So I get a total of 1 draft pick that has to be a RP? That will give me 11 total pitchers, which basically means I'll be stuck with the same 10 all season. I could possibly make a trade, but that looks doubtful since most teams look short on pitching. Are my assumptions correct?

I vote DH

Not exactly, because the 80s AutoDraft calls for only 10P, but you have to have at least 5 RP but not necessarily any "pure" RP. And once the season begins you can drop to 23 players minimum, not 24 like the other sets.

Red Sox are in a similar position. There are only 27 players total, but 4 of them are catchers so that takes me down to 25. The actual players matches the correct ratio for the AutoDraft with 10 P and 15 B, but there are only 4 RP. In addition, the total salary is just over $95M.
How do I handle all that? And PLEASE don't say to pick another team!

It looks as if you missed Bo Jackson, who should be a Royal.

And finally, one last player on the wrong team is John Lowenstein. He should be on Cleveland. He never played for the White Sox.

For the Red Sox, you start with 27 players including all the minimum requirements. You can draft one player. For the autodraft, leave off your 3 most expensive players to get in under the 80 mil cap, then during the preseason you can make roster moves to get your roster down to 23. You have exclusive rights to all the Red Sox plus your one free agent; so you make roster moves without any fear that another team can pick up your players.

Thank you Falcon29 for the three corrections. I have made those adjustments to the rosters.

we need a new replacement manager.

Franchise draft order will be the reverse of records in the 70s after game 81. The replacement managers will pick second-to-last (just before me); however, Mattciccolini is guaranteed one of tthe Expos or the Yankees. So, if either the Expos or Yanks are picked earlier in the draft, then the other team goes to Mattciccolini.
