Things are running smooth here and the American League Draft has been completed. I want to thank cvantuyl for his program DMB Photo Tool 2.0 and bbastyr for his stadium pictures (both can be found on this site under 3rd party tools, utilities and add ons. These guys saved me a ton of time and I really appreciate it.
Anyway the draft is finished and I used the DMB Auto draft. Like I said I am playing the Minnesota Twins so I will give a capsule review of the Twins here and the rest of the league later. I will not go through the draft do ruin it for anyone else who wants to play 1966 AL.
As you know all 1966 AL players were released from their teams and drafted into the 10 team league. There was a lot of bickering about where the draft should be held and of course NY, and LA could not agree. It was then thought we should move to a neutral team site but Chicago insisted it should be held there. In the end the draft was held (in all places) Western South Dakota.
Anyway the Minnesota Twins fans were ecstatic over the results as they got to keep 2 of their favorites in Tony Oliva and Harmon Killebrew plus the exiting young Cesar Tovar and the veteran catcher Earl Battey. The Twins should hits a lot of homeruns with their lineup and hopefully get adequate fielding

Infield 3B/1B Harmon Killebrew SS/3B Rico Petrocelli 2B/SS/OF Cesar Tovar 1B/3B George Scott with 2B Bernie Allen in reserve
Catchers Earl Battey and Tom Satriano
The starting pitchers are Mel Stottlemyre, Tommy John, Joe Horlen and Jim Palmer. Hopefully they can hold up in a 4 man rotation as my spot starters are Howie Reed, Whitey Ford and Juan Pizzaro. My goal is to hold these 3 guys to 10 starts or so.

I will post the rest of the teams later.
