Baseball's Greatest Managers Season II

I just know that the Main Line Expos are going to snatch my managerial choice right in front of me.

Well I suggested we randomly deal out the managers and so the strat gods have given me the equivalent to that…will be interesting to see who is left at the end…actually fine my slot since I would not know who to take anyway. Cheers and thanks Andy…

I think pick 22 made the finals last year. Lots of work looking at available teams but probably the most fun league I have been in.

Yes, all very cool to see who managed whom…

1787 selects lou pinella

1787 selects lou pinella

+106 run diff last season and last place in the division. Primed for a rebound.
