WAR of the Franchises - Marlins/Mets draft Topic

We will use this thread for the Marlins/Mets draft. just4me will be running this one, and we'll get started once I have the drafts all set up.

Draft rules are simple:
-- 25 round serpentine draft
-- You may draft any player in the WIS database who played for the Marlins or Mets franchise (no twisting - you must roster a version of the player from your franchise. If you draft Tom Seaver, you must roster one of his Mets seasons, etc.)
-- Partial/full/combined seasons are all ok.
-- Franchises are defined by www.baseball-reference.com. Please make sure you know your franchise history. The Marlins and Mets are very straightforward, the only slight issue being the Marlins changing their name from Florida to Miami in 2012. One thing to watch out for...there was a 19th century team called the New York Metropolitans; they are obviously not part of the current Mets franchise and are not part of this draft.
-- Players are exclusive. There will be only 1 version of Tom Seaver, 1 Gary Sheffield, etc. Note that even if a player appeared for both of these teams (like Mike Piazza), he can still only be drafted ONCE.

This draft will be untimed provided things move along efficiently. I see no reason we shouldn't be able to get through at least 3 rounds on average each day. If any of our six drafts are consistently lagging behind that goal, or if one draft is way behind the others, I reserve the right to put any such draft on a timed schedule.


The rest of the league rules are also simple:
100M cap.
24 teams, standard WIS format
No WW, AAA, trades, clones, DH.
Injuries will be on. Please make sure you roster enough PA and IP to make it through the season. Themes like this really suffer – and are less fun for everyone – if one or more teams go into a fatigue death spiral.
Park: Any that the Mets or Marlins franchise called home

And please remember: if at the end of the draft, any owner is unable to make a team from his 25 players that fits within the cap, they will be allowed to swap out players – replacing them with undrafted players from the franchise – but they will take a 2M cap hit for EACH swap. So if you replace 1 player, your new cap is 98M. 2 players, 96M, etc.

These are the Mets/Marlins owners:
1. sweetnss355
2. frank_drebin
3. besterateam
4. just4me (DRAFT OWNER)

That is NOT the draft order. I will generate a random draft order and will post it here after I have done so.

bagchucker generated the following order for us:

Here is your sequence:

1 2 3 4

Timestamp: 2021-03-09 00:57:29 UTC

So the draft order for round 1, and all odd numbered rounds, will be:
1. sweetnss355
2. frank_drebin
3. besterateam
4. just4me

Even numbered rounds will be the reverse
