I do not think that in terms of team mates any team can beat this:



2004 Yankees



Posada / Jeter / A Rod / Giambi / Sheffield / Kevin Brown / Mo Riv



2006 Yankees



Posada / Jeter / A Rod / Giambi / Sheffield / Randy Johnson / Mo Rivera

I think those Tigers were taken in different years, some on different teams?



A few with 2:

1953 Dodgers had Duke and Campy

1962 Dodgers had Wills and Tommy Davis

2001 Giants with Bonds and Aurilia

1930 Giants with Lindstrom and Terry

2001 DBacks with Gonzo and Unit(?)



I'm sure I'm missing some.

You've got some catching up to do-- I count 15 Cubs in just the first five round!



I count 103......YEARS!!! :D



Please. Let's not compare the second city franchise with America's Team. Let's Go Mets!!!

You guys are going off on a tangent... I was thinking guys actually picked from the SAME YEAR on the SAME TEAM. Interesting convo anyhow, so carry on!

I know that this is a slow draft, but I don't understand how some people can sit on the clock for so long during the prime hours of the day. You would expect that during these evening hours, at least some progress would be made.. :rolleyes:

I thought that at night we could easily knock out at least one round per day but that has not been the case. It has been very slow, although as I said I had never done a slow draft before but from what you have all told me this has been very slow.

Mark B's only been on the clock 3 hours. Not everybody can make their picks from work. Patience, my friends! Plenty of time to arrange our deck chairs. ;) I'm confident it will be back to me in time for lunch tomorrow.

If your time expires you get passed and get an additional minute after the next drafter goes. Would really test your knowledge and organizational skills.

I actually kind of think in this kind of draft it is so involved that I really like it as a slow draft. I mean hell we have went at this pace so far and I am still enjoying it, I just do not think I could ever do a slow draft for like the 2012 regular baseball season, although I assume that would move quicker.
