And this being a historical, random debut league, I was excited to see who was going to be in the draft pool.
And the draft pool is announced with 5 all-time greats:
Mickey Mantle
Zach Wheat
Roger Clemens
Bob Feller
and Clayton Kershaw.
Excellent - this time my GM and Owner are sure to give me a superstar, probably a pitcher because we soooooo desperately need pitching. Oh how great it would be to see Kershaw in a Dodgers uni...or Feller, oh yes...hey, I would even *settle* for Clemens - and ask him to avoid any ointments, shots, or pills...
And with the number 1 pick in the 1983 draft, the Dodgers take....
Tillie Shafer - an infielder with 909 real life plate appearances...
*sigh*
Now granted, he is scouted as 4.5 Potential, but...
I will be over in the corner repeating: they are only numbers, the game doesn't know who these people are...they are only numbers, the game doesn't know...

I think my laptop would have flown across the room! Be interesting to see how each player turns out in your universe maybe Tillie Shafer turns into a perrenial all-star and Mantle turns into a Tillie Shafer.
