1949 Jackie Robinson League: FULL! Topic

RULES RECAP

16 teams. 4 divisions. 40 minimum Live for playoffs and lottery. All postseason must be played Live. 24 MLB players per team to start the season since there will be exactly 384 MLB players total, which also means every eligible player will be drafted. The 25th MLB player must be a non-1949 $200K player, to be sent down immediately and never used. (There will be only 2, a utility INF/OF and a pitcher, so everyone had better have at least 1 MLB catcher entering the season.) Below-average AAA, 6 hitters and 6 pitchers. No DH, no WW, no clones, but DH will start in the AL in 1973. Trades are allowed; as of right now, you may trade 1950 picks as well as those from 1949, but may not trade 1951 picks until the offseason following 1949.

IMPORTANT: I reserve the right to make a pick for any team that does not make its own pick by approximately 9am Eastern Daylight Time the next day. The pickings are way too slim for me to let it slide for even a second day. I will most likely pick best available player at the position most needed. Proxies are encouraged if you are away!

Please join ONLY if you plan on following your team throughout the season and playing at least 40 games minimum Live!!!

You do not have to keep all of the players listed below. These just show the 1948 roster players who have remaining seasons.

There is an OBVIOUS CHOICE in the bunch: a Hall of Famer at what is very much a positional need.

Nellie Fox is the pick or I will give anyone who picks up this team two first round picks for the right to your selection!!! Join this league!!! Do it!

I have drafted Fox on behalf of this team. Now someone take it already as the draft is moving along.

If the team's new owner wants to trade Fox, Pi_Kapp's St. Louis AL team has the 7th and 12th picks overall, which means the first of his 2 picks is just 1 away as the team with the 5th pick has already drafted. Travel is not a factor as both teams play in Sportsman's Park.
