Franchise Partners Plus League

BTW Bernie, putting Big Josh and Eddie Mathews in your lineup cures a great deal of the pain from getting 12th pick!

I hope that once we're drafted Vinnie will share with us another of his "Street & Smith's" previews! I look forward to them! Not to put any undue pressure on him!

I am sure I can generate another ha ha

Travelling today. Should be all good after tomorrow.

Johnny Bench - on my phone again so can't copy/paste.

Just to be clear, after the draft are the players eligible to be used as our one or two free agents still limited to the same grouping or will everyone undrafted from all other teams also become part of the pool?

I guess we're ready to start the league, Harry.

BTW Bernie, putting Big Josh and Eddie Mathews in your lineup cures a great deal of the pain from getting 12th pick!

Harry, every team improved as a result of the draft picks. Don't forget, 5 teams behind me also got two draft picks each to meet their needs. The teams with only one pick each didn't have as many holes to fill.

I could still use some starting pitching. McLain just doesn't cut it as the ace of the staff at this cap. Newhouser should have a better card. Hell, he only won the pitcher's triple rrown.

Call me greedy, but it sure would have been nice if SOM had updated Detroit expansion with Verlander, Scherzer, Miggy and Dean Palmer, and had updated Arizona with Brandon Webb, Paul Goldschmidt and Steve Finley, but then they would not have been available with pick 12.

This should be both challenging and fun.
