Once again there aren’t many Legacy Players coming in. But, of the four that do, you’ll obviously be hearing and seeing a lot more of one. Three really solid NeLers also join the ranks.
These are the Legacy Players for the 1932 season:
Chicago Cubs: Stan Hack (55.5; 1938 – one-club player)
New York Yankees: Frankie Crosetti (24.5; 1938 – one-club player)
Pittsburgh Pirates: Arky Vaughan (78.0; 1411) MARQUEE
St. Louis Cardinals: Joe Medwick (54.5; 1216)
Bill Swift (21.2; 305) and Rip Sewell (26.9; 385) were also eligible for the Pirates, but Vaughan’s higher WAR makes him the selection.
There are 98 rookies for this season, and the Draft will consist of 5 rounds.
