To Paul_Long71's question: also, assuming here that Duffy is a Brave/Brewer only. listed as SLB but never played there. when you click on card it shows his correct 1901 team as Mil.

Duffy's '01 card for Milwaukee belongs to the Orioles. Milwaukee played in the AL in 1901, then moved to St Louis to before the Browns and then to Baltimore to become the Orioles. (Baseball Reference.com)

I'll take Team #8 - Red Sox, Expos/Nats, Marlins. Could somebody please post my name next to that group?

Thanks

Thanks per the input on Duffy--I will check that out and as indicated, will send out a list of the pre 1900 players and players such as Duffy--as to which teams can draft them.
I didn't expect the league to get sign ups so quickly, this is great, I will do my research today....

please remember that I will be taking the 12th franchise, whichever one that is...I suspect it might be the Dodgers, Padres, D-Backs...

Need 4 more owners (I am the 5th). The underlined teams are the franchises still available

According to Baseball Reference
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/duffyhu01.shtml

Duffy played for the old Milwaukee Brewers in 1901
The 1901 Brewers became the Browns, which then became the Orioles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1901_Milwaukee_Brewers_season

In fact, Hugh Duffy managed the 1901 Brewers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Duffy


So Hugh Duffy will not be available in the auto draft, will be available in the 4 round supplemental draft to either the Orioles or the Braves, whichever franchise drafts him first

However--remember that franchises can only use card years for players for their franchises. So if the Orioles were to draft Duffy, they could only use his 1901 card.....

Here is the list of Pre-1900 and turn of the century Players and as to which team can claim them:

The following players can be selected in the auto-draft
Dan Brouthers: Braves.
Hugh Jennings: Dodgers.
Tip O'Neill: Cardinals.
Roger Conner: New York Giants.
Pete Browning: Pirates.
Joe Kelly: Orioles
Jake Stenzel: Pirates
Willie Keeler: Orioles
Cap Anson: Cubs
Chief Zimmer: Indians
Bill Sweeney: Braves
Jesse Burkett: Cardinals
Jocko Milligan: A's
Ginger Beaumont: Pirates

The following players, as they have cards for 2 franchises, can only be claimed in the supplemental draft.
Hugh Duffy: Orioles and Braves.
King Kelly: Braves and White Sox.
Billy Hamilton: Braves and Phillies.

If I missed any, please let me know. If you have rebuttal for any of these, let me know now, once the auto-draft runs, there will be no change in status for these players.

Thanks
