IN,

don't know if I would want Kershaw in a salary cap format...1/25 guys...and he would be 30 percent, wow, even though I think he is the best player in baseball we might ever see, I thought it was going to be Pujols or Bonds for me but Kershaw wins another Cy this year and he almost takes the cake.

I think Kershaw could very well end up 1 of the top pitchers of all time. He already has the lowest era of anyone after 100 starts, over Kofax and Ford.

Starting off like no other pitcher in history of the game...sure things could change with TJs but we are seeing a phenominal run already, it goes another 3 to 5 years and woah.

Its sorta as bad as saying if Trout keeps up his pace he could be one of the all time greats but Kershaw has a few years of complete domination ahead of him. Nobody has pitched like Kershaw, trout needs to get a few MVPs first.

What is the record for consecutive Cy Youngs?

Oh, I loved watching Bonds, period and Pujols did a 10 year run like almost nobody else ever.

I'd love to do this guys, but we are moving today and though I'll have internet access, I just can't be sure I will have the time to do this, especially after this week (it's harder than it sounds to say you'll replace a porch in less than a day). Enjoy, this should be a lot of fun.

Not sure I could put Bonds #2... Not sure I could put him top 5... I was a huge Bonds fan while he was in Pittsburgh but when he turned into giant head Barry not so much.

We will post a link to the salaries of all players on the OP, when you announce your pick please include the salary of your player so we don't have to go look up every player.

This is gonna be a good one!

I think Kershaw could very well end up 1 of the top pitchers of all time. He already has the lowest era of anyone after 100 starts, over Kofax and Ford.

But not over Seaver 2.38 CK 2.52 and he has 200 starts CK had 2.88 after 100

Starting off like no other pitcher in history of the game...sure things could change with TJs but we are seeing a phenominal run already, it goes another 3 to 5 years and woah.

Its sorta as bad as saying if Trout keeps up his pace he could be one of the all time greats but Kershaw has a few years of complete domination ahead of him. Nobody has pitched like Kershaw, trout needs to get a few MVPs first.

What is the record for consecutive Cy Youngs?

4 in a row randy Johnson and greg maddux clemens has the most @7 but not in a row

Oh, I loved watching Bonds, period and Pujols did a 10 year run like almost nobody else ever.

ill take ted williams 10 best 347 ba 484 obp and 190 ops+

pujols 325 417 171

Two questions we need to address before drafting.
1. What should the total team salary be?
2. Should we change Trout's salary this year from $1million to ???

I'm thinking $110,000,000

Trout = $20,000,000

Just my opinions.

Do we need to specify positions on the 25 man roster or does it really matter? I might only have 4 SP's while Nos decides to have 5. Yes on set amount per positions?
