Dropping Dime Draft Blog: Round 7, Pick 11

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Los Angeles Clippers, Roto, Talent

My colleague Alvin Lai likened himself to Dusty Rhodes, “pinch hitter extraordinaire.”  I have to admit, when I first read that sentence, I thought “Duh, Yea.  The American Dream!”  Blonde hair, yellow polka dots, and “Sweeeeeeet Saphire!”  Heck, even wikipedia lists him before the baseball player…c’mon, Al!

Where am I going with this?  Well, I’m going to set you back to Game one of the 1988 World Series.  Dennis Velasco was set to take the swings at this pick.  But it’s a team effort here, and when one of us can’t take the cuts, we step up.

Allow me to limp up to the DroppingDimes plate as none other than Kirk Gibson.  Vin Scully, take it from here… “Look who’s coming up…”
