1919 Season Underway!

Quick post here. I haven't had a ton of time to play over the past month or so, though I've been back to playing in the last few days.  The game thinks the Red Sox and Reds are the pennant favorites, but we'll see if we can do something about that. :) 

Oscar Charleston is starting the season on the IL, as is Babe Adams. I think the team is stronger this year than last year, though the minor leagues complicate matters a bit--Bill Terry isn't a left-handed pinch-hitter sitting on the bench and making spot starts, he's in Toronto. I've got a few people on the Yankees that I'd just as soon jettison or move down, but who can turn down minor league assignments. I'm still sorting out how much I care. 

The minor leagues are also pushing me to do a couple of things that weren't on my radar. While we had a reserve list, I only needed 1-2 people who could play a given position on that list and I had dozens of pitchers in case someone panned out. Moving to minor league teams means that we need 3-4 (or 5?) players at any position because New Orleans needs to have someone at 3rd base and a backup catcher, and so does Toronto.
