First-Round Fever: A Krane Pool Kwiz

[Edgy MD]

No, you can go ahead and guess that one. Part of the planning in this was that the bonus questions would tip off some of the answers in the main sequence, and vice-versa. If I got too gabby in ruling on that response, that shame is on me.

I suspect the Mets didn't even have a hype machine before Doublepon came in! Even if they did, Steve Henderson came into the league as a Reds fifth-rounder, and no amount of hype was going to make the Seaver trade a popular one!



While it is, however, true that Jon Matlack graduate from Nevada's Henderson High School, that answer will still get you NO POINTS! It will, however COST YOU ONE!

is ron darling still on the board? is it cool if i snag him for my own points?

	What's the number one-iest season in Mets history? We're looking for the season in which the greatest number of first-round draft picks appeared for the Mets.
	Incorrect Answers to This Question So Far: None

Shawon Dunston

Shawon Dunston is, of course, a Met who was a first-round draft pick, netting you three points! He's also a first-round draft pick from outside the organization, which nets you TWO EXTRA points! Finally, he's a #1 overall pick, which bumps up your score by THREE MORE POINTS!



Such an answer is the HIGHEST-SCORING answer you can get without a bonus question! That's pretty good for someone who claims not to know how the game is played! And you know what you get now?! A BONUS QUESTION!

[th]Bonus Question for centerfield[/th]
	Which two 1986 Mets were never drafted at all?
	Incorrect Answers to This Question So Far: None

man, i liked shawon dunston when he was here. you know who did not leave as positive an impression? cameron maybin. i damn near forget he was even on the team this year. but damn, he's got the stink of a former first-rounder doesn't he?

I can't say with certitude that what you're smelling is Cameron Maybin's draft status, but his status is in fact that of a FIRST-ROUNDER! Cameron went in the first round to Detroit back in 2005 and he's earning you five points in 2021!



Know what makes foul smells go away? The sweet air of a tie for THIRD PLACE! And that air will smell all the sweeter if you can answer your BONUS QUESTION!!

I'm also reasonably certain that bill mazer was in fact born three planets from the sun (sol), and within 100' of the solid parts of the surface of said planet. you can just give me my bonus points now. i'll wait.
The Amazing Bill Mazer was a legendary local New York sportscaster, as well renowned for his sports erudition as for his boring delivery.



You're zooming in quite well. Give me the nation on that solid surface in which Mazer was birthed and five points will be yours.

Also good reasoning with Harvey, who had been first taken in round three by the Angels before the Mets grabbed him in a later year. No bonus points for him, but he will be tallied as your regular guess. Ventura was only drafted once.

There is the technical possibility that Bill Mazur was born on a raft in the South Pacific or while his mother was skydiving. Not guesses, just.....possibilities.
