SPB-100 1907 Drafts Completed.
LAS VEGAS, NV -   For the second year running, the SPB-100 Draft saw the top pick trade hands just minutes before the draft was scheduled to begin.  The St. Louis Perfectos traded the top pick to the Coal City Blue Flames for the Flames #1 (Ed Konotchy) and "Big" Ed Walsh.  Their was little surprise that the Flames selected starting pitcher Walter Johnson with the top selection.  The remainder of the draft saw a few more big names, but the talent evaporated quickly, resulting in a long, grueling draft that last over 8 rounds.  Now that the drafts are completed, trading is re-opened.  We should have the database in your hands at some point in November, hopefully before Thanksgiving.
