Thank you for setting that up! When the time comes, are you planning to check rosters through sitemail before we enter

no prob. providing a sitemail acct of your players would be helpful, although ive run plenty of crazy themes where i had to check worse rosters.

If someone's feeling industrious, would they care to post the teams that beat the Yankees in the World Series?

2001 Dbacks
1981 Dodgers
1976 Reds
1964 Cards

Pitchers not eligible from the last 4...just to rehash that

I was really tempted to take Valenzuela, but I think I have to go with the proven commodity (and **** everyone off) by taking P Greg Maddux

Here's hoping there's at least one serviceable GG SS at the end of round two

that was a no-brainer.... darnit.

With Maddog gone i'll take the next best P Pedro Martinez

After much going back and forth, I decided to grab the one good Vermont player 3B - Larry Gardner

shocked that you didn't go for pitching. It will be scarce later on

I almost did...but then I got to thinking about how it's going to be hard to use all $160M. I didn't want to have to waste my Vermont spot with a cheap guy I'll never use. I'll let the rest of you do that.

Hmm... I don't think we will be able to stay within the rules (22HR, GG SS, etc.) and get within shouting distance of $160M. I imagine that the only way to come close is to dominate with high-quality post-1950 pitching. I expect the draft will eliminate virtually all of those pitchers, so we're with... I dunno, I'm guessing... $100m rosters?
