I PM'd Chancellor and ControllerJ ... but no no reply.

Thought maybe CJ would be able to play with the delayed start.

I'll go through the list and see if there's anyone we forgot. I asked Swampdragon, but he says it's not his pace.

Sorry, thought I replied - definitely out for this one.

We could have a community team. We would take turns picking for the additional team. It would be kind of like KO's, but a little different. Anyway, where are we on this ? Still 8 X 8 vintage era ? Start sometime next week ?

Let's start on Monday ... looks like we are 11. That will give everyone a few days to prep. I'll grab all the eligible players and post them in a separate SS before the main Spreadsheet is ready.

I sent random numbers so if someone sends names you can post the draft order...

[The Feral Slasher]

Yeah an eligible 1919 year is good. 1920 is not good.

So Babe Ruth is draftable, because he has 2 eligible years in the 1910's.

So just to be clear, we can draft any hitter or pitcher as long as the year we draft is prior to 1920 ? Do we have any other restrictions like decades, names,

Let's go with:

(1) a minimum of 4 hitters OR pitchers from every decade from 1870 to 1920, hitters or pitchers.

(2) a maximum of 6 players from any given decade

So the 1870's will be the QUIZY ENVY period ... but it won't be quite as harsh as having to pick 5 1870's players.

this might be interesting, but I think the early picks will have a huge advantage in this one...

One of the high-lights of meeting up with TranaGreg last night was his girlfriends amazement that anyone could find Eld off-putting.

What are you even talking about, who finds ElD offputting ?

[heyelander]

I just explained that he could sometimes be passionate about his opinions.

[heyelander]

I've met TranaGreg and his girlfriend, although I'm not sure if he still has the same girlfriend, as it was a few years ago. They were both very nice people, considerably moreso than me.

She seemed to think you were one of the sweetest guys she had ever met.

[mjl]

she called you a snugglebunny. it was getting kind of weird honestly.

[heyelander]

We are all brothers in here

2:21 am pacific, and it's just johnny, me and 60 spiders on the website.

Possibly. I think it's more likely that the 1870s players all go way too early.

When we did the other two era-based drafts, did we set decade limits?
