1965 Hall of Fame
Finn Loconte, LHP Loconte retires with the 2nd most WAR of any player in the game and the 4th best JAWS score. He easily beat out Ponce Osornio's previous record strikeout total by nearly 300 and is currently 146 ahead of the still active Peter Griffith. Not only was he the ace of the Yankees pitching staff through three Championships, but he signed with the Indians for a few years and led them to a World Series win as well. He was very durable throughout his career until his age-35 season when a torn triceps significantly dropped his ability to bring value. Initial Acquisition: Drafted 40th overall in 1947 by the Yankees out of Fond du Lac MLB Awards: 3 J.P. Avila, 10 AS, 4 WS, 1 PMVP Career Stats: 3844.7 IP, 1173 BB, 2828 K, 3.12 FIP, 78 FIP-, 96.8 WAR, 78.4 JAWS Osvaldo Botello, CF Botello led the league in hits for 7 straight years through the 1950s. He was durable, starting almost every single game for the Tigers during that span. He was on the easy track to 3,000 hits, but his value dropped through the floor when he turned 28 and after spending time with the Diamondbacks and Devil Rays, he finished his career in the Atlantic League. Initial Acquisition: Signed in 1947 with the Tigers out of Venezuela MLB Awards: 4 Tomas Reed MVP, 1 ROY, 8 AS, 5 SS Career Stats: 9518 PA, 2773 H, 33 HR, 141 SB, .357 wOBA, 121 wRC+, 19.7 ZR, 58.5 WAR, 50.8 JAWS Santiago Mendoza, LHP Mendoza had a very promising start to his career - a Rookie of the Year in 1952 and a Pitcher of the Year in 1955. However, from 1957 through 1962, he became a good mid-rotation starter but nothing more. By the time he turned 33 in 1964, the number one prospect from 1950-1952 was a replacement level player. Shoulder inflammation and a torn labrum made sure of that. Initial Acquisition: Signed in 1947 with the Padres out of Nicaragua MLB Awards: 1 J.P. Avila, 1 ROY, 1 GG, 2 AS, 1 WS Career Stats: 2693.7 IP, 1430 BB, 2024 K, 3.83 FIP, 96 FIP-, 41.5 WAR, 46 JAWS |

1966 Top 100 Prospects
Even more of the top 100 prospects are pitchers this year and K.J. Nix is king of them all. He's basically a major-league ready starter with three great pitches and a curve to throw in every so often. The top hitter is Jameon Spry, a well-balanced offensive 1B with tons of power. He would be better as a DH. |

1966 MLB Draft
There was a ton of great high school pitching available this year with three potential aces at the top. The Devil Rays settled on Jason Calhoun, a right-handed starter with two very good offspeed offerings but a somewhat weak fastball. The Pirates took the first hitter, Mark Bartnikowski out of Jefferson High in Georgia. He's a more contact-first hitter but with plenty of pop as well. The first college player went at pick number 5 -- lefty Brooks Jones out of Kansas. Round 1, Pick 1 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays: SP Jason Calhoun, age 18 Round 1, Pick 2 - Kansas City Royals: SP Henry Kloulchad, age 18 Round 1, Pick 3 - Atlanta Braves: SP Grant Swoyer, age 18 Round 1, Pick 4 - Pittsburgh Pirates: LF Mark Bartnikowski, age 18 Round 1, Pick 5 - Texas Rangers: SP Brooks Jones, age 21 Round 1, Pick 6 - Baltimore Orioles: SP Gunner Turrill, age 21 Round 1, Pick 7 - Los Angeles Dodgers: SP Karl Coulman, age 21 Round 1, Pick 8 - New York Mets: SP Aaron Tippetts, age 18 Round 1, Pick 9 - Colorado Rockies: SP Kyson Broadway, age 21 Round 1, Pick 10 - Detroit Tigers: SP Vinny Bowers, age 21 Round 1, Pick 11 - St. Louis Cardinals: SP Roy Felix, age 21 Round 1, Pick 12 - Arizona Diamondbacks: SS R.J.

1966 Hall of Fame
Simon Brice, 2B Simon Brice retires as the 4th best 2B behind Theodore Gonzales, Eitor Armijo, and Nic Wiener. He was a high-OBP guy and led the league four times in walks and twice in OBP in a career spent entirely with the Yankees. Unfortunately, he spent two of his prime years with long injuries (strained oblique, torn quad, separated shoulder, back spasms) which reduced his entire career value. Initial Acquisition: Drafted 6th overall in 1951 by the Yankees out of Southern California MLB Awards: 1 Tomas Reed MVP, 1 ROY, 6 AS, 7 SS, 3 WS, 1 PMVP Career Stats: 9093 PA, 2016 H, 155 HR, 125 SB, .353 wOBA, 125 wRC+, -6.6 ZR, 64 WAR, 53.1 JAWS Brady Sheard, RF Sheard and Brice were college teammates and they go into the MLB Hall of Fame together. Sheard was a solid defensive RF even though he never won a gold glove. He was definitely known more for his bat though, and in 1956, he led the league in hits, average, slugging, OPS, and WAR. He is the next in a long line of about six corner outfielders to have Hall of Fame careers in this era. Initial Acquisition: Drafted 19th overall in 1950 by the Marlins out of Southern California MLB Awards: 1 Tomas Reed MVP, 8 AS, 4 SS, 1 WS, 1 PMVP Career Stats: 8674 PA, 2478 H, 141 HR, 208 SB, .364 wOBA, 127 wRC+, 61.3 ZR, 61.5 WAR, 50.3 JAWS |

1967 Top 100 Prospects
Pitchers continue to dominate the prospect list and this year Gabriel Moffitt is the top prospect. He was selected 2nd overall in 1965 and has absolutely insane stuff with three great pitches. His movement and control are good but not great. The top hitter this year is the Mark Bartnikowski, the top hitting draftee in 1966. Last edited by stealofhome; 06-26-2019 at 12:52 AM. |

1967 MLB Draft
High School pitching again reigned supreme, with five taken prior to a single hitter. Jonathan Den was drafted 1st overall out of North Cobb. He has three potential pitches with better movement and control than stuff. The top college draftee was also a pitcher -- Hudson Goldstein out of Arkansas. He should get to the majors quickly and find a spot in the middle of the rotation. The first hitter was a high school 2B out of Pensacola Catholic -- Kane Woods. He has an elite eye and great speed.

MLB Owner Changes:
The Milwaukee Brewers are heavy-hearted and hurting today. The club announced today at a press conference held at Miller Park that its owner Mike Walk Jr. had passed away, finally succumbing to a lengthy illness. The team's general manager released funeral arrangements and also announced the new owner. Luke Walk is the new Milwaukee Brewers head man. According to the local media he has a reputation for being financially economizer and tolerant in temperament. Since I will be taking over the Brewers franchise in the future, I have been tracking the owner, general manager, and manager of the Brewers every year. Walk Jr. took over the team in 1924 after his father passed away. In his 42 years as owner, the Brewers won the World Series twice and made the playoffs 17 times. He was over 90 years old. Misc: I was looking through the emails and received a notice about a manager from the ATL league who was injured during pre-game warmups. His name? Braylen Buffalo. This is a cool moment for me in this universe. Braylen played for the Central High School Grizzlies from 1919 through 1923 and I remember him because he won the MVP his senior year and was drafted 1st overall. He was then a top-10 prospect for 4 straight years but his career never quite panned out and he made one all-star team and retired in 1942. Now, 25 years later, he shows up in an email. He has been the Blue Crabs manager since 1949.
