Dr Freeze,

Early on in this thread's dialogue, bontomn had said "count me in" but he hadn't signed up for a team at that point.

Think you ought to contact him and see if he wanted the last spot?

Just wanted to confirm Mr. Cub...

He's carded in '57 & '59, but he did play in 1953 for the Cubbies.

So, like Mantle he's good to go right?

We will give him a shot

That is correct anyone who played in the 53 season or prior is eligible...and you may use any card in the set...57 and 59 are good to go

I was thinking about the NeL cards ... autodraft might be simpler, but don't you think it would be better to do a quick two-round draft that would allow the talent to be distributed evenly? The autodraft leaves so much to luck (esp. because everyone will have their two best choices ranked 1-2 -- it'll truly be a crapshoot, no "ranking" skill required like in a full autodraft.) Someone could make off with, say, Gibson and Charleston and get a really unfair advantage. Whereas if we take a little more time to do a draft, everyone will get a definite chance for at least one prime player to fill a roster hole.

Just a thought ...

That would be fine with me...lets get a vote...majority rule. my vote would be two rounds serpentine...random ranking...

I vote hell yeah.

OK with me also - two rounds serpentine.
But I didn't understand or follow this excerpt from above
