1949 No Trade Team

The Foresters are off to a quick start, winning the first two games in Chicago, making it look highly likely Cleveland will win their second title. We know far too well a 2-0 lead doesn't always work out the way it should, but if the Chiefs can't start winning, we'll be in the offseason in no time!

Notable Prospects/Picks Traded
None

Another year of disappointment for both the real and fake team. If I used more then five starting pitchers, we'd probably accumulate a bit more WAR then the real team. There are plenty of good former Cougar draftee staring pitchers, but on the position player side teams tend to employ more of their own draftees. Of course, there's also potential Kellogg Award winner Joe Austin, but we had enough at bats from the guys listed already and I try to limit replacements to demotions, retirements, or injury replacements. The exception being unless we have too few or too many games to go around. Now that we aren't able to trade extra players for draft picks, major league ready guys like Johnny Peters, Jimmy Hairston, Elmer Grace, and Al Clement are all stuck. A lot of our former draftees are good enough for regular time, but there just aren't enough spots for all of them.
