Brady Anderson - BAL

Baltimore is now off the board

Via proxy, ChitownBluz selects Larry Walker - MON/WSH

Expos/Nats off the board

so we pick 25 players for our roster?

Well, you protect a total of eight, and draft three more from other teams. Then you fill out your rosters with anyone else from your team (1969-2015) who hasn't been drafted.

ok but there is no minimum on amount of players a team must have? Do guys get tired that have 700 PA's?

You have to have a full 25-man roster. Most teams have 11-12 pitchers, but you can get by with 10 if you have at least 1600 or more innings pitched. Closer to 1700 is probably safer. For at bats, any player with 700+ at bats will likely never get tired. Less than 650 and you probably need to rest him once in awhile. Under 600 and you need to platoon at least a little. Also, there is no DH, so you will need a few bench guys who can hit as pinch hitters. Hope this helps and good luck with your team!

Good summary, nordawg. Thanks.

thanks nordawg that tells me everything I need to know, when do we need to have our rosters finalized?

When sinfonian11 sends out the League #, you "Edit League Option" on the team you're currently using to look up players, and enter the league number. When you have all your players, you then choose your stadium, create a team name, and enter your team.

Correction, I meant seven. Five initial keepers, then one each after each of the first two rounds. I'm running on little-to-no sleep this week, and I'm having more trouble than usual keeping up. Sorry.

Sorry I'm late guys. Hermine knocked out power last night.

Late Pick Moises Alou - Astros
