Round 2 - 100M Draft - MLB102963 Topic

League Name: 8-Era Team Draft
Salary Cap:
$100 Million

Description: There will be an eight-round serpentine draft, draft order determined randomly. Each owner will draft a single-season team from eight different eras (described below). You must roster at least three players from each of the eight teams you drafted. That gets you to 24 players. The 25th player may come from any of your eight teams, but whichever team produces the 25th player, that team's ballpark must be used. If a team you selected doesn't have a ballpark available, then you can't use that team for your 25th player. Also, a minimum of $8 million must be spent from each team. The DH will be in use for this theme.

I believe schwarze said it will start much later since its only 8 rounds long (versus 25 for the other one).

I will get a schedule out soon, but the official start date will be mid to late next week.

Well... I thought I knew which team I would pick 1st, then I did some research, and some other issues popped out at me... and then I waffled back and forth between at least 5 teams... and... blah, blah, blah. Anyway, here is my pick:

1964 Los Angeles Dodgers
