Player - Beginning, Middle, and End Twist League Topic

Player - Beginning, Middle, and End Twist League. Here is how it works, pick a player (exclusive to each owner), you select the year he started, two more years through out his career, and the last year he played (all years must be at least two full years apart from each other). Select any players he played with from those four years and twist them to any year that they played in thier careers. Your choosen player must be one of the players on your roster (does not have to be a starting player however). 160 Mil, No to Clones,AAA, Waiver, and Trades, Yes to DH. Stadium must be from one of the team years taken. Here is my pick as an example: Riggs Stephenson 1921/1926/1929/1934. Post your selections here in the forum. I will send out the league # when we start to fill. Owners may add a second team if they wish, I may add another team as well, once we are at least half full. This should be fun.

I'm in. We only use one version of our player, right? And therefore their "first" and "last" season are their first/last seasons on baseball-reference? Or are they first/last on WIS?
2/24/2017 2:43 PM
One version of your player only (twisted to any year they played). Baseball-Referance used for first and last years (If they played for more than one team in that single year, either can be used)
2/24/2017 3:53 PM
I will try with Ricky Henderson 1979/1985/1993/2003

Reserving Eddie Collins for now
2/24/2017 8:58 PM (edited)
Good choices - Both had long carreers with more than one team, Collins covers some teams with exceptional players (especially the pitching)
2/25/2017 8:35 AM
Tris Speaker (1907,1915, 1920, 1927)

Bullet Joe Bush - Years and stadium TBD

Yo Fan41. After looking at this for quite awhile last night. it is virtually impossible to spend 160 mil on a Henderson team and be competitive. Still in but will look for other option today

You can change your pick, but most teams will wind up having super benches and an over amount of pitching innings (which may be needed).

Ooph, great pick
2/25/2017 11:17 AM
Speaker and Bush two other excellent choices, I would have taken Speaker for my 2nd team if no one else had. I've had a fun time looking, I've got a few more choices up my sleeve if no one else takes them before then. I'll wait till at least eight are in before I enter another team (I am bitting a the bit already).

Time to do some painting.
My choice will be Dennis Eckersley.
1975 Cleveland Indians, 1998 Boston Red Sox, and a bunch of research to do before deciding on the middle two teams.
