We will use this thread for the Reds draft. thejuice6 will be running this one, and we'll get started 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 Reds franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Joe Morgan, you must roster one of his Reds 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. The Reds franchise was known as the Cincinnati Red Stockings from 1885-1889, and have been known as the Reds since 1890. The Cincinnati Kelly's Killers (1891 American Association) is NOT part of this franchise.
-- Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Joe Morgan, 1 Joey Votto, 1 Johnny Bench, etc.

This draft will be untimed provided things move along efficiently. 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 the Reds franchise called home

These are the Reds owners:
1. fire13
2. sweetnss355
3. thejuice6*
4. winnetka1

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

bheid408 generated the following for us:

Here is your sequence:

2 3 1 4

Timestamp: 2021-01-21 13:32:44 UTC

So the order for round 1, and all odd numbered rounds, will be:
sweetnss355
thejuice6
fire13
winnetka1

All even numbered rounds will be the reverse.
