The 1964 ReWrite History Progressive League needs a new owner for 1964. The open team is the Cleveland Indians. Their roster is below. Basically this league is a standard progressive 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. The Indians are currently 59-101 in the AL and will end up with the #1 Overall Pick in the 1964 Rookie Draft. The 1964 Draft is strong for the Indians with guys like Luis Tiant and Tommy John as Cleveland eligible rookies.

If a player only played for the defunct teams (currently BAL, CHC, CHW, KCA, LAA, MLN, NYM, WSA) 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.

If you would prefer to move the Indians to any of the current defunct teams you can do that.

There is very little talent on this roster, current or future, this will be a total teardown/rebuild but I like a challenge, I do not, however want to keep some of these guys.

They're yours if you want them. This roster is just their year end roster for 1963. You are free to cut any of the players listed before the Rookie Draft.
