Juiced about my draft

TheDROCK · 11-27-2007, 04:59 PM

Near the end of my amateur draft for my fictional league, I noticed a pretty low-rated catcher still available. I took a close look at him and thought just maybe he would have the right stuff so I quickly scooped him up. I stuck him in Single-A, a level above what he should have been in.

I just got a message saying he had a 5-for-5 day and after a month, he's hitting close to .400 with a couple of home runs. I may have found a real sleeper here.

And his name?

Jose Canseco

(Wait, you dont think he's on something, do you? Nah, couldn't be.)

Guessing that's a randomly generated name? Because if so that's awesome

Yeah, I also have a Jose Canseco at SS in my fictional league that I started in 1995. I am in the year 2000 now and he has bounced around from the bigs to my AAA team getting a handful of at bats every year. Overall, he is all glove, no bat.....

Yeah but wait until he finds the "juice".

edit: thinking about this - I would add 35 pounds to his playing weight and pump up his contact and power ratings......

I have about 3 major league names in my fictional 20 team/2 minor league teams universe. Since my league does not allow ML players I justify their existence and playing at a different position as the butterfly affect of the MLB folding and being corrupt thus the reason for my league existence.

Is his twin brother Ozzie the one who will be the star in this universe?
