Just a massive number of horrendous picks in this draft (and not Prince Fielder funny horrendous, simply "you were actually trying and failed miserably" horrendous).
Jolly picking fucking Billy Hamilton for the Reds and not Joe Morgan or Barry Larkin was incredibly painful. You can't steal bases if you never make it to first!
At least Honus Wagner played after 1898. Before then, you could get a stolen base if you went from first to third or second to home on a single, or two for going from first to home on a double. That’s why a lot of older teams have a bunch of pre-1898 players at or near the top of their all-time stolen bases list.
One "funny" choice that actually would have beaten a lot of your outfield picks, is Tony Gwynn. 319 SB, 1st all-time for the Padres. In fact, from 1993-1997, after his young speedster days were over, and he looked like we all remember him, he stole 59 bases at an 80% success rate! In that 5 year span, he stole more bases than 7 of your picks this draft.
The recency bias of not knowing that Lou Brock is 2nd all-time in steals, and that the vast majority of his career was with a single team, is insane. "Yeah, uuuuuuuh, lemme take Billy Hamilton." Christ.
I can understand the recency bias if you legit can't think of any as time goes on, but the 2nd pick? Like come on man, know some little history here and there 😂
At least Wagner's the #2 Pirate of all time for SBs and the all-time Stolen-Base leader at short-stop. Jason Kendall only stole 140 bags as a Pirate, which is the most of a catcher in the live ball era but isn't actually much of an advantage.
@@kevinhinkle7632 Funnily enough, they allowed Ripken at third, he should have asked to have Biggio as a catcher. That was his first position in the bigs, and his speed was why he got moved to 2nd base.
How do you let Shelfy get Rickey AND Lou Brock? I'm at the Chone Figgins pick, and this draft is already over. But I gotta stick around for the kooky answers.
Crazy that Henderson is almost the career stolen base leader for two different teams. Jeter ended up on top for the Yankees, besting Rickey's five-year total by a few dozen. Just shows what happens when a generational athlete meets a freakish period for a stat.
If and when you do come back for more compiler team drafts, I think having a 5 starter, 2 reliever rotation with single season wins + saves would be fun. I also think Runs scored and RBI could be fun. Could also try drafting 'bad' teams. All Star pitchers with the most losses, All Star batters with the most strikeouts, etc.
Fun fact. Vince Coleman was the last person to steal 100 bags in a season in 1987 with 109 swipes. But he stole 107 and 110 in the two season before that. 100 stolen bases in a season has only happen 8 times since integration.
I don't know how the rules works, but it seems drafting Biggio as a catcher would give you a huge edge over taking him as a second baseman. Plus, it opens the door to take people like Eddie Collins or Joe Morgan at 2B.
I liked Lucas's idea of only doing names from the expansion era, once you allow the old guys there's not a whole lot of reason to pick players from recent history.
For those curious, here is the best possible lineup I found since 1898 (player must have played 25% of games at the position with the team in question to qualify): C: CWS Ray Schalk (177) 1B: CHC Frank Chance (402) 2B: LAD Davey Lopes (418) SS: PIT Honus Wagner (639) 3B: MIL Paul Molitor (412) OF: STL Lou Brock (888) OF: DET Ty Cobb (869) OF: OAK Rickey Henderson (867) DH: MON (WSN) Tim Raines (635) Total: 5,307 stolen bases Best not to make the cut: PIT OF Max Carey (688) KCR OF Willie Wilson (612) KCA/OAK SS Bert Campaneris (566) STL OF Vince Coleman (549) WAS (MIN) OF Clyde Milan (495)
I've got an idea for another one of these episodes, but with a twist; Who can select the WORST starting lineup? Basically, choose whatever stat to focus on (home runs, steals, ERA, etc.), but only players with "X" amount of starts or AB's in the chosen season. I feel like it would make for a great series of episodes!
Bo Jackson would've been my Royals pick. Trout with the Angels? I don't know if he was a runner, though. Ohtani, perhaps? A good draft would be "Most home runs in their home stadium". Any era, all time. Can we make that happen?
I decided to check for myself, and here's what I got C: King Kelly (ATL) - 238 1B: Frank Chance (CHC) - 402 2B: Bid McPhee (CIN) - 568 3B: Paul Molitor (MIL) - 412 SS: Honus Wagner (PIT) - 639 OF: Rickey Henderson (OAK) - 867 OF: Lou Brock (STL) - 888 OF: Ty Cobb (DET) - 869 DH: Tim Raines (WSN) - 635 If my math is right, this comes out to 5518 stolen bases.
I think an average (or obp) and an era (or fip) draft could work really well, just set an inning/game minimum (100 games for batters, 100 innings for pitchers) and whoever has the highest average or lowest era wins.
Without watching any of the video I think my first 3 are Rickey Henderson with the A's, Ty Cobb with the Tigers, and Lou Brock with the Cardinals. I'm not sure after that, though. In these all-time drafts it feels like you should just always take Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, and/or Carl Yastrzemski because of the one-team requirement. I'm guessing Willie had some steals but no idea about the rest of them.
Not going ichiro on the mariners is crazy
I was just going to say that
@@rockysolmon1 same
Just a massive number of horrendous picks in this draft (and not Prince Fielder funny horrendous, simply "you were actually trying and failed miserably" horrendous).
A@@nossonkamins7708
I can’t believe they didn’t pick [best pick] on [franchise]! Bums!!
I can’t believe Jake and jolly let Lou Brock fall back to Shelfy
well i mean its a stolen base draft, you gotta go Griffey #2!
I feel like Jake misheard what the category was and didn't want to admit it lol
In fairness I thought of Vince Coleman with the Cardinals before Lou Brock
Coleman would have been much better, 400+ more SB than Griffey and takes Brock off the board for others
@@floydfanTN nope brock all the way
I'd be curious to see the retention stats on this video to see how many people just shut it off after Shelfy got Lou Brock.
This draft was absolute pain if you care at all about SB's.
They shoulda gotten Foolish and hell maybe even Lucas to play.
The way I was yelling ty Cobb and he takes Prince fielder 😭
the first answer in my head... i am 4 minutes into the video and shocked by some of these answers haha
I thought for a second they were only allowed to pick guys during the expansion era.
But yeah, they just didnt think of deadball era guys.
To think if he picked Ty Cobb he could have been 1,440 stolen bases ahead of Jolly!
Shelfy using his "MLB the Show" knowledge...
😈😈😈
Jolly picking fucking Billy Hamilton for the Reds and not Joe Morgan or Barry Larkin was incredibly painful. You can't steal bases if you never make it to first!
I think we all shared in Lucas’ frustrations this video lol
ngl it was real tough to keep watching after that Griffey pick
No Tim Raines from the Expos??? Arrrrggggh!!!! I guess no one wanted 635 stolen bases.
No they wanted 2 SB prince fielder
i was screaming tim raines at my phone the whole video!

That’s why a lot of older teams have a bunch of pre-1898 players at or near the top of their all-time stolen bases list.
Didn’t even know that
I stole ONE base playing youth baseball. It's a commendation that I'm almost good enough for Shelfy to take me in an all-time draft.
One "funny" choice that actually would have beaten a lot of your outfield picks, is Tony Gwynn. 319 SB, 1st all-time for the Padres.

For some reason I feel like these guys don't know Cardinals that much. It's sad
Didn't even pick the the right billy hamilton
I was a little surprised at the recency bias. Somebody hasn't been pouring over their grandfather's Baseball Almanacs.
I can understand the recency bias if you legit can't think of any as time goes on, but the 2nd pick? Like come on man, know some little history here and there 😂
Vince Coleman would've been better than Hamilton.
Lou brock not being the 2nd pick minimum is insane
not even a host mention of Maury Wills is slanderous
490 for the dodgers
Since Jake had to ask if Roy was a Dodger, can we really expect them to know Wills? Sad
Willie Wilson for the Royals
Y’all make me feel better about myself and my ball knowledge thank you
No one takin Tim Raines with the Expos is just sad
I was screaming his name at my tv.
Raines and Vince Coleman… been screaming those names
@canihaveonemore11 Coleman's damage was mostly with the Cards, so Brock was a better choice than him.
Yeah, missing out on the Rock was wild.
They missed a lot...Willie Wilson.....Ty Cobb....Ichiro
Would have gone Jason Kendall with Pittsburgh to get the huge catcher advantage
I was so mad about that. He was such an obvious choice.
Kendall was the first name i thought of. But Shelfy took Wagner early and that took the Pirates off the board...
At least Wagner's the #2 Pirate of all time for SBs and the all-time Stolen-Base leader at short-stop. Jason Kendall only stole 140 bags as a Pirate, which is the most of a catcher in the live ball era but isn't actually much of an advantage.
I would have started a big argument about whether Craig Biggio could count as the Catcher.
I'm so sad no one picked Jeff Bagwell and his 202 stolen bases as a first baseman.
Or Jason Kendall catcher for the pirates, 140.
@@bgdg323honus wagner was taken off the board pretty quickly for the pirates unfortunately
Biggio was gone pretty quickly
@@kevinhinkle7632 Funnily enough, they allowed Ripken at third, he should have asked to have Biggio as a catcher. That was his first position in the bigs, and his speed was why he got moved to 2nd base.
Yeah he could steal a bag well. 😬
I was screaming JASON KENDALL for catchers when he was on the pirates lol
You guys dropped the ball in the first round. Geez! Brutal!
If no one picks Lou Brock for the Cardinals I’m going to lose my mind
This was a crazy one for sure, it's incredible that in a stolen base draft, Ty Cobb, Tim Raines and Willie Wilson didn't get picked.
Said ty cobb off the rip
Cobb, Brock, Wills...
Yeah we been asking because all these videos are fun no matter what. OBP% draft, walks draft, rbi draft etc….
Tim Raines... that one bugged me
Yadier Molina had more stolen bases than Cal Ripken Jr. Would make a hell of a trivia question.
Shiiiiiiiiiiit, last one for a bit eh? Dang.
I’m sure whatever content they decide to make in the meantime will still be good
@@austinfrandsen6537 True but I also love this series haha
i love the series, theres just not a whole lotta subjects left. But I think they should do the same topics, but cant use anyone already picked before
@@Bobman32x That would be interesting
Last all time. May be going divisional and thus per year.
This was the best of these videos. The chaos is always welcome.
That moment where Shelfy forgets what a DH is. What an NL guy.
Holds draft when?
Not gonna lie.. the All-time drafts you do, might be the best content (it’s up there) keep doing them
This was such a dumb idea and I'm here for it
Perfect cast for a video right here. This crew is legit
This is exactly why I was clamoring for the SB draft this whole time, I thought it would be a riot...wasn't disappointed.
You can hear the pain in Lucas’s voice
Shelfy's top three plus Plouffe ties Jake's entire lineup.
Maybe we could get a coaches/managers draft going. Loving the videos fellas!
Junior, #2? How is Lou Brock not #1? Or 2 at worst? He made it back to Shelfie? Bro...
Shelfy banking on Jake and Jolly not taking Brock was a tidy piece of work.
Should of ended the video after shelfy got lou brock w the 6 pick 😂
Strikeout draft for batters will go crazy, holds would be some good name pulls too
Yall should do innings pitched! Chad Innings Eater competition
should do a "lowest ERA" draft. Would just need to have a cutoff for games or seasons played to qualify
Woah, Jake saying Joey Gathright, that is a throwback!
How do you let Shelfy get Rickey AND Lou Brock? I'm at the Chone Figgins pick, and this draft is already over. But I gotta stick around for the kooky answers.
Crazy that Henderson is almost the career stolen base leader for two different teams. Jeter ended up on top for the Yankees, besting Rickey's five-year total by a few dozen. Just shows what happens when a generational athlete meets a freakish period for a stat.
What about doing a Gold Glove draft? Or a walks draft? Those might be fun for hilarity purposes. Or a doubles draft.
If and when you do come back for more compiler team drafts, I think having a 5 starter, 2 reliever rotation with single season wins + saves would be fun. I also think Runs scored and RBI could be fun. Could also try drafting 'bad' teams. All Star pitchers with the most losses, All Star batters with the most strikeouts, etc.
Crazy how Willie mays went so late
And Jake is even reluctant to pick him.
Fun fact. Vince Coleman was the last person to steal 100 bags in a season in 1987 with 109 swipes. But he stole 107 and 110 in the two season before that. 100 stolen bases in a season has only happen 8 times since integration.
Catcher is so tough.
Yadi. 19 seasons one team. 71 bags haha.
shelfy went bananas my lord
Tim Raines over here sitting in his Expos jersey wondering when he's getting picked...
I don't know how the rules works, but it seems drafting Biggio as a catcher would give you a huge edge over taking him as a second baseman. Plus, it opens the door to take people like Eddie Collins or Joe Morgan at 2B.
You can only slot in a player at a position if they played enough games there. IIRC, the threshold they usually go with is 25%.
I was thinking this but in games where Biggio played a defensive position only 15.5% were as catcher.
no vince coleman or tim rock raines is criminal.
Lou Brock is a better Cardinals option and once he is picked, Coleman isn't available. But yeah, no one picking Tim Raines is nuts.
@@SwAeromotion i mean, no one was catching shelfy this video, you could take coleman and he still would have won.
Fun fact, Vince Coleman was a kicker in college (FAMU) and once kicked a game-winning FG against Miami (FL).
Fun way Shelfy could've stunted is spending his DH on Max Scherzer with the Nats (3 stolen bases, one more than Prince)
Lou Brock going in the 3rd round is wild
dyson was a blast on the recent KC cycle, but Willie Wilson was da man for YEARS!
I liked Lucas's idea of only doing names from the expansion era, once you allow the old guys there's not a whole lot of reason to pick players from recent history.
good thing for them is that they cant even think of the old guys pre expansion. I mean Prince Fielder for the Tigers is just wow.
Well, a lot of times these guys have a very recency bias brain. Don't think it might matter that much 😂
Hank Aaron is routingly forgotten so not an issue. They pretty much always lean more recent.
catcher - Kendall Pirates. Raines or Dawson for Expos. Maury Wills Dodgers.
Ivan Rodriguez with the Rangers will be around 80 i guess too
Yeah but once Wagner was picked, the Pirates were done.
This is a tough draft that’s for sure Shelfy killed it
Billy Hamilton over Joe Morgan with the Reds. Crazy!!!!!! Also Lou Brock not going one or two is crazy!!!
I was TWEAKING at none of them choosing Pudge at catcher
lineup with the LEAST amount of stolen bases would also be a banger i feel like
3:30 shelfy glazing billy hamilton was wild
Bro. How did no one pick Tim Raines for the Expos/Nats? A big old 650 right there for the taking
For those curious, here is the best possible lineup I found since 1898 (player must have played 25% of games at the position with the team in question to qualify):
C: CWS Ray Schalk (177)

OF: DET Ty Cobb (869)
OF: OAK Rickey Henderson (867)
DH: MON (WSN) Tim Raines (635)
Total: 5,307 stolen bases
Best not to make the cut:
PIT OF Max Carey (688)
KCR OF Willie Wilson (612)
KCA/OAK SS Bert Campaneris (566)
STL OF Vince Coleman (549)
WAS (MIN) OF Clyde Milan (495)
What about Willie Wilson for Royals? He had a bunch in the early 1980s.
you could do a wins draft, either for pitchers, or for teams
honestly was shocked nobody took 42 on the dodgers
How about RBIs for every division?
The Prince Fielder answer was amazing
lol it’s was over 5 minutes in
Let’s see a worst fielders draft. Most errors
Shelfys beard is on POINT
Down boy!

A good draft would be "Most home runs in their home stadium". Any era, all time. Can we make that happen?
5 min in and its over!! HAHA baseball before 1990 didn't exist for Jolly 😂
wheres the best possible lineup card?
It would have Willie Mays Hays on it.
I decided to check for myself, and here's what I got
C: King Kelly (ATL) - 238
1B: Frank Chance (CHC) - 402

Shelfy has definitely seen a career stolen base list with "Billy Hamilton" near the top, not knowing its a completely different guy
Yo Jolly what you doing there with that marker?? - @14:45
Y’all need to do an innings draft for pitchers
Jolly! You took the wrong Billy Hamilton.
cant postpone this series on a sour note. need a good draft fast
Thinking Billy Hamilton had 400 more stolen bases after leaving the reds is hilarious
Do the most balks draft next.
Can you pick Bob Davidson?
Com'on guys do the On-base Percentage all-time draft
Joe Morgan with the Reds would have been a spectacular pull.
The whole video in my head I kept saying Maury Wills
Not one scream at my phone but there were 2 that drives nuts.
1. Griffey picked in the first round
2. Jason Kendall at catcher
Last one for a bit? Time to go all the way back to the beginning and rewatch..
This was a super painful episode. Entertaining. But very painful.

THE BOYZZZZ ARE BACK IN TOWWWWN
Just a nitpick, but Rickey was the 3rd best choice (at least). Ty Cobb had 869 as a Tiger, Henderson had 867 with Oakland
