Randomizing would allow for some interesting rivalries to start, and would also eliminate some of the gamesmanship involved with franchise selection.

How do get a rivalry started when you don't know who's going to be in your division (or your league for that matter). If would be different if we were "Fixed" in our divisions always (i.e. I'm in the AL East regardless of which franchise I've selected).

I meant between owners, not teams. Having it randomized would add some mystery.

I've got them all. Posting shortly.

I did some research on what players believe-are the really so-called good teams

Surprising these teams have been falling. back in recent seasons.

Season # 61 Yanks lost 93 games Houston lost 102 games
Season #65 Yanks lost 89 games Dodgers lost 94 games
Season # 66 Houston lost 113 games
Last year Dodgers lost 105 games
Also not that long ago the Angels won 100 games in a season and if my memory is correct not that long ago the Phils won it ?
Last season the White Sox made it to the Series

So the greats are not always so great

You're right, Alice. And I actually think that suggests we should consider re-seeding the teams. But that's a whole different conversation!

Keepers are posted. alleyviper can make his pick whenever he's ready. Good luck!

I will count my blessings that Mike Scott, Houston is available.

Also, based on some of the keepers that I see I would like to remind everyone that the format is currently 1970-present. 1969 is out.

DAMN YOU ALLEY, I figured you would grab him, but DAMN YOU, haha

I will sure up my rotation & select, Roger Clemens - Red Sox

Yeah, I thought the same, I had them as 1 / 2, I was really hoping alley got hit by the dumb stick for about 5 min, haha. I looked at the SP depth, & that whole 1st page (when you search / draft) is pretty much all protected, Mike Scott was a surprise, but alas, I'll go with the Rocket
