Season II: Scott Elarton Theme League - Winner: Stoney
Season III - See below[/i:5468b71fb1]

[b:5468b71fb1]Homer Bailey Theme League Rules: [/b:5468b71fb1]

* This will be a normal Autodraft
* $80M/advanced/DH/weighted waivers/Progressive drop penalty

Now for the fun! This will be a hitting league. If you love "pitching", turn your head, run away and get the heck out of dodge!!

1. Nobody can own any SP over $1M. If you own a SP/RP over $1M he must be used in relief only. The penalty for an SP/RP over $1M starting will be benching your highest salaried hitter for 1 series (3 games) the next time you play that opponent. If you don't play that opponent again, then the next series. Note: This penalty doesn't apply if there's an injury forcing someone else to start.

2. [b:5468b71fb1]Important:[/b:5468b71fb1] The max number of SP's under $1M is Five. You may, however, draft more than 5 but the excess must be dropped as soon as possible.

3. 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:

Chase Field
Citizen's Bank
GAB
US Cellular

4. Other than all your starters being less than $1M, everyone else can play. SP/RP's over 1mil are ok, but obviously can be used in relief only.

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 SP's under a Mil
b. Do you try and get the best relievers
c. Do you go for the sluggers

This will be fun to say the least, especially those who love Hitting.

Now, the name of the league is the Homer Bailey Theme League. I'm sure you've been asking yourself why did he name the league that? Has Jeep lost it? The answer is no, although debatable.

[b:5468b71fb1]Here's why: [/b:5468b71fb1]

Homer Bailey is one of if not the worst pitcher in the deck. High ERA & WHIP with BP homers that will make his manager cringe. So he gets the honor of naming rights.

[b:5468b71fb1]---Here's what everyone must do to comply with the theme: [/b:5468b71fb1]

* Everyone, all 12 Owners [u:5468b71fb1]must [/u:5468b71fb1]put Bailey on their draft card at the 25th and last spot. So someone will get Bailey, won't they? Obviously yes.

* The owner who gets him [u:5468b71fb1]must [/u:5468b71fb1]keep him and use him for the entire season, never dropping him. No trading him either.

* The owner who gets him as a "reward" gets to claim [u:5468b71fb1]any [/u:5468b71fb1]player not drafted after the AD and before waivers. IOW, that owner essentially has a free #1 waiver pick, as no owners may put a claim on the player the Bailey owner declares. So Bailey actually becomes a "reward" for the Manager who gets him. In addition:: That owner doesn't have to waist a waiver spot on that declared player. They get him free of charge so to speak and will do waivers as normal. Please declare your reward player in a timely manner.

I'd like the league to start Jun 1. Let's try hard and have teams loaded by Friday 29th to make this possible, although that's not written in stone should unforeseen circumstances arise.

[color=blue:5468b71fb1]In summary:[/color:5468b71fb1]

[i:5468b71fb1]1 - One Owner will own Homer Bailey.
2 - No Owner may have more than 5 SP's 1mil and under on his roster. IOW, exactly 5 will be rostered.
3 - Any reliever can be used/rostered including SP/RP's but obviously those pitchers can't start a game.
4 - All owners MUST list Bailey in the 25th spot on their draft cards. Please do not forget this.
5 - Vets preferred. Non-vets may be alternates and are encouraged to sign-up as an alternate, because if a second league (for example) develops you're very likely to play.[/i:5468b71fb1]

Sign-Ups Below. This is a normal autodraft so no need to put down a state. And no duplicate parks within a Division.
