The next draft pool is out and whoa boy is it loaded. Johnny Bench, Lou Whitaker, and Ernie Lombardi are in it. Bench is the best catcher ever, Whitaker should be in the HoF, and Lombardi is a borderline guy who is in the HoF. The sad thing is the Yankees (7-time WS champs including three in a row going into this year) are in last place, and thus have the first pick with "Use pre-defined draft value for AI" turned on. They already have Cal Ripken for criminy's sake. Bench and Ripken? Oye!
