I was surprised to go back and see that phil didn't pick John Olerud until like the 170th pick of the Post-Strike draft.

Man, if Jose Canseco had just played for one more team I would institute a rule that we all have to select a different team's Jose Canseco for this tournament.

I didn't expect his greatness to be recognized here, so I took a chance that he would slide.

Can we make a rule that if the US ceases to exist tomorrow I get credit for making the playoffs?

I'm guessing at some point Lament will want a duplicate only draft. Meaning, you can only draft a player if he played for multiple teams. Just imagine that leaderboard!

Y'know, we should have a tournament at some point where two of the teams are made up of identical players, but from their times with different teams.

If the US dissolves and I'm allowed to come live in your guest room, then I will declare the Phil City Pritchards default World Champions.

If phil picks who I think he's gonna pick, then the three guys who I thought "Rationally I should take one of these guys instead of Barry Bonds" will have been the following three picks.
