Charles Johnson - Catcher
I was hoping he’d slip to me tooDamnit

Haven’t had a prominent African American catcher in a long time.
My bad, I didn't know I was up
Sparky Lyle, RP
Closer, or mid relief? He's a closer right?
Okay, this thread is not moving.
nick. I will rule and say you can select Lyle for your bullpen unless someone who really knows this guy can overrule me. He does have a good number of saves and was a "closer" in his career, however, I read a few articles and it sounds like he would enter games in the middle innings as well. They also didn't technically have closers in those days like we know them today, so it was normal that they would pitch multiple innings to "close" games out. I think your pick should be allowed and from what I read, it was a great pick. With that said... @finallyfamous, please make a pick.
