Here is the link for the rules. This draft us using years 2002-05. You must draft one team from each year (so one year, you will have two teams)

Round 1 Draft Order
1.pedrocerrano
2.firesalt
3.redcped
4.markeking

This is an untimed draft. When you make a selection, list the team's real life win-loss record so you can keep track of the subsequent draft order. Please site-mail the next person up. Somebody should keep track of each round's draft order since I am not in this league.

I'll start with the 2004 Cardinals (105-57 .648)

Side question: I tried to download our spreadsheets from our R1 league, and only 3 files were in the zip folder: Playoff Batting, Season Fielding, and Standings. None helpful. Is there a way to get the full set somehow?

Don't know what to tell you. I don't use the zip file downloads.

redcped - I didn't even know about these. I see what you mean though. I checked two of the leagues I was in and neither have what looks like a full set of files.

It was worth a shot. I thought it might be helpful to look at how players performed in the first round, since we have the same pool of likely players in this draft.

I don't do any post-season analytics on my teams, though I probably should at some point. I could probably learn a lot about what works and doesn't work. I should hire some MIT grads to do it, just like MLB teams do.

You can still clock on the teams' rosters. That's what I've been doing.

Glad to see this show is on the road. I'll take

2002 Boston Red Sox: 93-59 (.564)

redcped has been real busy and says he should be able to get ready to make his pick on Saturday.
