No trades were made

Can keep max 25 of the above 27 players as per their 1946/2006 stats

Looking over the roster for 1946/2006 it looks pretty stacked. I would probably drop Mike Matheny, Matt Wise, and Cliff Pollitte, and Juan Padilla is retired in 06, though its up to you. That would mean 2 picks.

We are a 20 team league, with four divisions of five teams, each division winner advances to the playoffs. We have a good mix of veteran and newby owners. Fairly straightforward league. Basic rules. no DH either league. Its a double progressive entering 1946/2006 so lots of war veterans returning. You are not allowed to use machine generated AAA players or you will forfeit any game they are played (unless there is a VERY good excuse). WE are coming up tot he 46/06 draft, and you will be picking 12th. Draft order is worst to first, with a first round draft lottery for the bottom four teams. Ties are based on final standings pct vs. exp pct, but let me (the commish) worry about that.

Please sitemail any questions, and post or sitemail interest.
