BTW - it's NOT really a challenge to find a 2B - after all we do have nine players, that are teammates of our 15 selections... The Biggest problem will be keeping under the 120m salary cap! OMG

Also, I'm pretty sure Ripken or Banks won't be THAT Bad playing 2B, out of position?

I already know who my first pick is going to be, unless they take that person out & select somebody else... there are plenty of 2B that played with this player?

As is always the case with this type of league, this will be a fascinating, infuriating, and extremely fun draft. If anyone can manage to waste less than $10M in salary they'll probably win the league.

I'm really looking forward to seeing if anyone drafts the 1941 Ted Williams. My gut feeling is that the '53 and the '41 will be the two Teds not to be drafted, but this is a pretty wacky draft and anything can happen.

The 1941 Ted I can understand, who would want to get saddled with a 19m player in 120m league...

...But the 53 Ted, although kind of expensive, but good, for a Piinch Hitter?

Ted's a good pick, he's kind of expensive... But a lot better than those NO-name, worthless, SP that are nothing but dead weight, wondering how they made it sixteen years in the league, being so god-awful Terrible? You would think that after about 5 or 6 years in organized baseball, they would come to the realization that Hey, maybe they don't have Any TALENT, to continue?

Excellent pinch hitter, but with all of the dead weight salary out there I'm not sure anyone will want to carry a $4M pinch-hitter.

Worthless? Deadweight? You talking about Gus Weyhing? How dare you speak poorly of Gus.

Yes, he sucks for sim baseball, but in real life, he won 42 more games than he lost and his career ERA+ was 102 meaning was was an above average pitcher for his career. Those early 1890's were some crazy high offensive years.

Are you saying he wasn't Weyhing down anyone's roster?

Nice. LOL

I am hoping to get the draft information set up in the next day or so. Last chance to make changes.

Switching from Pete Alexander to Cy Young

I too shall switch from C Darrell Porter to C Glenn Myatt (17 seasons).

Switching to Mickey Lolich (16 seasons).

Adding alice to the wait list. Although it seems unlikely either wait list members will get in this time, you both will be included in my site-mail for the next version of the 16x16 theme.

Switching to SS Bill Mazeroski
