Some notes about the rosters: When Gary was transitioning commissioner-ship and files, there were several teams who had use or lose players that somehow I missed and had not been removed. I have removed them now. (Listed below). Players who played in 1968 and were lost to use or lose were placed back into the Phase 1 Draft. In order to avoid any future confusion, if you had Future Players who were taken in the 1969 Expansion Draft held a few months ago http://bit.ly/2eh2fdQ, they have been removed from your roster as well, as they have no value to these teams whatsoever. These players were also removed from the database. Here is a full list of players removed from rosters. (Note, if an expansion player was not selected in the draft, he remains on your roster). Let me know if I missed anyone..... Boise Marv Staehle 1969 (Expansion) Cito Gaston 1969 (Expansion) John Gelnar 1969 (Expansion) Carroll Sembera 1969 (Expansion) East Kenosha Frank Tepedino 1969 (Use or Lose) Evanston John Sullivan (Use or Lose) Jerry Zimmerman (Use or Lose) Al Weis (Use or Lose) Fairfax Galen Cisco 1969 (Expansion) Paul Schaal (Use or Lose) Ted Davidson (Use or Lose) Frankfort Dick Radatz 1969 (Expansion) NY Mets Jack Baldschun (Expansion) Bob Meyer (Expansion) Chris Zachary (Use or Lose) Tony Pierce (Use or Lose) Portland Howie Reed 1969 (Expansion) Hawk Taylor 1969 (Expansion) Route 66 Mike Marshall 1969 (Expansion) Ron Willis (Use or Lose) South River John Kennedy 1969 (Expansion) Skip Lookwood 1969 (Expansion) Thud Ridge George Spriggs 1969 (Use or lose) Tippacanoe Mike Hegan 1969 (Expansion and Use or lose) Gus Gil 1969 (Expansion and Use or lose) Tommy Dean 1969 (Expansion and Use or lose) Mike de la Hoz 1969 (Use or Lose) Frank Coggins (Use or Lose) Sandy Valdespino (Use or Lose) Winter Harbor Phil Gagliano (Use or lose) Rich Morales (Use or lose) WW Monarchs Johnny Podres 1969 (Expansion) Gary Geiger 1969 (Use or lose) Allan Lewis (Use or lose) Bob Lee (Use or lose) Norm Siebern (Use or lose) Phase 1 Draft Notes: There are a total of (135) players in the Phase 1 draft, so we won’t quite go a full 8 rounds, but we will get into the 8th about midway. So all players will be selected. If you are not able to attend, please have your lists (For both Phase 1 and 2) to me by no later than Wednesday Oct 26 at 9pm EST. If you are not in the chatroom and I do not have a list from you, draft central will make your teams selection through round 3, after that will be computer picks. The Draft is ready to go on the database and all traded picks should be accounted for (I double checked). If you see something that needs correction, please let me know. Phase 2 Draft Notes: There were (2) teams that used the 10-5 rule to protect players that have played 10 or more seasons in SPB, and the last 5 with their current team, those were (These players must have been bonus players OR considered part time as state in the constitution): Thud Ridge Wild Weasels (Terry Baxter) – 3B Clete Boyer West Warwick Monarchs (Steve Brunner) – 1B Harmon Killebrew Each of these teams will lose a Phase 2 selection in place of the additional protected players. This is reflected with voided picks on the attached files. We WILL also be conducting the Phase 2 Draft in the Chatroom. The FULL List of Phase 2 eligible players is attached to this email along with the database. **IMPORTANT** IF YOU WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THE DRAFT CHATROOM OR YOU PLAN ON LEAVING THE DRAFT EARLY, YOU MUST SEND ME A LIST FOR YOUR PHASE 2 DRAFT PICKS before leaving. NO EXCEPTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT SEND A LIST AND YOU ARE NOT THERE, DRAFT CENTRAL WILL MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS FOR YOUR TEAM bases on your teams positional needs. This happened in the SPB-X draft and caused a delay of more than 24 hours before the next picks were made. It is not fair to the other owners when this happens. When sending your list, please include team name he is being selected from and position. That’s all for now. Thanks again and look forward to a fun draft. Hope everyone can be in the chatroom, please let me know ASAP if you can not.... Thanks, Mike See **Please note my new email address and add to your address book: ebbets1957@outlook.com
