The Team Icon League is entering the 1991 season. We started this league in 1969. The basic concept is that you can only draft or trade for players who played for your team in real life. Any player who played only for one team belongs to that team (You do not have to draft that player, you can just add them to your roster their rookie season.) Any player who played for only your team and a defunct franchise (Currently ARI, COL, FLA, MIL, MIN, PHI, SDP, SEA, TBD, & TOR) will also belong to your team. Drafts consist of all WiS first season players and any player not drafted from previous seasons or cut by existing teams. The one team we need is the Kansas City Royals. Their roster is below.

The Royals had the #1 pick but traded it to the Yankees for a boatload of picks. They have the last three picks in the First Round (#18, 19 & 20) and picks #1, 2, 8 & 14 in the Second Round. They pick 2nd in each following round. They also own the Yankees First Round Pick in 1992 (which will probably be a Top 5 Pick) Chuck Knoblauch is probably the star of the 1991 Draft for the Royals and since he is only eligible for the Yankees and Royals he'll probably fall to the Royals at the end of Round 1 since the Yankees with the #1 Pick will probably take Mussina. With that many picks in the late 1st/ Early 2nd you can probably trade up to get someone else besides Knoblauch as well.

No Royals fans out there? They are going to be a good team going forward.

Guess not. We are ready to draft if you take this team.
