i'd put max bishop in there. he seems to have fallen off after the last few updates, but was one of the best value position players out there.

there actually was quite a serious thread about this several years ago

His average numbers are .330/ .387/ .490 with 22 HRs. For $5.2M, that is a good deal. Also consider post update he will net close to 20 + plays and induce 10 errors above average with his bat which makes him a bigger value. His equivilent line therefore is: .379/ .433/ .536. Still think that is average for $5.2M?

'98 Rickey isn't a stud that will carry a team, but for $4.4M he will get on base, steal bases, score runs and play a great COF.

The batter I've drafted most is 1899 John McGraw. He's never disappointed.

The starter I've drafted most is 1919 Babe Adams. Ditto.

I usually play in 100M leagues, so I can't vouch for how they'd do in OLs -- probably great, but maybe they're too pricey at that cap.

Hard to argue with a SIM OBP of .500, which is more than 30 points higher than a comparably priced Boggs. Do you let him steal against good catchers?

I don't let McGraw steal against anyone. I see from his performance history that his average SB/SBA is 25 for 43, or 58%. Not worth it, IMO.

I currently have him in a 100M league in the Astrodome. After 151 games his line is .350/.503/.390. No SBA.
