The 1940s Team Icon League needs 1 for the 1948 Season. The Browns own the #1 Pick in the 1948 Rookie Draft so you have a good start to continue rebuilding this team. If you have any questions about how the Icon Leagues work let me know. Basically you can only draft players who played for your team at some point in their career and if there are players who played only for your team you get them automatically.

The Giants might be bad now, but the get Willie Mays for free in a few years so they'll start getting better pretty quickly.

Even though he played a couple of seasons for the Mets at the end of his career?

I might be interested in taking the Tigers. Any chance you could send the league rules (e.g., any position/keeper limits, win minimums, division/playoff alignment, draft rules, etc.). I'm also curious as to when this league started and how the competitive balance has been (i.e., do the Yankees win every year?). Thanks.

Alright the Tigers are taken, just need the Giants and we're ready to go!!

I already have an AL team but I'll take the Giants as well if that's ok

I'd like to see if we can get a unique owner first but if we get all the other rosters in without a taker then that's fine with me. 

The Giants also have the #11 pick in the first round as well from a trade.

If I could also recieve the league rules & league history I would appreciate that.
