Team 2's blacklisted players:

Tony Fernandez
Cristian Guzman
Omar Vizquel
Jose Reyes

Hope you don't like good fielding switch hitting SS's

Brutal!  (and yes, you do need to submit a replacement for Vizquel.)  Who am I going to use for a SS now??  

Goodbye Carlos Guillen then!

NOTE TO ALL OF THOSE WITH TWO TEAMS:  to keep things above board (not that any of you fine gentleman would even think of this) When your two teams play each other, please respect the game and play it straight.  Please do not throw the game or rest all of your players.  Please play your regular lineups for those two games.  Thank you in advance for keeping the game clean and fun for all!

No problem, not my first rodeo with two teams in a league.

Commish, here are my 4 blacklist players:  1. George McQuillan 2. Babe Adams 3. Chappie McFarland 4. Cy Falkenburg.

Out of curiosity, are you planning to run this league again in the future? And if so, do you keep adding to the blacklist?  Great idea for a league.  Although the winner probably will not fair well in the TOC.  :-)

Sorry Area51...didn't see your last paragraph--I see the answer to my question already.  Great theme idea!

I'll join.  Blacklist to follow tonight.

Excellent!  It seems we only have two spots left.  Who wants 'em?

Out of curiousity, when you blacklist a player from a league will that player NOT show up in your searches?  Or will he indeed show up but you get an error message if you attempt to draft him?

I believe he shows but you get an error message.

Players that are blacklisted will not show up in your regular draft searches. There are 2 situations in which you could potentially see blacklisted players, but neither are applicable to this league: 1) manually selected AAA players, and 2) on the waver wire.

This league does not have AAA or WW- but you can actually draft AAA guys that are blacklisted; blacklisted guys on the WW will get you an error message/failure to add message if you try to pick them up.

Let me add- my comments are based on my experiences in leagues I have set which blacklisted certain player-seasons, e.g., 1908 Joss. HOWEVER, I have not tried it with a total ban on a player's entire career. I assume it is the same result, but I am not 100% certain.

Thans JM!

I'll join

Guy Cooper
Harry Otis

Hughie Jennings
Chris Gomez

My blacklisted players are:  Claude Hendrix & Bill Bernhard;  Kenny Lofton and Heinie Peitz

The list has been updated and it looks like we have one spot left!

I count 89 guys on the blacklist- shouldn't we have 92 (23 owners x 4)?
