Quote:Can someone explain the " base hit " strategy? I didnt follow the team as closely as I do now back then

The idea was to never take risks on high ceiling players (i.e., hit a home run) but to pick players that you knew would be solid (a base hit), thereby creating a team of solid players without risking that your picks never pan out. Unfortunately, this strategy nets guys like Alualu, who, though solid depth, was way overdrafted. Plus, Gene still drafted tons of busts.


As for the rest of this thread, I've composed a poem that I feel is appropriate.


Whining fron Bklyn surely can be

Exhausting, as we find that he

Lacks common sense. He just doesn't know!

Pity him, though he acts like a ho.
