I dont think we should change anything - everyone knew what 1885 held in store for us, and each of us had a different plan for using 1885 somewhere down the line.
Now that it is out...our plans need to be changed, not the concept of a full 1885 list of *rookies*.

Since I'll be getting the second pick in the 1885 draft, I'll need a clarification from bheid as to how this will work.  Are we only able to draft people who truly debuted in 1885, or can we take any available player from that year because it's WiS' "rookie" season.  So I'll be ready to pick based upon the answer.  Thanks in advance.

We are using WIS 1st Year Players to determine Rookie Status.  There fore all 85 Players are Rookies-See Page 4 of our Sign Ups in the Classified.

In that case, I'll take 1939 - Ted Williams OF.

Whew, long day at work....

1951 - Willie Mays

Also, 1885 is the season we are using. If I didn't want anyone to pick that season I would have said that the seasons were from 1886-2000.

Hold off on selecting until we finish the 1st round.

"Is there anybody out there?" - Pink Floyd

"the waiting is the hardest part" - Tom Petty

"a bad draft slot in the 1st round and the last round AND now waiting almost 15 hours for my next choice to be ripped from my clutches...will anyone i wanted be there 7 picks from now?" - ljfry

Sorry ljfry, you're dealing with a West Coaster over here. I thought for sure I'd be picking last night. I should have proxied as I couldn't check in all morning. Might have to buy a smart phone to support the WiS addiction. Anyway, enough banter.

I'm sure I'm not stealing this guy from anyone:

1886 Silver King

LOL, i was just kidding.  Slow day at work...meant lots of checking the forum...and those two songs came on the radio back to back, so i thought it was fitting

I have the same problem with slow work days as well. Most times when I spring for a new team, it's because it was slow at work and I had been reading through the theme league classifieds.

1955- Sandy Koufax-P

Can't believe he is still around this late.   1890  Cy Young
