WAR of the Franchises - Tigers draft Topic

We will use this thread for the Tigers draft. trumbull will be running this one, and we'll get started once I have the drafts all set up.

Draft rules are simple:
-- 25 round serpentine draft
-- You may draft any player in the WIS database who played for the Tigers franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Justin Verlander, you must roster one of his Tiger seasons, etc.)
-- Partial/full/combined seasons are all ok.
-- Franchises are defined by www.baseball-reference.com. Please make sure you know your franchise history. The Tigers franchise has existed in the AL since 1901 and has always been known as the Tigers. The Detroit Wolverines (1885-1888 National League) are NOT part of this franchise.
-- Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Justin Verlander, 1 Ty Cobb, 1 Al Kaline, etc.

This draft will be untimed provided things move along efficiently. I see no reason we shouldn't be able to get through at least 3 rounds on average each day. If any of our six drafts are consistently lagging behind that goal, or if one draft is way behind the others, I reserve the right to put any such draft on a timed schedule.


The rest of the league rules are also simple:
100M cap.
24 teams, standard WIS format
No WW, AAA, trades, clones, DH.
Injuries will be on. Please make sure you roster enough PA and IP to make it through the season. Themes like this really suffer – and are less fun for everyone – if one or more teams go into a fatigue death spiral.

These are the Tiger owners:
1. 3dayrotation
2. trumbull*
3. Jtpsops
4. frank_drebin

That is NOT the draft order. I will generate a random draft order and will post it here after I have done so.

bheid408 generated the following for us:

Here is your sequence:

4 3 1 2

Timestamp: 2021-01-21 13:33:13 UTC

So the order for round 1, and all odd numbered rounds, will be:
frank_drebin
Jtpsops
3dayrotation
trumbull

Even numbered rounds will be the reverse
