The Senators have drafted: Joe Morgan, Amos Otis, Phil Niekro, Bill Freehan & Andy Messersmith. No cheapy players for them. That is half a rotation and great defense up the middle just in free agents. They may be drafting 12th in 1971.

The problem is the rest of the team...there is a reason that I have Steinbrenner type money to spend. I still have next to no bullpen. After the two aforementioned starters it will be homerun derby for the other team. But yes, I am now strong up the middle and, if I get some lucky cards, I could do better than expected.

Carl (Senators)

Danny Thompson, please.

Paul, the Reds have only 19 roster players. I am assuming that the 25th man (after including the 5 free agent picks) will be an autodraft, out of the remaining free agents?

(It will be a low salary guy anyway, but I'll be careful not to select anyone taken in the FA draft).
