We will use this thread for the Dodgers draft. mjkrunner will be running this once I have the drafts all set up.

Draft rules are simple:
25 round serpentine draft
You may draft any player in the WIS database who played for the Dodger franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Piazza, you must roster one of his Dodger seasons, etc.)
Partial/full/combined seasons are all ok.
Franchises are defined by www.baseball-reference.com. Please make sure you know your franchise history.
Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Piazza, 1 Kershaw, 1 Koufax, etc.

This draft will be untimed provided things move along efficiently. I don't have a hard and fast rule on this, but I see no reason we shouldn't be able to get through at least 3 rounds on average each day. If any of our six drafts are consistently lagging behind that goal, or if one draft is way behind the others, I reserve the right to put any such draft on a timed schedule.


The rest of the league rules are also simple:
100M cap.
24 teams, standard WIS format
No WW, AAA, trades, clones, DH.
Injuries will be on. Please make sure you roster enough PA and IP to make it through the season. Themes like this really suffer – and are less fun for everyone – if one or more teams go into a fatigue death spiral.
Park: Any that your franchise called home

These are the Dodger owners:
1. fatboydad54
2. mjkrunner*
3. winnetka1
4. normy17

That is NOT the draft order. I will generate a random draft order and will post it here after I have done so.

Update: bagchucker generated the following draft order for us:

Here is your sequence:

1 2 3 4

Timestamp: 2021-01-08 02:51:42 UTC

So the order for round 1 (and all odd numbered rounds) will be:
fatboydad54
mjkrunner
winnetka1
normy17

Even numbered rounds will be the reverse. The draft may now begin.

The Dodgers draft for the latest WAR of the Franchises iteration is ready to go. There is a thread set up in the Theme Leagues forum under 'WAR of the Franchises - Dodgers draft Topic'. We will be doing all of our communicating there instead of through sitemail (I will cross post this).

Order of the draft for round 1 (and all odd numbered rounds) will be:
fatboydad54
mjkrunner
winnetka1
normy17

All even numbered rounds will be the reverse.

Normy17 & fatboydad54 - you will have consecutive picks, please make them at the same time if you can to help move things along.

I will do my best to keep things up to date, though it may be tougher at certain times of the day & week. Thanks so much and really looking forward to this. Good luck and happy drafting!

Sandy Koufax

Be advised. I live on the west coast in Northern California. I don't make picks before 10:00 am EST.

Understood. With the second pick, I will take Clayton Kershaw...

This draft could not have come at a worse time for me.

Starting at noon (PST) I will be driving 3 1/2 hours to Sacramento to watch my three grandsons for the weekend.

I will not be able to make another pick until probably 11:00 pm EST. My participation will be sporadic at best until Sunday evening.

I am watching a 3 year old, 5 year old and 7 year old boy. Family before personal entertainment.

I don't do proxies. No offence intended but I have been screwed over more than once. Once by the actual commissioner of the league. Not surprising I quit on the spot and it was the middle of a draft in a progressive league.

Don Sutton

We're in no rush (and no need to do proxies) - I have no idea even when it will get back around to you with picks #8/#9. If you're able to make your selections at some point during the weekend, that'll be cool but completely understood if you cannot. Enjoy the time with your grandsons.

- Michael

Well, looks like I need to grab some pitchers.

Round 1: Zack Greinke
Round 2: Don Newcombe

Dazzy Vance

I'll go with Don Drysdale with my second round pick...

Eric Gagne

Whit Wyatt

3rd round pick is... Tony Gonsolin
