Harry: I rpinted the free agent eligibility rules as you previously described them.

What about Mets and Twins? It wasn't your intent to exclude them from the free agent pool, was it? Are Mets and Twins players eligible to be drafted?

Thanks for the good work, Bernie! My intention was to include all the teams; in all candor somehow the Mets just slipped my mind! As a Pirates fan, maybe it was an unconscious reaction to Dwight Gooden drilling into the head with a fastball a man who would later go on to manage the Bucs - Clint Hurdle?!

Free Agent Eligibles...

* all NeL
*all Indians
* all Braves
* all Reds
* all Browns
* all Mets
* all Twins

Remember, high salary determines ownership. Let's draft!

Bill - glad to have you back in action! You bring our game a global presence!

It was hard to pass on Maddux and Charleston, but Dodgers have good SP and CF. Feel bad for passing them by.

Yes, Jeff, it's almost an embarrassment of riches picking at the top of the pool!

Harrry...I noticed Mueller...stated Maddux...but technically isn't Maddux associated with Cubs since he has card for them or are the players the wild card group free agents unless they have the highest card ie Lajoie high card A's?

i thought players were associated with the team for which they have their highest salary card.
