[majormet]

The featured players for 1913 draft are

BABE RUTH

The Bambino from Pigtown, Maryland enters the draft as the guy with the most upside but drinks way too much. The Detroit Tigers have the first pick and will they take him or go with the safer pick in ...

HARRY HEILMANN

Heilmann from San Franciso has a lot of talent and could go #1 if Detroit is too afraid to take their chances on Ruth who no one knows what he is. Heilmann would be another Tris Speaker for sure, but with Ruth the ceiling is very high.
