My Dad told me how when he was about 11 years old he was excited because he was going to an Indians game where he thought the great Bob Feller was going to be pitching. Only to arrive and find out it was a young Bob Lemon. :)

Pitcher Dave Ferriss

Because Dave, or "Boo" as he was sometimes called, had become the first pitcher to win at least 20 games in his first two years since Wes Ferrell of the midway through the 1947 season, he was just 12-11 that year and would win only 7 more games the following season. He made one final trip out of the bullpen in 1950.

His once promising career was over before his 30th birthday at 65-30 and a 3.64 ERA. "Boo" would try it in the minors, spending the next 4 years (1950-1953) with the Birmingham Barons and the Louisville Colonels. Ferris decided he was done after an outing in 1953 and ended his minor league days with a 31-26 record and a 3.96 ERA.

When a players contract expires can you redraft them them in the following draft. (i.e. Feller is on a 5 year contract. If I were to want to could I redraft him in Season 6?)

It's just like the wis basketball progressive CAP League that we are in...

IV – PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
CONTRACT EXPIRES – When a player exhausts their 5 season CONTRACT, he is eligible to be drafted.
STAGGERED REENTRY: To break the cycle of ‘boom or bust’ draft classes, a players eligibility to be redrafted is based on his draft order. Players drafted in odd numbered slots (1,3,5,17th…) can return in odd# years (ex: 1993, 1995, 1997…) after becoming a FREE AGENT. Players drafted in even numbered draft positions (#2, 4, 6…22nd…) can return in EVEN# years (1982, 2012, 2014, 2016…) after graduation.
EXAMPLE #1: John Doe is drafted in the SEASON TWO draft – Doe is picked with SIXTH pick of 2nd round. He plays season 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. He was selected with an EVEN numbered draft pick – he can return EVEN number season: ELIGIBLE season EIGHT. He would sit out season SEVEN.
EXAMPLE #2 Jimmy Smith is picked with 11th pick of round three in season SIX. He plays seasons 6,7,8,9, and 10. He is eligible to return season ELEVEN (because selected w/ ODD# pick).
(this can EASILY be determined and tracked in Player Selected List)
