Devastating fantasy draft!

ForeverRoyalKC · 07-20-2016, 10:09 PM

Hey folks, I have been toying with trying a KC Royals fantasy draft again using players from the years 1950 - 1979 and the season set for 1979 (yeah, weird...don't ask, it's a long story). Anyway, I would say it was a reeaalllly successful draft! Check out this roster!!! Talk....about...hitters!!

LF Ted Williams
CF Willie Mays
RF Stan Musial
3B Todd Cruz (ok, he isn't so devastating, LOL!)
SS Bucky Dent
2B Nellie Fox
1B Eddie Murray
C Rick Cerone
DH Richie Zisk

SP Don Newcombe
SP Dennis Eckersely
SP Joaquin Andujar
SP Vida Blue
SP Denny McLain

RP Satchel Paige
RP Kent Tekulve
RP Sparky Lyle
RP Rick Honeycutt
RP Mudcat Grant
RP Jim Kern

CL Goose Gossage

Bench:
1B John Mayberry
LF Gary Roenicke
OF Dale Mitchell
3B Greg Pryor
C Elston Howard

Reserves:
OF Tim Raines
IF Rafael Landestoy

Would love to hear your opinions! Whaddya think?!

The pool must have been ridiculously deep for you to get Williams, Mays, and Musial.

How many other teams were drafting?

BigRed75 · 07-21-2016, 01:01 AM

Rafael Landestoy's gonna put you over the top. Nice score.

I want to hear the long story about the 1979 season set.
Do tell

So the draft system is still messed up.

No, I think he just drafted from basically from half of history. I assume every team has several HoFers.

Hey, guys...quick note here. I used the years 1950-1979 and had about 1150 players to choose from. All of the MLB teams from 1979 were in on the draft.

Well that's a helluva team you put together.
