All SPB II Managers,  Here is a total list of all players who did not make 50% of their required SPB playing time during the 1956 season.  A great job on this, as no significant players are involved!!  Congrats to all managers on a fine job!  Overall only 39 players are on this list!

 

Here are all players who will be released after the World Series for 1956 is completed.  They are listed by team and will return in the 1957 rookie draft, a future rookie draft which will have the year they return beside their names, or if an asterik follows the name, then that player is finished and will never return.
