Even after the trade, never thought there was ANY chance of Nap Lajoie 2B falling to me at #4 as I thought it was a no-brainer for him to be #1. So I will take him. Really no idea how this is going to work out..................haha. Ill sitemail the next 3 owners.

He went 5th in the last 1901 draft i did!

I expect this league will have MANY different opinions about relative values of players and picks... the randomization, the contract point cap, the ability to draft players 2 years before their rookie season (and/or keep them 2 years after they 'retire')...all of those should lead to a very different set of decisions than you would see in a standard progressive.

Jack Taylor 1899-1907 pitcher Chicago Orphans

I will take the first roll of the dice and go with P Addie Joss

So far this is already the most challenging league I've played in - and I'm not sure if my pick is the right way to go - so many things to consider - For now - I will take any offers for this pick - I will give it a few hours to field those offers and respond - I will trade my pick or make my selection by 3pm EST

Sorry guys, I checked in this morning and it did not seem likely that the draft would get to me today.

So....Elmer Flick OF - to end round 1

To start round 2 - Bill Dinneen P

Someone's got to take the first 1903 rookie, and it's gonna be me, with Mordecai Brown, P.

Very much of the era, our first star is named after a little town called Wahoo, and our second star is famous for pitching brilliantly with a hand that was mangled in a farm machinery accident suffered when he was 12 years old.

Sorry gents for the delay - very busy day on the RL side of things. Mixing my utter frustration with the challenge of this draft and my satisfaction that this league has finally got going - I had a similar idea for this type of league for sooooo long - Anyway - a huge thanks to contrarian for making this happen - enough rambling - we will go with .............Deacon Phillippe - P
