YIKES!!!! Shifting Sands Draft Thread

[memphisjohn]

MR. BBW, as long as their cumulative I think they can it can work. The rule I'm worried about is the Godfather rule, and if we can maintain the integrity of some of the other rules (positions from the same decade, etc.)

This may have been addressed I and haven;t gotten caught up yet. If so, let me know and I'll keep my mouth shut... :)

[Mr Baseball World]

It was written to be cumulative. It was expanded a bit. It is now no longer an issue with the last revision and we can draft without hearing about it again.

[Mr Baseball World]

Willie Mays was intended to be worth 8 points. He makes it up to 11 points with the early revisions(extra one for black extra 2 for pre-54)(If he was a Monarch make those numbers 10 and 16 respectively)

With the new 25 point rule and the automatic 15 whoever drafted Mays has fully complied with the O'Neil points rule. Tonight i will update the points through wherever we are then and by sometime tomorrow update again when everyone has reached compliance other than drafting your one negro league player. We can all forget this then.

[Mr Baseball World]

back to work

Can someone e-mail me at rld@ptitle.com if my turn comes up before 5 pm. Gotta be careful about my online at work

Is anybody/everybody monitoring AL/NL alternating pics? Perhaps managers should specify leagues to make sure they’re on that ball.

For five Negro Leagues points, I share that I picked my manager, Jud Wilson, because of his nickname, “Boojum”. Can you think of a cooler nickname? Team name is in deference to Jud, as he was on the team for a period. That and the name was not taken. 

uncle - yount is gone, plus they are both 1's in defense, so unless you plan on dh'ing one of them, that doesnt work.
