MLB All Star Salary Cap Draft: CHAT

[MilkSpiller22]

In the juicing seasons or before or after?

career wise... Do we know when the juicing even started??

 

[Mebert]

Mark McGwire overcame more than most because he is ginger. That should factor in.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

he has hit 30+ HRs 11 of his 16 seasons, 2 of those seasons he didn't even have 500 PA

 

[Nosferatu]

I did text Bolts...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Mark McGwire overcame more than most because he is ginger. That should factor in.

true, but I always considered him more of a daywalker...

 

[Nosferatu]

Really need to start digging for some bargains now before y'all do...

 

[UK Cowboy]

I agree with this to a point... I would still say McGwire is one of the best power hitters of all time... even if he is not even close to being one of the best hitters of all time...

Who do you feel more comfortable to hit the HR, Ted Williams or Mark McGwire?? when you need the HR, the ONLY player I would rather have is Bonds...

Ted Williams, hands down, running away. Ted hit for power while also hitting for average. If Williams were willing to sacrifice average down to .260 and try and hit bombs, he could have hit 60 a year...without a Needle

 

[Shanemansj13]

I still think he was one of the greatest power hitters of all-time so he would be great as a cleanup hitter, but going against the best pitchers of all-time...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Mark McGwire overcame more than most because he is ginger. That should factor in.

We should also factor that if someone called him a ging he could absolutely roid out and beat the ever living fuck out of them.

Oh my God lets hurry up. I am dying to make another pick and be laughed at. Nos if I end the draft with $20 million left do I get extra vcash if I should place or can I carry that money over to another draft

 

[Nosferatu]

Bolts should be picking soon.

 

[Bolts]

It's a bit risky, but I'll take your trade offer Nos. I had 2 players in mind for the next pick just hope one is still there at the end of the round.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Idk about that low but he isn't in the top couple tiers of 1st baseman IMO.

I thought that might have been low too, so I compared them. Interestingly, if you take out the two bullcrap seasons(understanding he had others), Mac had virtually the same # of AB's as Howard. He did walk more, otherwise, it's the same guy

Howard- 6409 AB, 371 HR, 1165 RBI, .699 BB, .258 average
McGwire- 6318 AB, 448 HR, 1120 RBI, 1022 BB, .256 average

 

[Nosferatu]

Nos trades 2 and 4 to Bolts for 2 and 6

McGwire- 6318 AB, 448 HR, 1120 RBI, 1022 BB, .256 average

Howard has damn near an entire walk!

 

[Mebert]

Nos you ass face, I now veto that trade

Looks like I am picking up Ryan Howard and all you guys are screwed

 

[Shanemansj13]

So we still can't trade cap space? lol

Imagine if Teddy would have had those 3 years back in his early prime
