The Original 16 Progressive is looking for one replacement for the 1973 season. We started in 1961 with the original 16 teams in their original homes (Braves in Boston, Dodgers in Brooklyn etc.) The team we need a replacement for is the Indians. They finished 67-95 in 1972 which was 4th in the AL West. The Indians will pick 1st in the 1973 Draft so they will be able to pick from guys like Mike Schmidt, Dave Parker, Dave Winfield, Steve Rogers, Frank Tanana and the immortal Dick Pole among others. Their 1972 roster is listed below.

C - Ray Fosse, Milt May
1B - Boog Powell
2B - Cookie Rojas
SS - Roger Metzger, Gene Alley
3B - Joe Torre, Ken McMullen
OF - Roy White, Matty Alou, Bob Watson, Elliott Maddox, Dwight Evans, Rick Miller
P - Luis Tiant, Jim Barr, Rudy May, Don Gullett, Clay Carroll, Paul Linblad, Gary Nolan, Jim Perry, Ted Abernathy, Ron Schueler
