We will use this thread for the Braves draft. 3dayrotation 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 Braves franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Greg Maddux, you must roster one of his Braves 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 Braves in particular have a long and often confusing history, with many different team names (Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, Bees) and three different cities (Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta).
-- Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Greg Maddux, 1 Hank Aaron, 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.
Park: Any that the Braves franchise called home

And please remember: if at the end of the draft, any owner is unable to make a team from his 25 players that fits within the cap, they will be allowed to swap out players – replacing them with undrafted players from the franchise – but they will take a 2M cap hit for EACH swap. So if you replace 1 player, your new cap is 98M. 2 players, 96M, etc.

These are the Braves owners:
1. 3dayrotation (DRAFT OWNER)
2. joerat1
3. Rattlers
4. Scott1967

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

bagchucker generated the following for us:

Here is your sequence:

4 1 3 2

Timestamp: 2021-03-09 00:56:31 UTC

So the draft order for round 1 (and all odd numbered rounds) will be:
Scott1967
3dayrotation
Rattlers
joerat1

Even numbered rounds will be the reverse.

Greg Maddux

and after scott makes the most unsurprising pick ever... such a big gap between him and anyone.

Aaron, Hank

But if there is one player that I admire in all of sports it's Hammerin' Hank, and you got him!

P Kevin Millwood

1. Tom L Hughes
2. Pat Jarvis

P John Smoltz

Freeman, Freddie

Warren Spahn
