4. Devil Rays @ Angels, 4/28/2000

Cicero: Welcome! Here are six pages for you:

1. Pirates @ Reds 4/15/1924
2. Royals @ White Sox, 5/11/2012

6. 3B Jim Davenport 1958-70

* Lefty Mike Rochford had three call-ups to the Red Sox, and didn't succeed at any of them: career ERA 9.58. His AAA replacement will be 1940 Herman Besse.

Too bad you don't get to twist Walter Johnson !

razorclams: Welcome back! Here are your six pages to build from:

1. Indians @ Black Sox 6/23/1919
2. 1933 Red Sox Uniform Numbers [any two players on their roster for that season]
3. Indians @ Athletics 8/24/1946
4. Year-by-Year Top Tens, Leaders and Records for Base-Out Wins Added (REW) - see below
5. Giants @ Braves, 4/20/1931 2nd game of doubleheader
6. Royals @ Rangers, 6/19/1991

About that weird page above: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/rew_bat_top_ten.shtml
You're allowed to take any four players shown on the page, which is a who's who of offensive leaders from each season back to 1925. So your team should have some great offensive stars! But those four guys are going to suck up a lot of payroll, too. I hope you drew some pitching to go with them !

I am traveling the rest of the week, will try to check in and post the draws for new owners either late in the evening or first thing in the morning.

Who's next?
4/24/2018 7:37 AM
I will try again

I think I know the answer to this but just for clarification-if you have a player page and the player does not have a sim season for one or more of those seasons,I assume you can't use him for that season? To be specific,Hal Breeden is 1971-75 but does not have a sim season for 1971-so I can only use him and teammates from the 72-75 seasons?
4/24/2018 3:59 PM
That is my understanding. I have a similar situation and I would much rather use the non-WIS season as the teammates are better fits than the WIS eligible season.

I used to make you use only the sim seasons for a player assigned to you, but that was when you got 12 pages and had more options. I'm okay with the more liberal interpretation you suggest, so you can use a 200k Hal Breeden and his teammates from '71.

Please deal me in.
4/24/2018 7:31 PM
Deal me in as well - (thanks in advance for six really good pages)...

specs man: Welcome back! I'm posting this from my phone, so apologies for any formatting shenanigans due to autocorrect:

1. Cubs @ Pirates, 5/12/1951
2. Reds @ Padres, 7/8/1969
3. Athletics @ Rangers, 6/6/1990
4. 1935 Boston Red Sox pitching (must take 4 who appeared as a pitcher that season)
5. P. Whitey Ford 1950-67 (!)
6. P Dick Errickson 1938-42

sounds like a pretty good draw to me

sevenfifty5: Welcome. Your pick six:

1. Browns @ Tigers 6/24/1921
2. Mariners @ Orioles 5/9/1997
3. 1999 New York Yankees batting orders (no pitchers, only hitters who started at least one game)
4. Reds @ Braves 7/22/1913. 2nd game of doubleheader
5. Athletics @ Indians 7/20/1919
6. * O-C-2 Bill Harbridge 1875-84

For Bill Harbridge's teammates, you can take any teammate who had a sim-eligible season in their first eligible year, or other teammates who retired by 1885 as 200k players and I will find stand-ins for them. I will get back to you later with the best proxy for Harbridge!

EDIT: Closest comp I can find for Harbridge is 1890 Joe Kappel
