Player Lists Explanation

We have listed pretty much every player that had at least 200 plate appearances, or 75 innings pitched, in the 4 years (1973-1976.) Players that were traded from league to league are listed in the league for which they had the most playing time during those 4 years. All of the players on this AL list WILL stay in Scoresheet Baseball American Leagues for all 12 weeks of the winter season - you do get to use a player's stats for the appropriate year even if he was playing in the NL that year. You can ONLY draft players who are listed on these lists - any player not on this AL player list is not eligible in this year's winter game.

We've tried to list each player at the position he played the most games at during the 4 years, OR at the position he qualifies at where we feel most owners would want to play him (when taking into account how other players at that position hit, and that players' fielding abilities at that position). For drafting purposes a player is considered only at the position he is listed under. However, once the season begins, you can play a player either at the position he was listed under, or at any position he qualifies at, without any fielding penalty.

Under a single position, players are sorted by the number of major league plate appearances (or innings pitched) they had in the 4 years combined. Read through the entire list. It is NOT meant to be an ordering of how good we consider a player to be. A good player may have been hurt , or even not played, in a couple of the years, and not have many total at-bats, so he will be near the end of the list at his position. You will have to decide whether it is better to go for a guy who was consistent for all 4 years, or to go for a guy who had one huge year.
