You didn't get my last night's pick of Pop Foster on the latest update. I wouldn't want to lose such a valuable commodity. For the current pick, I'll go with Frank Bowerman, C.

I've run into a new problem. There are no pitchers . I had planned on just to continue picking position players to fill out the roster. I have four draft picks , but only three spots available on the roster for position players in the draft center. Are we going to get a decision on the random assignments of the crappy players, soon?

cardsfan, sorry I missed that-you are right, he was probably the best player at that point, although a case could be made for Pat Carney. Corrected now.

Draft Board and player list both updated

cardsfan, there are only 14 pitchers in the "crap" list and I think we will all need at least one (I'm in the same boat as you with one more draft pick than I have roster spots for a position player). We will have, I believe, 2 AAA pitchers so we may have to call up one or both to fill out the required roster. I have enough IP's, so it doesn't matter a lot what crap pitchers or AAA pitchers I wind up with.

I've got 1360 IP. I've played with that few before, but don't like to. I'm a little confused (that's never happened, before) about the mechanics. We have to enter the roster before we are assigned the AAA players, don't we?

tsballgame, we may need to increase the number of "crap" pitchers so that everyone can be assigned 2 in case they need them. Ineed only 1 but I'm guessing many people may need 2.

These old time leagues always have these problems with players. Several that I joined folded after the 1st or 2nd year because the talent availability was so weak. It might help to expand the all-timers pool for next season's draft to allow people to build up a reasonable hope for improvement.

There are 62 players in the all-timers to be added in season 2, so that should help. Ther are 48 new pitchers (including 11 all-timers) and only 22 retiremments so that should help.
