Who can't start?
Last expansion the Otters lost 4 players in the first 5 rounds of expansion draft. Our team was destroyed. We had 10 players to protect (including GMs). So if this happened again, who do we protect?
Bavitz, Osullivan, Clegane, Winchester, Boom, Wright Jr, Westfield, Phelps, Boss, Spector?
That means the guys unprotected are Burnsman, Verns (IA), Brosullivan, Shaka (IA), Kronen (IA), Petrakis (IA), Madlad (kind of IA).
I'll just go out on a limb here and say we lose Burnsman, Verns, Kronen, and Petrakis. So now we have zero running backs (Jiggly retired) and we lose 3 inactive DBs that were all in the 200-400 TPE range.
So yes, we will be starting bots or very fresh rookies. In four positions.
