American & National League Two Team League LEAGUE IS FULL

[Risden]

Sorry for posting the same thing twice - is anyone having continued difficulties getting into the message boards? It's ben tough over the last few hours.

Thanks for the note on the Royals. I did consider the Royals, but I thought the main weakness of the Giants was an everyday SS and a bullpen. The Angels offered more help in those two spots (Fregosi, Tatum, Wilhelm) than the Royals could offer, IMHO.

Again, I think this is a great concept for a league. Lots of secod-guessing will be possible and there's no room for improvement once you pick your teams and your stadium.

Risden I am having problems getting in the forum also. Keeps saying something about array error. Could be why things have slowed. Guys can't get in.

OK. I thought Cleveland might be taken last, but the Cubs have no CF defense, some guys on Cleveland can DH and McDowell completed a pretty decent rotation.

LMB I'll take the Yanks if you'd rather get the Royals..

LMBombers,

I think you should take an alternate name, like New York Highlanders instead of New York Yankees, too generic.

Go with the historical NY Highlanders, first name of the Yankees.

[genegrid]

How about NY Metro Yankees?

[SEANCALHOON]

That'l work.

Maybe this is my NY bias coming out too, although I did enjoy watching their first few 90's championships, with Boggs, O'Neil, Leyritz (only for 1/2 a year though)...etc.

maybe it is cause I really am not a steinbrenner fan :evil:

But, I just would rather not see New York Yankees, more so because it is an actual single teams name.

Just thought I would offer an idea. :)

You should make your second pick?

[the splinter]

I thought Assmeriten had picked.

[LMBombers]

Splinter, Hooner has to wait on Assmeriten before he can pick his second team.

I don't like the New York Yankees name either since I am a Red Sox fan. I will use the NY Metro Yankees name.

Memphisjohn, I considered the Royals and the Pilots but thought the Yankees matched up best with the Mets. I have no 3B however. I will have to use sub-1M players at 3B. Yuck

Jamie399 - You can go ahead and pick your AL team if you like. Hopefully we will hear from Assmeriten soon so the NL teams can get picked.

I am done with my draft. If anyone would like to send me a PM with their proxies I will be glad to process your proxy.

[SEANCALHOON]

LMBombers, at least you are not deciding between Tom Tresh and Don Money (Phi.) or Maury Wills( L.A.) or Bobby Wine (Mon.) or Tommy Dean (S.D.)

Not the best SS group defensively.
