You can click the 'View player set:' box, pick '2019 season Unleashed' and view those specific cards if you like.
Wow, I had no idea there even was such a link. Thank you! I see.
Okay, I got it (takes me a while but I get there. I never expected to look this dumb at 70 but then again the stairs aren't getting any easier either

)
Then, to the issue. I've actually been satisfied with the progress my team has made since I took it over when the franchise was a squatter at the gates of hell. Slow, yes, but look at my starting rotation after two years. It's getting there. And, tbh, the way this league is set up as is I think it has a *real* feel when one is in a rebuilding phase. It has sent me back to the published reports on players and prospects and I've had a blast trying to find prospects. For once I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about when my buds and I are at a Sox game and we're getting clobbered so hard we start talking baseball instead of watching Reinsdorf's carnage. And when one comes through, like Bobby Miller for me this coming season (and Ricky Tiedemann soon), there's a sense that for once in my life I actually know what the f I'm talking about.
In my small amount of time here I've come to understand that the prospect draft can be more important than the FA draft, especially in my situation, and if you don't want immediate results.
I'm going to put my vote down below but I can go either way. I think if we institute the "unleashed" availables
we should do it when no one's draft choices have been traded away already. I don't trade a lot of picks, but if I had and then discovered the talent pool is being expanded I'd feel a bit squirrelly about not having all the proper information when I made the trade. So I'm going to vote "no," but would vote "yes" if we start it in a year when everyone still has their original picks in hand.
So it's a "no" for now, but conditional. I would vote "yes" in future if we know it's coming.
