I just found out I will be away for the weekend and have little Internet access, so I would be unable to participate in waivers. I don't want to hold up the league so I'm withdrawing. Good luck to all and hopefully I'll catch MLB 7.

I am temporarily placing my Western Division Philadelphia Athletics into Eastern Division to allow Ed2014 and budabear78 to enter and keep the line moving until someone chooses Franchise #4 Manager: Detroit Tigers
Minor League Affiliate: Toronto Blue Jays / Montreal Expos 1969-2004 / Washington Nationals 2005-2016.
Once we have a franchise 4 manager I will move to my designated division.

Also remember on team names, they should be exact as played in Major League Baseball without any symbols or combinations of different cities or team monikers.

Thank you,

I will change my name to the exact name of the franchise without symbols.

I have a question regarding the Braves. Baseball-reference has that franchise dating back to 1876, but you list eligible years beginning 1941. Does this mean that for any year prior to 1941, players on the Boston Braves, or Bees, etc are not eligible for the Braves franchise?

I mentioned only a few years for each of the different franchises, for a complete list please visit BaseballReference.com.

Here are a few examples below:

Braves:

Atlanta Braves (4174-3944 W-L, 1966 - 2016)
Milwaukee Braves (1146-890 W-L, 1953 - 1965)
Boston Braves (2459-3005 W-L, 1912 - 1935, 1941 - 1952
Boston Bees (355-406 W-L, 1936 - 1940)
Boston Rustlers (44-107 W-L, 1911)
Boston Doves (219-389 W-L, 1907 - 1910)
Boston Beaneaters (1742-1465 W-L, 1883 - 1906)
Boston Red Stockings (299-226 W-L, 1876 - 1882)

Yankees:

New York Yankees (9350-6889 W-L, 1913 - 2016)
New York Highlanders (734-759 W-L, 1903 - 1912)

Giants:

San Francisco Giants (4884-4517 W-L, 1958 - 2016)
New York Giants (5959-4798 W-L, 1885 - 1957)
New York Gothams (108-100 W-L, 1883, 1884)

Dodgers:

Los Angeles Dodgers (5048-4353 W-L, 1958 - 2016)
Brooklyn Dodgers (2339-1958 W-L, 1911, 1912, 1932 - 1957)
Brooklyn Robins (1375-1341 W-L, 1914 - 1931)
Brooklyn Superbas (879-1030 W-L, 1899 - 1910, 1913)
Brooklyn Bridegrooms (440-374 W-L, 1888 - 1890, 1896 - 1898)
Brooklyn Grooms (362-319 W-L, 1891 - 1895)
Brooklyn Grays (189-194 W-L, 1885 - 1887)
Brooklyn Atlantics (40-64 W-L, 1884)


Thank you for the question, I apologize for any confusion

Good luck.

Thank you. And another clarification is that you may only have on your roster players that have played for your franchise at one point or another, or players who only played for a franchise not listed. I think it is obvious but it is good to spell that out. So for example, Ed Seward played for a team called the Philadelphia Athletics. But that team is not, according to baseball Reference, linked to the Oakland Athletics. So Ed Seward would be a free agent, but should not be on someone's draft card - he can only be picked up in waivers or post waivers.

I placed the older Philadelphia Athletics 1882-1890 franchise with the Cubs/White Sox to allow Ed Seward into our league, any others that are not represented by a listed team will have to remain in free agency, Negro League Stars are available during waivers.

I missed that. Thanks for the clarification.
