Golden Era loading---load when ready, SOM will re-order

Not that this will help but if one of those 3 hadn't bee picked I probably would have picked Eck. I just went Willie since Eck will be there for me next round.

That is, only if Boston doesn't have 5 guys picked up by the time your turn comes in

There are some good candidates in that group if you ask me...

edit: I better not list those players and jinx my own team

Luis Tiant is already taken
Danny Darwin by Houston
Fred Lynn by the Angels
Reggie Smith by the Dodgers
Bruce Hurst by anyone since SanDiego wasn't taken
Bill Spaceman Lee by the Expos

Ssssshhhh. I had the Indians last time so don't mess with my strategy, even if it is flawed. Or maybe I have some guys picked and Eck can't be picked at all. It will come down to HAL's coin flip between Boston & me for that 6th round pick in the draft. Realistically, I probably won't get that high with the guys I have left but I don't want to list any players just in case some team isn't thinking about them.

Bruce Hurst by anyone since SanDiego wasn't taken

I'm sure that Geoff will be quite surprised to hear that.

You're right !!!

all right, round 2 will begin...everybody's players are back at risk.

I will post the order shortly for round 2, remember this is NOT a snake draft, so we are back to Geoff.

The max players you can lose per round is 3, unless you lost 3 in the first round in which case you can only lose 2 this round.

I will try to keep them updated, so you may see something like this

Paul Long(LAD) - Player Name (SF1/4) meaning that it's the first SF player taken in this round, but 4th overall. This will let us know when a team is at 5 and there players are unavailable (or at 3 for the round).

undrafted teams: Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians

I have a cool idea. In the days before interleague play began about 20 years ago, when there were just 6 teams in each division, as our league has now, MLB teams played 18 games each against divisional foes and 12 games each against teams outside of the division in their league.

Last season SOM accommodated our league request to have the playoffs consist of just the divisional winners, just as the MLB playoffs were before wild cards and interleague play. Along those same lines, why don't we ask SOM if they could schedule our teams using the MLB pre-interleague play schedule set forth above, with two divisional champs and two wild cards in each league (AL & NL) and them have the AL and NL champs play each other in the World Series?

SOM seems as though they would be willing to consider such a format, and it would set a nice precedent for franchise league play, giving franchise league creators another scheduling option.

It would probably be easier to set up if the league was all DH or all non DH.

What do you think, gentlemen? Has anyone ever requested such from SOM previously?

Good idea. Don't know if anyone has tried to do it before but I would like the 18 games/12 game format.
