We will use this thread for the A's draft. I will be running this one, 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 A's franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Rickey Henderson, you must roster one of his A's 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 Henderson, 1 Foxx, 1 Grove, 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 A's owners:
1. thejuice6
2. fire13
3. trumbull
4. ff09

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 order for us:

Here is your sequence:

2 4 3 1

Timestamp: 2021-01-08 02:53:59 UTC

So the order for round 1 (and all odd numbered rounds) will be:
fire13
ff09
trumbull
thejuice6

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