Hank and the Babe: both AL players. Memphis needs to repick, I believe

[giddyup81]

bigmahon: My rule meant AL/NL your individual picks for example:
Round 1-AL
Round 2-NL
Round 3-AL
Round 4-NL

Anyone can pick anything they want the first round as long as the second round they pick the opposite.

If I understand the rules correctly, I think we may have a problem merging the required Negro League player with the "different decade" rule. Here are the 16 Negro players in ATG 3, the base positions they play, and decade they are carded for:
H. Aaron - OF - 50's
G. Altman - OF - 50's
S. Bowens - OF - 60's
L. Doby - OF - 50's
W. Mays - OF - 60's
D. Pope - OF - 50's
C. Harmon - OF/IF - 50's
M. Minoso - OF/IF - 50's
A. Smith - OF/IF - 50's
J. Robinson - OF/IF - 50's
J. Gilliam - IF - 50's
E. Banks - IF - 50's
E. Howard - C/IF - '60s
R. Campanella - C - 50's
J. Black - SP/RP - 50's
J. Wyatt - RP - 60's
So, all qualified NLPs are from the 50's & 60's. This means that a [i:94f5be35e6]minimum[/i:94f5be35e6] of 8 of us will be drafting IF or OFs from the 50's & 60's only (12 OF/IFs, 2 P, 1 C & 1 C/IF). Doesn't that seem [i:94f5be35e6]too[/i:94f5be35e6] restricting? Or am I not understanding things correctly? :?

[quote:37f70e7395]C. 1 point for every black player on your team(2 points if he played in the majors prior to 1954, 3 points if he played in the Negro leagues and 5 points if he played on the Kansas City Monarchs team at any point in his career). [/quote:37f70e7395]

Point of clarification. Do we get points for each of these qualification criterea? If so, then I get 14 points for Ernie since he qualifies for all of them, as well as the "b" and HOF name.
