Seven leagues – each league has two of the original 16 franchises in it (1 N.L. and 1 A.L.) – except for League 7 which has four (2 N.L. and 2 A.L.). Each of your teams will consist of a roster that has one team from each of the six time-frames listed. Beginning in 1903, the time frames are:

1903-1922
1923-1942
1943-1962
1963-1982
1983-2002
2003-2022

For example, you could end up with a Giants team with the squads from 1921, 1934, 1947, 1965, 1989 and 2004. Once you have your six teams, you need to roster at least four from each of the teams you picked. If you pick a Giant team with your first pick, you’re locked into the Giants – there’s no mixing and matching franchises. Same with League 7 – if your first pick is a Phillies team, you must take Phillies choices with your next five picks. Also, with regards to League 7, there doesn’t need to be a 6 by 6 breakdown in either side of the league. If on the A.L. side, nine people want a Browns/Orioles team, leaving only three Senators/Twins picks, that’s fine.

As in previous rounds, we'll have a 24-hour window once the draft boards are posted for anyone who would like to explore a trade of their draft spot/position.

1909 Pirates.

1995 Indians

Not a fan of how the how the leagues are set up for this round. My "reward" for finishing fairly high in round 3 is to have the the third pick in either division .

Oh well, let's go with the 1908 Pirates.

1906 Naps (Indians)

The NL East, also known as the dead-ball Pirates division.

I seem to be drafting 8th a lot, and it's really far from ideal.

2017 Cleveland Indians
AL East #4

Glad you took an Indians team. At least I get bumped to the AL Central now.

1903 Cleveland Naps

1903 Cleveland Naps

That was one of my other final possible picks. I do like Cleveland more in general for season depth, which won out over starting a Pirates division off. So many tough calls at this stage, and at most we get 20% of our roster out of these picks anyway.
