Grand Slam Needs 1 for 1949-52 FILLED! Topic

We are looking for 1 new owner for the Grand Slam progressive. The concept: every season we play covers 4 years of ML history. When you draft a player, you can keep them as long as you like, but for a given four-year span/progressive season you can only employ one version of him. It's a 16-team league. We are about a week away from the end of the 1945-1948 season. We will draft just after the season for 1949 - 1952, which has some serious HoF talent (Mays, Mantle, Mathews...).

Partial list of potential keepers for the teams are below--they both have some rather impressive players.

Give us a try, I'd be happy to pay for your first season.

Good question, thanks for checking in, DBP

NY NL is a strong team, and after G148 they're sure seeming like they'll draft 12th.

Cincy is the 2nd worst team in the league and will almost certainly be in the 4-team lottery for the top picks. If they hold on to 2nd worst, they'd have 3 of the 10 balls in the urn for the top pick.
