Wil Cordero Theme League - All Welcome
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 6:55 pmWil Cordero Theme League Rules:
1. This will be a normal Autodraft
2. $60M/advanced/DH/weighted waivers/10% drop penalty
Now for the fun! This will be a pitching league. If you love hitting, this probably isn't going to be where you want to be!
1. Nobody can own any Hitter over $5.00M. The penalty for an Hitter over $5.00M will be benching your highest salaried starting pitcher for 3 series (9 games) for every day said hitter remains on your roster.
2. Everyone will play in 1 of 4 stadiums, with no duplicate stadium within a Division. When you sign-up you place yourself in a Division and list your park. These are the 4 stadiums to be used:
Jacobs
Dolphins (Florida NL)
Petco
Tropicana
4. Other than all your hitters being equal to or less than $5.00M, everyone else can play.
5. How you fill out your draft card will be crucial. Some things I can think of are:
a. Do you try and pick the best hitters equal to or under 5.00 Mil
b. Do you try and get the best relievers
c. Do you go for the ace starters
This will be fun to say the least, especially those who love Pitching.
Now, the name of this league is the Wil Cordero Theme League. Here's why:
Personal problems aside, Wil Cordero has the worst offensive card in modern history, with ZERO on base chances on his card, an E rating for steals, and D ratings for bunt and Hit and Run. He is at least a 4e10 at 1B, which is better than most DH candidates. So he gets the honor of naming rights.
---Here's what everyone must do to comply with the theme:
* Everyone, all 12 Owners must choose a pick 3 state and the HIGHEST number will be the "winner" and has to keep Cordero the entire year, never dropping him.
* The owner who gets him must keep him in the starting lineup for the entire season. He can DH or play 1B - your choice.
* The owner who gets him as a reward gets to claim any player not drafted after the AD and before waivers. IOW, that owner essentially has a free #1 waiver pick (followed by normal waivers), as no owners may put a claim on the player the Cordero owner declares. In addition, the Cordero owner will be able to use anybody in the set, including hitters over $5.00M So Cordero actually becomes a reward for the Manager who gets him.
Sound Like Fun? Join up below...everyone is welcomed to join. Active Managers please.
** I am open to changing it to $80M cap. I figured $60M would spread the better pitchers around a bit more than $80M. Please vote on $60M or $80M cap and choose a pick 3 state when you sign up **
