Sorry for the delay. Got up extra early just to get this pick made. Going out of town later this morning.

1975 Baltimore Orioles

I tossed it up between 1974 and 75 for a while. The bonus is you get Singleton in '75. My "prize" is the great Dave McNally, who I recently learned thanks to the enterprising research of farleyfustle allowed the most homers of any pitcher in the first round of this tournament: 76. This was of course my McNally. Had I learned this a day later, I likely would have gone with '75 instead.

It's interesting when you have two adjacent seasons ranked 1st and 2nd, and somebody else takes the one ranked 2nd before you. This happened in a few of these round 2 drafts. I'll elaborate when I do my writeup.

Two Phillies spots left. One Browns/Orioles spot left

I am torn between an Orioles and Phillies team. Since you guys are badmouthing Mussina and because my Rd.1 Phillies team just made the World Series, I will take the 2013 Philadelphia Phillies

I just realized that I posted the wrong year this morning. I meant to put 2014, not 2013. No Phillies team has been picked, so please let me know if it’s ok to switch. I’m on vacation, and my heads not on straight. Hopefully this is ok

That's fine. I know the feeling.

1966 Orioles

2021 Phillies
