The 1953 ReWrite History Progressive League needs one new owner for 1953. The open team is the defending AL Champion Chicago White Sox. They lost the 1951 World Series to the Giants so they are a strong team. Their roster is below. Basically this league is a standard league but the first four rounds of each rookie draft you are only able to draft players who played for your team at some point in their career. After the first four rounds, all players are eligible to be drafted by any team.

If a player only played for the defunct teams (currently CHC, MLN, PHA, WSH) they are eligible to be drafted by everyone. Any player who is only eligible for one team is assigned either a First or Second Round Draft grade and has to be drafted by that team in that round, or they open up to everyone the next round.

After the draft is over you are free to trade players to any team that you wish.

The White Sox won the AL in 1951 and are currently in First Place in the AL 145 games into the 1952 season.

If you are a fan of the two open AL franchises (Athletics/Senators) you can move to either of them if you'd like.

The White Sox Draft pool is listed below:
C Red Wilson (DET, CHW, CLE)
1B Bob Boyd (BAL, CHW)
3B Andy Carey (NYY, BRO, CHW)
OF Ed McGhee WHITE SOX (2)
OF Al Smith (CLE, CHW, SLB, BOS)
P Ray Herbert (DET, CHW, PHI)
P Jim Hughes (BRO, CHW)

The White Sox also have the Tigers 1st, 2nd and 3rd Round Pick in 1953 which most likely will be the #1 Pick in the Draft.

I put that team together.
:)(:

Then come on back and see it through. They're definitely the best team in the AL right now.
