So.....how is the franchise determined again? Sorry if this has been discussed. Sounds like it's not based on the BY?

Edit: Ah, the franchises are listed on the spreadsheet. Sweet.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Johnny---I did my check on the spreadsheet, but only found 36 franchises. The current 30 plus BLO, CLV, LOU, OEF, ONA, and PHA. Any clue what the last franchise is? And wow, as far as I can tell, that franchise has no hitters on the spreadsheet only with that franchise, lol. Might not matter much.

Is the last franchise the old Washington Senators (1891-99)? If so, we didn't sort it right, because their best player was Kip Selbach, who did play for them for 5 years, but is listed as WSN (the current Nationals, who he obviously never played for). I think this is the team, but the spreadsheet doesn't show it. I think those player(s) (I don't know if Selbach is the only one; but WSN certainly shouldn't have any deadball players---they were an expansion franchise in 1969.

I think this has to be it, but it is an easy fix---there are only seven WHS players on the spreadsheet: Bill Joyce (also SFG), Gene DeMontreville, Duke Farrell, Deacon McGuire, Kip Selbach, Win Mercer, and Al Maul. I can only see two usually getting drafted.

Originally posted by cavebird View PostCan I have a couple days on the 25 consensus. I think I like it, but I would like to do a little research on how deep the franchises are---we might need 27 to make franchises have some bite. Not sure yet.
There are 37 franchises, some are very weak, and overall i'd say that Franchises are more open than either letters or Decades.
That said we have expanded the participants this draft also. That's a consideration also.

Originally posted by cavebird View PostI suspect that it is the same as WHS, but the spreadsheet I downloaded had deadball players for WSN, which can't be right. I don't care if it is WAS or WHS (B-R's term), but to do my prep on franchises, I would like to know what it is.
