Since the 1986 season will be free for a limited time, I thought I would start a theme league. The league is similar to one I am in playing right now (and getting killed) for the 2007 season.

Note: litangel originally came up with the idea, I am just stealing it.

The rules are: 200 mil, DH. We have a 2 round serpentine draft of real baseball teams. Draft order set by state lottery numbers. You must use the stadium of one of the two teams you draft. Team name must have some relationship to the two teams you draft.

All players from your two teams are your property, and can not be chosen or picked up by anybody else, (you can think of players not on your 25 man roster as your minor leagues.) If you drop a player during the season from your roster, other teams may pick him up for a period of 3 days. if he is not picked up, then he becomes your exclusive property again. You can trade players from your roster and players from your farm team. Once you trade for a player you have the same rights to him that his original team did. Trades can be unbalanced (3 for 2 for example) but all trades must be within 2.5 mil in total salary.

At the end of the draft the divisions are chosen by team salary, highest in the West, middle in the central, lowest in the east. I will post a list of the salaries of the different teams when they are available.

25 man limit on teams, unless there is an injury of 3 games or more, then you can call up a sub for the duration of the injury (however, beware, this means you will have to drop him, and other managers will have a chance to pick him up.)

BigLeo and Fleegle need to pick different lotto states as MI was already taken.
