Wait I thought everyone had the same R5 pool, minus their own players?

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
Only thing I can figure is that there are more than 500 players eligible for Rule V and somehow some of them don't get populated for some people.

I was confused at the comment that davewillie left multiple useful players exposed because I only saw one.

In that case, I guess the pool of 500 is selected before ranking instead of the entire eligible pool being ranked, otherwise everyone would have Forbes listed.

That's pretty dumb, Forbes owns. If I had a legit shot to get him but didn't see him I'd quit HBD.

On a cursory pass, I have Cordero, Ramirez and Toombs for HoF. Who should fill out the ballot?

Paul Donovan wins the head-to-head comparison with Damaso Lee for "which old-rear end rental 3B did better for me before I called up Nate Floyd" so he's cool in my book.
