A.L.-Only TV Detective League Draft Thread

24-round live draft to be held on this board. You must draft 23 players and one unique A.L. stadium (listed below). Final two draft picks will be autodrafted (feel free to put them at the top of your list, unless for some strategy reason you do not want to). We will do waivers.

The D.H. will be on. Only players associated with an American League team in the Player Set are eligible to be drafted.

$80 million limit; no unleashed players. (Note that if you take the salaries of the 168 highest-paid AL batters and 132 highest-paid AL pitchers, they add up to $954.18 million, or $79.515 million per team. Many teams will likely have room for at least one minimum salary player after the draft.)

Yeah, I was little surprised you chose Hanser Alberto in the 1st round with his .143 BA, .143 OBP, .161 SLUG. He can field fairly well though.
