By the way, is there a list out there detailing what rookies showed up in the year 1951, 52, 53, etc.? Thought I'd try to build them into the system a couple of years early. I tend to follow the whole league as a reporter type. Great fun. I'd like to see vintage players come up thru the system, slowly but surely. There's another advantage, too:

I don't like filling the 1944 minor league system with fictional players who are apparently on some high protein diet unavailable to other era players. What's with all the 220 pounders showing up at SS?

"Fellas, since there's a talent shortage on account of the war, I want to introduce you to Mongo. He's our new shortstop. I know he's 50 pounds heavier than da other shortstops around the league. Truth is, he's a government war experiment gone wrong. And while I'm at it, might as well introduce our new bullpen ace, Suki Yaki..... actually, I don't know why I'm even bothering to tell ya guys all this. C'mon in to my office..... Sit down. There ain't no easy way to tell you this...damnit! You're all real stand-up guys! Great hearts...but, I might as well just say it: You've all been replaced by our AAA team out of Venezuela.
