Kurt, I think someone is playing a practical joke on you.  These teams
have every non-prospect/over-the-hill player I can think of!  Good

What you get depends on how many other teams there are in this league.
If it's something like 6-8 teams per league, you might be OK.  If it's
more like 12 per league, see above.
