Round Two - League 01 - COMPLETED! Topic


Things to remember:

Team Building: The combinations are listed with the better team named first, followed by the weaker team second. Your roster can have no more than TEN players from the better franchise and the rest must come from the weaker franchise. For example, if you chose the “1903-1904: Philadelphia Athletics – Chicago White Sox” in League Two, you can only have ten players from the Athletics and the other fifteen players must come from the White Sox.

Clones! You're allowed ONE per team. It can be either a pitcher or a position player – and it must come from one of your two years and one of your two franchises. In other words, if you have the 1919-1920 Brooklyn Robins/Boston Red Sox, you can use the 1919 version of Babe Ruth but you can’t use the 1920 version since that player is from the Yankees. Also, I'm not sure if this will even come up but - if, for example, the 1919-1920 New York Yankees/Boston Red Sox was a choice, you COULD use both versions of Ruth (as your clone of course) since he was on both of your listed franchises.

NO CAP – Build the best roster you can from your combo.

Clones: Just one per team as mentioned above.

Designated Hitter: Yes
Waiver Wire: No
Injuries – Turned On
Trades: No
A.A.A.: No

You may use either partial or full season stats of any player who had a split season - as long as the stats indicate it was for your franchise.

Stadium – You must use a stadium that existed during the time-frame of your combo AND was the home ballpark for one of your two franchises. If that ballpark isn’t in the database, you must use WhatIfSports Park.

Every pick can and must include their division choice with their team selection.

It's amazing how far the quality seems to drop after those first couple picks. I never seem to have a great feel for this era though.

1887-88 Philadelphia Athletics/Philadelphia Quakers (AL Central)
1/11/2023 2:28 PM
When I traded into this league, I never expected to be looking at these seasons but this pairing will be a lot of fun:

1897-1898: Baltimore Orioles - Washington Senators

Will be playing in the AL East to enable a few more potential Silver King vs Silver King matchups but still allows us to avoid being in the same division.as pedro's.
1/11/2023 2:56 PM
Yep, I was wondering when all those great hitting teams would get taken...
1/11/2023 3:01 PM
That was going to be my pick for sure. I guess I'll go with the 1889-1890: Chicago White Stockings/Chicago Colts - Columbus Solons (NL Central)

I was really tempted by a couple of those, but the pitching sickened me too much.

1887-1888 NY Giants/Pittsburgh Allegheny’s
