Rolling the dice with the Seattle Pilots. I just have to.

Wow. No one picked the Mets?

Or the Cards, or the Giants, or the Phillies, or the Twins, or the Dodgers......

I can see this format playing out very differently every year.

Oh yea, this will be interesting for many attempts.

I'm already regretting picking the O's, but I liked Earl Weaver's teams and wanted to see them play together. It's going to be way cool seeing the Reds and A's together. After a couple of losing seasons, that curiosity may go stale. But F' it. Get to see the Robinson's , Boog, the Blade, Paul Blair, Dempsey all on the same team together. It may turn me into a fielding convert. The big three all retire after season 5, that should be fun.

I always imagined the O's pitching was much better than the way its reflected in Strat. McNally and Cueller have good cards, but Palmers cards are all pretty disappointing. The Dodgers pitching cards are pretty blah too.I recall Messersmith , Hooten and John all as pitching gods- not in Strat though. Same for the Red's bullpen.

(I'll only list the first 13 Rounds here for brevity; will post Round 14 including everyone once we get there.)
When every Top 16 protects their players, I will post the Dispersal Draft Players eligible for Dispersal. Then I will give a TRADE DEADLINE. When it passes, Dispersal Draft begins.
