He told our Chris Hrabe that he's basically doing on social what he and his best friends back home do all the time – make lists and debate them. He and Hrabe had a little competition, to see who could draft the best all-time MLB starting rotation (excluding present company).
You can listen to the draft in the audio at the top of this page, just skip to the 24-minute mark in the audio above. Here's how the draft went, with alternating picks and Flaherty going first:
- Pick No. 1 - Pedro Martinez
- No. 2 - Greg Maddux

- No. 4 - Sandy Koufax
- No. 5 - Bob Gibson
- No. 6 - Roger Clemens
- No. 7 - Clayton Kershaw
- No. 8 - Nolan Ryan
- No. 9 - Tom Seaver
- No. 10 - Steve Carlton
Flaherty also mentioned his injury replacement pitcher would be Max Scherzer.
