RANDOM CAPTAIN 23 -- WAITLIST Topic







This time out, we're going with captains who:

a) played 19 MLB seasons
b) have not been used in this theme previously

(List of 28 possible captains in next post)

After you get your captain you will draft one of his seasons, then draft 24 of his teammates (no twisting) to fill out your roster.


OTHER RULES

90M cap
NO: DH, CLONES, WW, TRADES, AAA
Random Alignment (of course!)
Park must be one that your captain called home at some point in his career
Have your captain's name reflected in your team name

Once we're full, I'll ask a Hall of Fame owner not in this league to go to random.org and randomize a list of 24 numbers between 1 and 28.  The numbers 1-28 will represent the players in the post below; the order they appear in will determine which owner gets which captain.  That is, the first owner on the list below (me) will get the first number, the second owner (thebubbaq) the second number, and so on.  Owners are listed below in the order they signed up.

I just remembered why I hate "random" themes.

LaTroy Hawkins might be the worst player ever for this theme.  The very best Starting Pitcher he ever played with (min 200 innings) = Carlos Zambrano (2.73 ERC#) and Joe Mays (2.83 ERC#).  I sure hope I can make it to $90M.

My starting pitchign staff will probably include guys like Eirc Milton, Brad Radke and/or Shawn Marcum.  Ughhh.
