The Dirty Dozen is a 12 team single season progressive, which started in 1920. We need a new owner for the Boston Braves who play in the National League. We have two divisions of 6 teams, and the two pennant winners meet for the World Series. There is no DH (its the 1930's!), trades are encouraged, and you can use AAA though they are usually just bench fodder (low quality). There has been a strong core from the start but have taken on a few new owners over the years.

Note - Boston Braves have Babe Ruth, Carl Hubbell and Red Faber. They finished second in the NL last season but did trade away their first, second and third round picks in their drive to win the pennant (they finished one game back). They otherwise have the 12 draft pick.

In our league, owners must keep a maximum of 20 players, to prevent teams from retaining too much talent. The draft usually runs over a few days.

So who will step up to the plate and take over this stacked team?

I'll take it

OK we need another owner. neabaseball said he's too busy to manage the team, but kindly offered to send a gift certificate to the new owner to pay for their first season.

Rules as noted above. I am preparing the 1933 draft, likely to start off the clock this weekend. Team in question is the New York Titans, out of Polo Park V. They have the 6th pick in each round of the draft. As noted, there are 12 teams in the league, with two 6 team divisions. Division winners play each other for the World Series. You can keep maximum 20 players. There is a draft lottery for the bottom four teams at game 120.

Team has Jimmy Foxx, Arky Vaughan, and Oral Hildebrand.

Below is who I think should be the keepers for the NY Titans 1933 Draft. Feel free to make any changes.
