DON'T FORGET:
(1) Sitemail the next person in order to let them know it's their turn!
(2) The players whose names appear next to the teams in the "Teams Drafting" List are "keepers" and those versions of those players are off-limits in the draft. Every other player in this three-year time-frame is eligible for the draft.
(3) List the franchise of the player you're drafting!


Teams Drafting (in order):

(1) MSHEAF1 (Beaneaters: ?)
(2) R90377 (Giants: Tim Keefe, Mickey Welch, Roger Connor, John Ward, Buck Ewing)
(3) CONTRARIAN23 (Browns: Tip O'Neill, Yank Robinson, Silver King, Elton Chamberlain, Bob Caruthers)


Draft Picks:

First Round:
(1)
(2)
(3)

Second Round:
(1)
(2)
(3)

Third Round:
(1)
(2)
(3)

Fourth Round:
(1)
(2)
(3)

Fifth Round:
(1)
(2)
(3)

Before we go any farther, a situation has come up that everyone should be aware of: Since we're able to raid each other's rosters during this draft (except for the keepers, of course), there stands a chance that someone with their last pick can, in a sense, go in and grab someone else's starting catcher - probably leaving them with hardly any recourse.

Three ways we can go here:

(1) Before the draft begins, get with the other owners in your draft and ask them if, after the fourth round, that they make each other's teams off-limits for the last round;
(2) Before the draft begins, make your Catcher (or some other position that would be affected) one of your keepers; or
(3) Just leave things the way they are and say "Let the cards fall where they may!"

Totally up to you guys in each draft - I don't care either way. Just something we thought you should be aware of...

What do you guys think, go with idea 1 above would be my vote.

1887-1889: Boston Beaneaters Keepers:

Sorry to intrude on this draft, but I saw this same post on the general thread.


Nichols's career began in 1890.

Duffy didn't play for Boston until 1892.

Hamilton didn't play for Boston until 1896.

Collins's career began in 1895.

First suggestion is fine with me

Option 1

Okay I've fixed my keepers. I mean and 8 or a 9 in the third part of year doesn't mean that much does it?

To get this thing going Pete Browning Louisville Colonels

Denny Lyons - Philadelphia A's.

John Weyhing - Cincinnati Red Stockings

Cannonball Titcomb New York Giants

How can I pass on a name like that.
