GM's OFFICE: The other side of Draft Day
Mar 23 2017
Last month, my long-time APBA league, the Transcontinental Baseball League, held it's annual draft. TBL is a 24-team dynasty league where you can keep 35 players per year. With 800+ players rostered at all times, the annual draft pool consists primarily of that season's rookies and some resurrected-from-the-dead veterans. Still, like every other league, draft day is the high holy day on the league calendar.
I joined TBL during my junior year of college, 25 years ago. A guy who lived on my hall introduced me to it. A quarter-century later, I'm barely in the top-half of the league in terms of seniority: 10 of the 24 guys in the league have been there longer than me. I've known those 10 guys longer than I've known my wife.
