Well, I think I will use 1966 McCovey at 1B and toss D-/D- Cepeda in left field.  Hopefully A+ range Mays can cover his @ss a little!  This Haller is an intriguing option!  I may use him at catcher and platoon him L/R with 1968 Jack Hiatt.  Both are solid with the bat and boast A+ arms.  Combined they're a 6mil catcher.  I like it!  Pagan can spell both infield positions and Havey Kuenn will make a nice PHer with that OBP.

This is essentially what my starting unit will look like.  Notice the seasons, and where I tried to utilize the rules:

		C	1963 Tom Haller	L	340	298	14	44	4-6	45-34	21.3	.255	.332	.430	A/A	$3,429,970
		1B	1966 Willie McCovey	L	592	506	36	96	2-1	100-76	13.9	.295	.391	.586	D/B-	$5,003,040
		2B	1966 Hal Lanier	R	488	462	3	37	1-0	49-16	153.0	.231	.256	.290	A/C+	$2,546,855
		3B	1966 Jim Ray Hart	R	640	582	33	93	2-5	75-48	17.5	.285	.342	.510	C/C	$4,646,469
		SS	1966 Tito Fuentes	S	568	545	9	40	6-3	57-9	60.1	.261	.276	.360	C/A-	$3,308,123
		OF	1963 Willie Mays	R	671	596	38	103	8-3	83-66	15.7	.314	.380	.582	B-/A+	$8,407,856
		OF	1963 Orlando Cepeda	R	629	579	34	97	8-3	70-37	17.0	.316	.366	.563	D/C-	$5,244,285
		OF	1963 Felipe Alou	R	607	565	20	82	11-2	87-27	28.3	.281	.319	.474	B/C	$4,431,490

Spare parts including bench and extra pitchers should I swing a trade for a middle infielder!:

		C	1968 Jack Hiatt	R	268	224	4	34	0-0	61-41	56.0	.232	.351	.348	A/A	$2,551,941
		C	1968 Dick Dietz	R	338	301	6	38	1-1	68-34	50.2	.272	.347	.392	D+/A-	$2,120,783
		C	1968 Bob Barton	R	102	92	0	5	0-0	18-7	92.0	.261	.310	.283	A/C	$1,229,997
		OF	1963 Harvey Kuenn	R	469	417	6	31	2-1	38-44	69.5	.290	.358	.374	C/D-	$2,578,486
		SS	1963 Jose Pagan	R	519	483	6	39	10-7	67-26	80.5	.234	.277	.300	B/C-	$2,604,407

		SP/RP	1965 Warren Spahn	L	3-4-0	72	3.39	.256	1.27	4.27	2.64	1.00	34-21	$1,311,741
		SP/RP	1968 Mike McCormick	L	12-14-1	199	3.58	.254	1.24	5.49	2.22	0.77	121-49	$4,186,021
		SP/RP	1968 Bill Monbouquette	R	5-8-1	102	4.34	.261	1.16	3.28	1.33	0.97	37-15	$1,859,769
		SP/RP	1965 Jim Duffalo	R	0-2-0	45	3.63	.215	1.48	6.85	6.45	0.60	34-32	$803,284

If I can trade either Bolin, Shaw or Sadecki, McCormick slides into my rotation.  He's not terrible.

It seems it took me a couple of drafting rounds to get the hang of this .... I'll go ahead break my virginity in this league and take the 59-68 Dodgers ... 65 Dodgers-Twins World Series is the first WS that I heard thru the radio when I was a kid from Cuba in Radio Free America with my dad before we left in 66 ...  

A friendly reminder that I chose 59-68 Dodgers a few posts ago ... 

Just a quick question to make sure I understand this.
If my battery was 1944 Detroit Tigers and 2 pitchers (Dizzy Trout and Stubby Overmire) had their highest salaried seasons I just use their 1943 seasons. 1945 would be out because Tigers were in World Series.

Thanks.

This is fun stuff. Pretty sure I will take a 2nd team if allowed

sorry another question.

If a player shows up as a starting pitcher in my chosen battery season and a relief pitcher in my chosen bullpen season do I just pick which one I want to place him in?

Sorry gentlemen, busy work week.

Thx Arvid for interpreting for me while I was away. You are correct on all accounts.

Gus, Dodgers are yours. Good stuff to play with guys you idolized as a child. That's why I'm the 80's Reds....even if I come in $15-20m less than some teams.

Joshkvt, welcome brotha....always a pleasure my conservative friend.

Welcome Szczubelek, you can indeed take 2 teams.

got some active Live players thus far, should be able to get in plenty of games. I should be good for 100+ with each team as long as a decent # of players commit to being available.
