Rochester Rage - Moonlight Graham(S22)

FA - 10
IFA - 2
Drafted - 7
Trade - 3
WW - 3

The "odd" thing is 6 of the drafted players are pitchers.   I'm carrying 11 pitchers so more than half came via the draft while I went outside the organization to build an offense.  And my first draft pick is still with me.  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Jose James
