I've been playing in a great Strat-O-Matic league for about ten years, and I'm going to host a Futures Game this year. I don't post here much, but I read the fan posts quite a bit, and I was hoping some of you might want to help me pick the rosters. Each team has seven players (before trades) that have never seen MLB time. I'm going to draw the Futures Game rosters from these players, and would like to have at least one player from each team, if possible.
I've pasted the rosters below. If you're interested, respond with your suggested AL and NL rosters, recognizing that I'll actually be playing this game, so I need to have at least two guys at every position. I'm thinking of rosters of 25 or 27 guys, if it works out.
I know many of these guys are in MLB right now, but they're still eligible for this game. Feel free to use whatever criteria you want when making your selections.
Any questions? (Remember, one AL roster and one NL roster.)
Oh, if you're curious, I'm the Metropolis Avengers, and you can see our full league website here Brassball.
Thanks a bunch for the help. I'll be sure to report back with the results after I play the game...
