note this award, as it indicates that OOTP does give weight to victories, probably on a graduating scale (a 20th win worth more than the 19th win which is worth more than the 18th win). McMahon ranked 7th in ERA, in 2078, and ranked 3rd in VORP and WAR. A total of three different players were ahead of McMahon on the VORP/WAR lists, also, yet McMahon got the hardware. One of those players had 18 wins, the other two had 16.

In 2080, he won his second CYA. He was 20-9 with a 2.52 OOTP ERA (npa ERA+ 171) and struck out 278 men in 275 1/3 IP. He gave up only 12 HR on the year and walked only 45 as he tabulated a career best 12.0 WAR.

He was also the only Indian starter with double digit wins for a team that also featured Tim Jordan hitting 58 HRs. Jordan and MaMahon were the key parts to the Tribe winning the WS as he took the hill 3 times and took home 3 wins while earning a 1.50 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP.

Shoulder and forearm issues limited his playing time in 2081. In 2084 he fractured his elbow and the Indians chose to let him go, having made all 288 ML appearances as a starter.

The Braves signed him and he pitched exclusively in relief for them. However, the elbow injury had taken its toll on his stuff and control, which were both halved post injury.

McMahon tried to adapt to his new physiology, and he did not quit easilly. He never again pitched in the major leagues, but he spent 6 seasons in the minor leagues trying to regain a ML form.

McMahon is another shooting star entry. His .631 win % from 135 victories and 79 defeats ranks him 36th, All-Time.

In 1999 2/3 IP, he struck out 2029 men. He walked 487 (70th career Opp OBP of .293) and gave up 171 HR. In this environment, the HR total is amazing.

Three times an All Star, McMahon enters the HOF at the age of 45.

Black Ink: 36 (27)
Gray Ink: 117 (95)
HOFm: 86.5 (79)
HOFs: 35 (22)

Gorilla Composite: 2.7 (2.0)

Using the standards in place here and applying them to RL, Sadie McMahon falls short of being in Cooperstown.

--------------------------------------------

In the 2070 draft, Bob Horner was the 15th player selected. He went to play for the Royals.

He broke into the league by leading the league in HR, with 50, and taking home ROY honors.

In his first 5 seasons, he would lead the league in HR 4 times never hit fewer than 50 in a season. Some years, he hit quite a few more.

As a 20 year-old, in 2072, he hit 80 HR. A slash line of 346/408/789 was good for a npa OPS+ of 212 and made him an overwhelmingly easy MVP selection.

In 2074 he hit 73 HR and drove in a career high 158 runs and scored a career high 134 to win his second MVP.

In 2075 he led the Royals to the WS with a traditional line of .327/53/134. He hit 7 HR in 11 post season games, but fell to the Marlins in six games. This would be his only post season appearance.

After sitting out the 2089 season, Horner found work wth the Astros and hit 21 HR in 394 AB. However, his .244 average steered the Astros, and every other team, from signing him in 2091, as he sat on 699 career HR.

2092 came and went without an offer.

In July of 2093, at the age of 41, Cleveland gave him a minor league deal, which he accepted. On September 2, he connected for his 700th HR. He retired at the conclusion of the season. Not only did he hit his 700th HR (16th, between Frank Howard and Orlando Cepeda), but more surprisingly, he also hit his 8th career triple in his Swan Song season.

Horner collected 2520 career hits (61st, between Pablo Sandoval and Carlton Fisk) while putting together a slash line of 293/361/584 to place him 63rd on the career slg% list. He ranks 93rd in career OPS.

He has 1725 (36th, one spot behind the Mike Piazza/Carlton Fisk tie) and 1517 runs scored to his credit (t-43rd, Al Rosen).

A 6 time All Star, Horner enters the HOF at the age of 47 in his first year of eligibility. He enters as a 1Bman.
