We will use this thread for the White Sox draft. tridentric 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 White Sox franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Joe Jackson, you must roster one of his White Sox 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 White Sox franchise has existed in the AL since its inception in 1901, and has always been known as the White Sox. The Chicago White Stockings (NL 1885-1889), Chicago Colts (NL 1890-1897), Chicago Orphans (1898-1902), Chicago Pirates (1890 Players League) and Chicago Whales (1914-15 Federal League) are NOT part of this franchise. Obviously, neither are the modern day Chicago Cubs.
-- Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Joe Jackson, 1 Eddie Collins, 1 Frank Thomas, 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 White Sox franchise called home

These are the White Sox owners:
1. tridentric*
2. schwarze
3. eman7400
4. Rattlers

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:

1 4 3 2

Timestamp: 2021-01-21 13:32:25 UTC

So the order for round 1, and all odd numbered rounds, will be:
tridentric
Rattlers
eman7400
schwarze

Even numbered rounds will be the reverse

Sigh... Two drafts, picking 4th in both. Thankfully, there's a $100M cap, so picking first isn't necessarily an advantage since the most expensive players probably aren't viable at $100M. (In my Yankees draft, Ruth wasn't even selected)
