EVENT 8 Henceforth and Forever Free Agents! 1970-78; DRAFT!

I'm aware that it's my turn to make my final selection. I have to choose a pitcher, and I have $3M left. However, I may choose a cheapie in order to upgrade some of my players to better seasons.

I will be taking my time making my choice, however. In the meantime, someone can start setting up the league so that we can start entering teams.

Doug - Blair and Clines are gone.

Now hear this! I have set up a league, with the title "Henceforth and Forever Free Agents". Password of the league is dedicated to a beloved character of '70s baseball: charlieo.

Thanks for setting it up, Ken. 3 are now in - 9 to go.

The league was set up as "standard", not advanced. Does this matter?

Best joke about the Stupor Bowl: Not even Jimmy Hoffa was buried this deep in the Meadowlands.
