This thread is for the Top 8 owners in Round Four. They get to choose which league they would like to play in, what duo they want to select and what division they choose to be in. Once they've chosen, the four individual league draft boards will be set up. The draft order for each of the four leagues will be determined by each owner’s W/L record from Round Four.

The Top Eight Draft Picks belong to the following:

(1) PEDROCERRANO: 1901-1902 Pittsburgh Pirates (League 1) - Division - N.L. East
(2) SCHWARZE: 1902-1903 Pittsburgh Pirates (League 1) - Division - A.L. East
(3) FOOTBALLMM11: 2020-2021 Los Angeles Dodgers (League 4) - Division - N.L. East
(4) SCHWARZE: 1926-1927 New York Yankees (League 2) - Division - N.L. East
(5) STEVEIZZY: 1942-1943 New York Yankees (League 2) - Division - A.L. East
(6) FOOTBALLMM11: 2021-2022 Los Angeles Dodgers (League 4) - Division - A.L. East
(7) KSTOBER: 1969-1970 Baltimore Orioles (League 3) - Division - A.L. West
(8) PEDROCERRANO: 1927-1928 New York Yankees (League 2) - Division - A.L. West

thejuice6 is going to be on vacation August 19-30, so it would be beneficial to get through all the drafts a few days before then, so he has time to check all the rosters and start the leagues before he leaves.

The regular season ends with the Tuesday pm2 session (August 8). We can start the Top 8 draft ASAP once final standings are posted. If we can finish the "Top 8 pick Draft" by the late afternoon/evening on Wednesday Aug 9, the draft order can be distributed Wednesday night. Maybe we can get the drafts done in 7-8 days, giving juice 2-3 days to get everything ready.

The Top 8 Draft can begin now. Don't forget - we need to know the league, the duo AND the division...

Also, I had the date wrong. Juice leaves Aug 17, so two fewer days to get everything completed.

Hopefully, pedrocerrano makes his selection in the early evening. Maybe we can even get all eight picks done tonight, if we get the first one in early enough.

Then the draft orders may be available by or before the next morning.

Yes - I am at the edge of my seat, looking forward to getting started.

I’ll be ready!

With little confidence:

Lg 1
1901-02 Pittsburgh Pirates

Bad sign Pedro...I would have taken them at 5.

Hopefully that's a good sign

I was nearly 99.99% sure you would take that team. I assume you are playing in the NL East?

I was ready for that pick. I actually have these two teams pretty even in my rankings. This team has slightly better pitching. Your team has slightly better hitting.

League 1
1902-03 Pittsburgh Pirates
AL East

League 4
NL East
2020-21 Dodgers

Excellent choice. I had them rated very high (best in league 4), but I just hate playing with the modern (2020+) players. Hardly anybody throws 200 innings, SPs rarely can go more than 5 innings and most of the RPs are <1 IP/G. My next pick coming up shortly.

Sorry about the division - NL East is fine

Let's have some fun.

League 2
NL East
1926-27 Yankees

Let's make the first "WTF???" pick of the tournament..

League 2
AL East
1942-43 Yankees
