Couch picking Wodka is a better selection than "Team Brunswick" picking Van Hees. Couch and Wodka are best buds that now work together for Ebonite , were on staff together for umpteen years, and roomed together back when they both started on tour. Couch was never going to pick anyone else.
There's this, Van Hees just won a national title, I can't remember the last time Wodka was even in contention for one. So, there goes your point out the window. Van Hees can flat out bowl.
Having bowled in Leagues with Dave, I can guarantee you he can throw down, but I don't think anyone is questioning his bowling
bona fides here.
As far as winning goes, I do remember the times when Jurek was chosen, and was either during or shortly after ending that long dry patch he had between titles. So to be honest, number of titles shouldn't be a factor in choosing someone in a draft.
If they can get you some sort of strategic advantage (read: intimidation/awe factor), etc., and can still throw the ball well, anyone is fair game. Hell, I'd think it would be great if one of them drafted Salvino, Voss, Petraglia, or someone from the old old old old school. Yes, they'd be past their prime, but even the new guys coming in would still be in awe, even if just standing in their presence.
