All-Time Ind- Guardians RCF Fantasy Draft, Pt. II

[Mott the Hoople]

With the 1st pick in the 6th round I take Indians legend OF Rocky Colavito

• 9X All Star - Sometimes twice in the same year!
• In 58 had 41 HR's and led AL with .620 SLG.
• Returned in 65 and led AL with 108 RBI
• 4 seasons Top 10 in WAR
• 6 seasons Top 10 in OF Assists
• Had a game with 4 HR's against Orioles
• "Don't Knock The Rock"
• Has a statue in Little Italy

So my OF is set with Joe Carter, Kenny Lofton, and Rocky. Not too shabby.

@JDailey23 you're up.

 

[Stark]

@JDailey23 has until noon tomorrow or he'll be skipped.

With my 6th round pick, the Wailing Wahoos select, Travis Hafner, 1B/DH.

Pronk was definitely at his best for Cleveland in 2006. That year, he slugged .308/.439/.659/1.097 with 42 HR, 117 RBI, 100 BB, 31 2B, 181 OPS+, and 5.9 bWAR in only 129 games played due to a fluke injury.

Hafner's 1.097 OPS is the 5th best in single-season Cleveland history behind just Manny Ramirez (x2), Albert Belle, and Jim Thome.

First six picks:

1. Manny Ramirez
2. Al Rosen
3. Luis Tiant
4. Francisco Lindor
5. Cliff Lee
6. Travis Hafner

@BimboColesHair is on the clock.

With my 6th pick I will take:

Mel Harder, SP, 1934 version

The man who has spent the most time in a Cleveland baseball jersey in the history of the franchise, as a pitcher and later as the pitching coach for Feller, Lemon, and Wynn, had a terrific career in Cleveland and still owns quite a few franchise records for pitching. His best season came in 1934 when he went 20-12 with a 2.61 ERA over 255 IP, posting a 173 ERA+ en route to a season worth 8 bWAR. Harder's number 18 was retired by Cleveland in 1990.

All selections:

Round 1: Nap Lajoie, 2B - 1910 version (.383/.444/.514 slash, 9.8 bWAR, 51 2B, 26 SB, 227 H)
Round 2: Shoeless Joe Jackson, RF - 1911 version (.408/.468/.590 slash, 9.2 bWAR, 45 2B, 41 SB, 233 H)
Round 3: Gaylord Perry, SP - 1972 version (342 IP, 24 W, 1.92 ERA, 10.8 bWAR, 7 CGSO, 0.978 WHIP)
Round 4: Grady Sizemore, CF - 2006 version (.290/.375/.533 slash, 6.7 bWAR, 53 2B, 11 3B, 28 HR, 22 SB, 134 R)
Round 5: Early Wynn, SP - 1956 version (277 IP, 20 W, 2.72 ERA, 7.8 bWAR, 18 CG, 154 ERA+)
Round 6: Mel Harder, SP - 1934 version (255 IP, 20 W, 2.61 ERA, 8.0 bWAR, 6 CGSO, 173 ERA+)

@sportscoach is back on the clock.

 

[Stark]

Just an FYI, we're just going to keep skipping over Mar until he comes back online and makes his picks up. Everybody else has been doing well on being relatively timely, but Mar hasn't posted in here since Jul. 21. If he gets too far behind, we might just end up having to remove him and then Thome, Averill, Bagby, and Omar all get suspended for PEDs.

@sportscoach is up.

 

[sportscoach]

Once I make it to my laptop I'll pick lol I've got fur baby paralysis and I am comfy in my big recliner lol

 

[daddywags]

Just checking in to see if I've been picked yet. (Check out my 1965 season!)

 

[sportscoach]

2014 LF Michael Brantley!

@BimboColesHair you are up since @Lord Mar is MIA!
