Fantasy “All Time” Cardinals Draft

[jj-cf-stl]

JD Drew finished with some really nice numbers. I had lost track of his career player page once he was with BOS.

A higher career bWAR than Matt Holliday (44.9 vs 44.5) really surprised me.

[kscardfan]

bicyclemike I thought it was my own little twist on his name. Must have been an announcer that put that pronunciation in our heads.

JD Drew finished with some really nice numbers. I had lost track of his career player page once he was with BOS.

A higher career bWAR than Matt Holliday (44.9 vs 44.5) really surprised me.

Yep, he had a couple of really big seasons. Injuries were always an issue, but he was one of the more talented players of his era.

He and Waino have very similar career WAR, 44.9 bWAR/46.0 fWAR for Drew, 44.5/44.9 for Waino.

[Nigel T]

I believe Garagiola used the moniker during the World Series telecasts when he was the MVP.

JD Drew and Marrero
for
Wainwright, Ray King and Jason Marquis

Jockey traded one season of control of Drew and signed Reggie Sanders to replace him.
Trader Walt nailed that one.

[stlcard25]

Trader Walt nailed that one.

Yep, agree that he pulled off a really good trade there. I wonder if Mo would do the same with one of our young OFers if the opportunity presented itself?

[jj-cf-stl]

Mo has moved quite a few outfielders that last few seasons.
We hope the Liberatore trade gives us another Wainwright, but 45 war is a very high bar.

[Nigel T]

Jackson was the best pitcher available, but I had never really heard of him before this exercise.

[jj-cf-stl]

70. jj-cf-stl – Miller Huggins, 2B

[forsch31]

Nigel, I was in the same situation. I just discovered him within the research.
