Well I guess I was lying about no more suggestions. If you chose the Upic option instead of auto pick it would be easier to match a Negro leaguer to a player similar in skill. If not its a bit of a crapshoot. I don't think Big Josh in Mauer or Cochrane body make as much sense as Piazza or Bench, right? Or at least give us more AAAers to pick from. Maybe 12/4 and we only rename 6/2 and bring only those 8 up. Any thoughts?

Also id like reserve Ebbets Field for the Brooklyn Brown Dodgers.

I thought about that too.
There is more variety to pick from if we did that too.
Lets go 12/4 and pick the best 8 out of what we get. This is really unscientific for sure.
Maybe 24/12

My team will be the 1924 Detroit Stars, playing at Navin Field aka Tiger Stadium.

Don't understand why you have abandoned the pick-your-own AAA players, though.

I havent
24 position players 8 pitchers
You pick 6 position players from that bunch of 24 and 2 pitchers from the 8
rename them and you have your best AAA players of the bunch in honor of the Negro league players

We are the St. Louis Stars and will play in Sportsman's Park (III).

Is everyone familiar with the great movie "The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings"? That one and the original Bad News Bears were my favorites as a kid.
