I hope you can find a AAA shortstop worthy of replacing the great George Wright.  Good luck with your club!

Hopefully that puts us at 24 again, including my second team as drafted by dcmatcheck.  If someone else wants to join, I will happily draft 12 more pages and give up my second team ... but let's hope we can get the league going by the end of this week!
1/5/2015 7:39 PM
Actually it looks like I'm the 25th man.  Too bad, because one of my random draws [1961 National League hitters] would have allowed me to take a vintage Ernie Banks!  But I hope we have burning couch and sjh0825's teams instead.  Thanks to everyone for their patience.

toughest draft I remember Let me know if there are any errors. thanks
1/7/2015 1:36 AM (edited)
sjh:  The draft is even tougher than that ... there is no twisting of teammates ... so if you're going to take 2010 Gregerson you need a 2010 teammate, etc.  Looks like you have 4 or 5 to change.  We do have a couple of others with roster issues, so you can take a day to fix it; two if necessary.
1/6/2015 8:30 PM
I guess the lists of players from the pages were just the length they played, not the years you could draft from. Many were years they played but not sim eligible so now I see you couldn't use those years of team mates.
1/7/2015 12:36 AM (edited)
It should be correct now. Let me know if I need any changes. Thanks
