What was your Dodgers born out of the US score? I was going to use him, but went in another direction and got 3.

I went with Pedro Guerrero. That guy is bananas.

Got a 92 on that one.  I wasn’t expecting Fernando Valenzuela to be the most popular Dodger at 29%.  I also had Joe Carter for 25% as Blue Jays 300 homer guy.  

I did enjoy using Eddie Murray and Frank Robinson in my other two Dodgers squares.

Orioles grid today!

That’s a guy that was a beast in the 80s and, I think, has largely been forgotten. WAR hasn’t been particularly kind to him but his OPS+ is pretty good. At his peak, he was a .900ish OPS bat. Top 5 MVP finishes, too.

I whiffed on Giants first round pick. I should have used Posey but got ahead of myself and used him for the .300 hitter.

9/9, 36

I was very proud of the Austin Wynns pull.   I was going to use Will Clark, but I keep getting Will Clark and Jack Clark confused and didn't want to blow it with that.

51. 
 

Low was Al Dark at .008 and high was Lincecum at 13.

Good for you.  I wouldn’t have known that Stu Miller played for the Giants or that Steve Avery was a first round pick (though I’m not surprised he was).   

But do you really hate to brag?

To tell the truth I got totally lucky on Stu Miller.  There’s a story that it was so windy at Candlestick that he got blown off the mound.  In my mind I thought of him as a Giant but I believe the story involved the all-star game so actually I didn’t really know he played for them.

[Moose Milligan]

Audio exists of Stu Miller being blown off the mound at Candlestick, I've never seen a video of it though and I've always wanted to.  I'm not sure if it exists.

Steve Avery was an excellent pull for Braves 1st round pick, I had that baseball card.

It would have been possible to complete all 9 squares today using guys who played for the Orioles.   I tried, but failed.   It is still my ultimate goal.   Some day....

Obviously the Oriole column would have all Orioles in it.

For the .300 hitters you could go Frank for the Reds, Javy Lopez for the Braves, and Will Clark for the Giants.

For the first round draft pick it gets tough... I didn't know Ross Grimsley was a first round pick.   He could fill the Reds square, Jeffrey Hammonds the Giant square, and Earl Williams the Braves square.

I wasn’t sure if the first round pick had to be from that team. For example, would Gausman have counted for Cincinnati?

Man, they don't ease into the week and give some nice stats columns on a Monday.  This looks brutal today.
