To add a voice to those recommending Scoresheet Baseball... I have had a
continuing league American League franchise for four years with Scoresheet
Baseball in Berkeley, CA.  The people at Scoresheet are very good about
sending introductory brochures.  They are available for the asking at
(510) 526-3954.  The prices are comparable in US dollars (about $80 for
the season and $5 for complete lineup changes).  The company has been
very good about making sure they keep the customer happy (prompt delivery
of results, no book-keeping errors, etc...) and I have been very satisfied
that the simulated results correspond to the actual results modified by
my strategies.  If anyone would like more information on my opinion,
they can e-mail at the address below.

Secondly, in light of my upcoming decision about who to keep on my team,
my version of Scoresheet is limited to 13 players being kept with only
two transfers to the other league allowed.

I have some tough choices ahead and would like to hear some opinions (e-mail
is fine).  The guidlines you should use are to choose the "player you believe
to be most valuable" in 1993 (and beyond for continuing league purposes).

The question I pose is who would you keep from the following:  (Players
such as Dave Johnson, Mike Huff have been intentionally ommitted :-))

Jack Morris
Greg Swindell
Dave Stewart
Randy Johnson
Allan Mills
Jeff Russel
Brian Harper
Mark McGwire
Lou Whitaker
Greg Gagne
Edgar Martinez
Kevin Mitchell
Brady Anderson
Jay Buhner
Rob Deer

Thanks for any consideration.  Again, if you have any questions about
Scoresheet, drop me a line.

Dennis
