I was a consistent participant in this theme during its first iteration, starting with maybe the 20th or so version. Therefore, there was already a lengthy blacklist when I started researching, so I remember that there were a bunch of players who I thought would make good teams but for whom I never built teams because they were not available. However, now that the blacklist reset I can't remember any of those good players so I end up using guys who I thought were good ideas while the blacklist was massive but probably aren't as good now.

Example: I'll go with Aaron Sele
1993 Red Sox
2007 Mets

In from the wait list, I'll go with Smokey Joe Wood - 1908 Red Sox / 1922 Indians.

Well now I'm annoyed as my big brother took the guy I was going to take. Grr.

All updated

I'll take Roger Maris - 57 Tribe and -68 Cardinals.

Carl Mays, 1915 Red Sox, 1929 Giants.

All updated. I’m going with Luis Sojo and the league number has been sent out.

decided to use Mel Queen (the first one). 1942 NYY/1952 PIT
