Okay, here’s how the drafting of Free Agent players is going to go:
 

If your team’s winning percentage is 621 or higher, they get one Free Agent;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 589 and 620, they get two Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is between 553 and 588, they get three Free Agents;
If your team’s winning percentage is 552 or below, they get four Free Agents.
 

The draft will be started by the team/owner with the lowest winning percentage in each division and wind it’s way up.
 
There is no reason for any of these short drafts to be held up by anyone for any reason (barring emergencies) so I’m instituting a 24-hour rule. Once the draft begins, any owner who takes longer than 24 hours to make a pick can be skipped. Since we’re doing these drafts in “thejuice6’s Theme League Draft Forum”, sending someone a proxy should be a piece of cake. Again, if you can’t make your pick on time, send someone a proxy.

The Teams/Owners involved in this draft are:

1968-1969: Baltimore Orioles 617 (MSHEAF1)
1968-1969: San Francisco Giants 549 (DARTHDURRON)
1968-1969: Minnesota Twins 543 (RIZITOS)
1968-1969: Chicago Cubs 543 (VARK48)


The teams that you have to pick your Free Agents from are:

1968-1969:   Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Washington Senators, California Angels, Montreal Expos, Seattle Pilots, San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals

(01)  VARK48:  Bob Gibson, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals
(02)  RIZITOS:  Hank Aaron, 1969, Atlanta Braves
(03)  DARTHDURRON:  Luis Tiant, 1968, Cleveland Indians

It's been 24 hours since vark48 made his pick and rizitos has been silent. So, I'm going to go ahead and make my selection. I'll take 1968 Luis Tiant - Cleveland Indians.

Okay, the Tiant pick is good then.  In a draft with set draft times, the 24-hour rule is much easier to follow and enforce. However, when you depend on a sitemail from the previous person drafting to let you know when you're up, the rule gets fuzzy - to which I take the blame for not thinking of that sooner.
