[Guido13]

OtherRyno selects Bruce Sutter, Arcade, RP
Bonny selects Lee Smith, Arcade, RP
Bastardo selects Rollie Fingers, Arcade RP

ultimate7 is up...

text update attached.

[ultimate7]

Sutter is already gone to Bonny, does other want to change before I make my pick?

[OctoFranco]

Sutter is also mislabeled as a SP in the text file...

And while I'm here, a quick question that has probably already been answered somewhere:  Do we have to have four infielders in our starting line-up, or just somewhere on the roster (be it bench or starter)?

[ultimate7]

4 IF in your starting lineup, I thought

Another question, this is a 16 round draft right?  Are we still doing FAs afterward to have extra on the roster?  If so does that mean I can draft 3 SP, and then add a bench player through FA, or do we have to draft 2 SP and 2 RP + 12 batters?

[Guido13]

Sutter will be changed to RP in next update...

OtherRyno switched his pick to Lew Burdette, Arcade, RP


I suppose if you want to draft three starters that is fine and just fill your bench void with a FA, however the active pitchers can only included 2 starters at a time.

We are doing the FA thing up to a $150 mil payroll per season... ...which is a set amount available per team because of the draft this season but should shake out differently once original contracts start to expire next season.

[Attezzobal]

Lew Burdette was a spitballer, I say we ban him from our league (Joe Niekro on the other hand, he's a valued member of my team and we scoff at any allegations)

[ultimate7]

Carl Hubbel, RP

Whitey Ford, SP, NYY, Arcade
