THERE WILL BE BASEBALL!
Replacement players to take the field

In an unprecedented move, baseball's commissioner has decided that there will be baseball in 1987, no matter how they get the players.

Baseball's commissioner, today, decided that the MLB will adopt an age old rule, saying that if the players strike, then the commissioner can hold a replacement draft, with players between the age of 17-25, to fill in the void left by the striking major leaguers. A notice has been sent out to high schools and colleges across America and Canada, urging the top prospects to come out to the special tryout being held on March 15.

The 3 day event will test all skills a player needs to possess to be a top-flight major league player. Scouts and GMs from all 26 major league clubs will be attendence, grading each player on a 2-8 scale, with 8 being the best. For the draft, a lottery will be held, with each team getting a fair and equal chance at the top pick. It will be a serpentine draft, as each team will need to stock their system. The draft will be held on March 19, after the 3-day tryout.
