Well the dearth of Legacy activity over the war years is quickly compensated for here with eight coming through including our first since Bob Elliott in ’39.
These are the Legacy Players for the 1946 season:
Boston Red Sox: Ellis Kinder (28.9; 365)
Brooklyn Dodgers: Carl Furillo (34.6; 1806 – one-club player)
Chicago White Sox: Sherm Lollar (30.1; 1358)
Cleveland Indians: Dale Mitchell (19.6; 1108 – conceded)
New York Giants: Bobby Thomson (33.8; 1135)
New York Yankees: Yogi Berra (59.4; 2116 – one-club player (conceded))
Philadelphia Phillies: Del Ennis (30.1; 1630)
Pittsburgh Pirates: Ralph Kiner (48.1; 1095)

With no selection agency until pick 25, we fully expect this Draft to be a stockpiling mission mainly of young arms, followed by AAA filler.
Here are our new additions:
1. OF Ralph Kiner, 23
- Thus why Jethroe became trade fodder. Big bat, little glove but a great add for us.
2. P Russ Meyer, 22
3. P Monte Kennedy, 23
Two who project to be handy enough types a few years hence.
4. P Walter Wilson, 31
5. P Harry Taylor, 26
6. C Bob Brady, 23
7. IF Cecil Garriott, 29
Pretty much played out as we expected.
