ANDY'S ALTERNATE HISTORY 13.0

I understand the rules as you state them, it’s just different than I was reading them that’s all. I tend to be odd at times

No problem. This thing has probably grown organically with the same 15-18 managers playing it, so I understand we may have a few discrepancies to flesh out in the league full of new guys.
I don't see any significant players this would help with your Phillies, though I see 3-4 players who will become Phillies options because the Senators, Braves, and White Sox aren't in ALT13.0.

So explain to me the strategy reason for the Browns and Indians to wait here? There has to be something I’m missing but I don’t see any other picks. It’s not like the Grove thing that I can see. Neither of them appears to be a second option in this years draft. But having missed earlier the strategy to wait for a secondary option to come free I’m sure I’m missing something here. Can someone tell me what it is?

I'm trying to decide who to make my Franchise Guy and just haven't yet. The Grove thing may only happen 5-6 times in the whole theme.
Sometimes guys wait to see what they think there draft slot will be, or they may, like me, just not be completely sure which direction to go.
I try to post Franchise Picks by Game 141 in the current season. I encourage picks to be made if you know who you want, but if a manager needs to wait that's ok too.

Ok. I just thought there was another nuance I was missing here.
