Real Teams

[Page2]

Hi,

I am looking to run a base team league again for the 7th year. It will be $80 mil. salary and is a DH league.

The Rules:

1. You must keep at least 20 players that played for your base team in 2008 on your roster at all times during the season (a 2 for 1 trade might change that but by game time you have to have 20 players from your base team).
2. Play in the home park of your base team.
3. You can spend up to 4 mil for a player that used to play for your base team in the Draft, Free Agent/Waivers & trading pool. (Example: I am going to play with the Yankees so if no one picks the Cubs and Alfonso Soriano is priced at $4 mil. or less I could pick him up. If he is priced over $4 mil. I can’t pick him up).
4. You can spend up to 2 mil for a player that has never played for your team in the Draft, Free Agent/Waivers & trading pool.
5. Trades work the same way if a player played for your team you can use up to 4 mil to trade for him, if he never played for your team you can only use up to 2 mil to acquire him.
6. If during the auto draft you somehow get a player that is carded with another teams’ base team you must release him asap.
7. All players carded for a base team belong to that team for the year. If someone has the A’s and there is a player that is carded to the A’s in the Free Agent list only the A’s may pick that player up. (Unless a team would like to renounce their rights to a player).
8. All players belong to the team that is listed on their card for the whole year.
9. You can only use players that played for your base team in 2008 to count towards your 20 number (ie Manny is counted as a Dodger not a Redsox).
10. You can’t have a player playing on your team that is from another base team in the league unless there has been a trade or their rights have been renounced.

Some interesting reading past real teams winners:

The actual season is listed not the Strat year

2004 Astros over Twins 5G (Redsox)
2005 Braves over Yankees 6G (Whitesox)
2006 Angels over Indians 5G (Cardinals)
2007 Phillies over Rockies 5G (Redsox)
2008 ??? over ??? (Phillies)
