Week I: The First Ten Draft Picks

     Alright. Let's get down to business. The two teams, the Sluggers and the Bombers, got to take their first ten players each. The Sluggers got to draft first, and they opened with...

    1: Babe Ruth (RF,P, .342/.474/.690, 94-46, 2.28).

   

    Next, the Bombers got to take their first two picks, and they drafted

    1: Hank Aaron (RF, .305/.374/.555)
    and
    2: Jimmie Foxx (1B, .325/.428/.609)

    

    Slugggers:

    2: Ted WIlliams (LF, .344/.482/.634)

    3: Willie Mays (CF, .301/.384/.557)

    Bombers:

    3: Stan Musial (OF, .331/.417/.559)

    4: Rogers Hornsby (2B, .358/.434/.577)

    Sluggers:

    4: Lou Gehrig (1B, .340/.447/.632)

    5: Mickey Mantle (CF, 1B, .298/.421/.557)

    Bombers:

    5: Ty Cobb (CF, .366/.433/.512)

    6: Tris Speaker (CF, .345/.428/.500)

    Sluggers:

    6: Grover Cleveland Alexander (P, 373-208, 2.56)

    7: Pedro Martinez (P, 219-100, 2.93)

    Bombers:

    7: Mel Ott (OF, .304/.414/.533)

    8: Honus Wagner (SS, .328/.391/.467)

    Sluggers:

    8: Johnny Bench (C, .267/.342/.476)

    9: Nap Lajoie (2B, .338/.380/.466)

    

    The Bombers were the first to finish out the top ten picks with 9 and 10.

    9: Walter Johnson (P, 417-279, 2.17)

    10: Rube Waddell (P, 193-143, 2.16)

    And the Sluggers followed closely with pick number 10.

    10: Joe Sewell (SS/3B, .312/.391/.413)

    I know that was difficult to follow, so here are the rosters thus far:

SLUGGERS:

1: Babe Ruth (RF, P)

2: Ted Williams (LF)

3: Willie Mays (CF)

4: Lou Gehrig (1B)
