One of my favorite old threads has disappeared, so I thought I would revive it again.

Very simple and interesting exercise: for the 25-man major league roster for your team, how were each of the players acquired by you?

For draftees, list the rounds they were drafted in.
For IFA's, list their original signing bonus.
