I’m not up next but I’m fifth. I’m driving for 3 more hours though so it will be quite a bit later if I come up

When twisting players, can we only twist players backwards to previous seasons played or can we also twist them ahead to future seasons they will play in?

Any season they played in regardless of what team they're on

To the new owners! There is a rule that I want to make sure is clear: When you upload your WIS roster after you've selected your team, you will be short players. When I check the teams, I am checking against the Baseballreference.com line up which means, that players that are not automatically on the WIS roster, but ARE on the BR.com Roster, ARE eligible to be twisted and will ultimately fill in empty roster spots. You do not have to use them or upload them if they do not work for your team. In that case, you may revert to selecting players from the previous 3 season of your selected team.

There was a good discussion for the 1904 season where we got that cleared up and I think it has worked out pretty well.
theres a limitation on who you can take from 1902 to 1904 right? has to be part time players i remember but i'm not sure exact parameters

Batters must have up to 300AB and pitchers must have a minimum WHIP of 1.30. And no Clones

7. Chicago White Sox
Nice pick!
I spent the last hour trying to decide between the White Sox and Tigers. Was gonna go with the White Sox and probably league-leading pitching, but finally went with less arm, more bat.

Greetings The_Irishman,

Our minds think alike. I was contemplating taking the Tigers up until the last minute and decided on the White Sox and their Pitching staff. Not many homers for the Sox though so hopefully there a lot of 1-0, 2-1 games for my staff to win. Good luck with your team.
