Also to be fair you need to take Dick Bosman, Barry Moore and Jim Hannan off the Senators/Twins roster. They played for the expansion Senators after the Senators moved to Minnesota following the 1960 season.

Chuck Hinton and Ed Brinkman are in the same boat as well. They would be on the Senators/Rangers team if we had one.

Battey is a White Sox. I screwed up the Senators by including Bosman, Hannan and Moore, but since that was my mistake and it doesn't take those players away from another team, the Senators get to keep those players.

The Pirates weren't taken, and let's suppose I take Willie Stargell in the draft for my Red Sox. Next season when we move to the '70s, is he still property of the Red Sox?

No, in the 70s, Stargell would be property of the Pirates. You don't get to keep your draft picks in the next decade. Same goes for the Astros and Mets. But, you can switch franchises.

The expansion draft now includes the Mets and Astros. They will alternate picks with the mighty Mets picking first in each round of the 15 round draft (it is nonserpentine). Well, that takes care of my worries that the Astros will be a superteam. Let's get in our protected lists.

1. Giants 2. Reds 3. Braves 4. Dodgers 5. Pirates 6. Yankees 7. Tigers 8. Indians 9. Cards 10. White Sox 11. Red Sox 12. Senators 13. Orioles 14. Athletics 15. Phils 16. Cubs 17. Angels 18. Astros 19. Mets.

Franky, correction to the list of available Giants. Eddie Fisher is protected. Also, there is no Lanier in the 60's game.
