Thanks to RJs nomination of 8 starting pitchers, we now have 24 pitchers that can start nominated through 10/12 of Round 1. It is looking like we will have plenty of starting pitching. So, during the draft, there will be no upper limit on the number of starters that each team can draft, unless it becomes mathematically impossible for a team to have 5 pitchers that can start.

Wow, Round 1 is pitcher heavy. So, the worst of the worst are mostly pitchers. Combined with poor fielding, we are going to see some high scoring in this league.

The following is the list of nominated players that each owner cannot draft:

Jett:
Astrodome

Hitters: Hague, Joe; Manuel, Charlie; Whitfield, Fred

RJ:
Jarry Park

The top of this thread shows all of the nominated players.

From time-to-time I'll be editing the list of players that each owner has nominated; eliminating players after they've been drafted. So, near the end of the draft, the lists will be very short.

can I suggest not editng
so we can be clear on trade possibiliies
dan

you can trade for players that you nominated. You just can't draft them.

Jett needs to repick for Hannan

As it turns out, Jett drafted Jim Hardin not Jim Hannan. Well, that's very different! . . . nevermind..


And what's all this fuss I hear about making Puerto Rico a steak? Next thing you know, they'll want a baked potato with sour cream!
