DOUBLE FRANCHISE - Draft Concluded - Time to Start

I don't understand. Why aren't pre 1900 players available? Keefe is listed as a dead ball Giant. I knew some weasel would make off with Mathewson and maybe the freak but I had Keefe as my second back up. Commissioner decision please.

What's the problem with the pre-1900 guys? Some reasonable prospects there like Duffy, Hamilton, Delahanty, Keefe, Bradley who Strat lists with one of the original 16 franchises.

p.s. Yes nomad, my $140 teams are all located in Purgatory.

GREAT QUESTION.....all pre1900 players will be eligible to be drafted by all during the seasons, just not franchisable as one of the 2 franchise guys

Just trying to move things along.

What year for the Wagner card? Assuming 1908....

It's too late now but what we could have done was to add a keeper per league to our franchise players. So by the 4th league you would have 2 franchise players and 3 keepers.

I would second this. We have time to decide and ultimately should be agreed on by the group.
