Real Teams Plus Theme Lg, Need 1 owner
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:36 amDue to real life issues we had one owner drop out. Previous owner selected Philadelphia hitters, new owner will have the option of keeping Philly hitters or taking an undrafted team's hittters. Replacement will then choose an undrafted pitching staff. Your draft position in the four player + stadium draft will be determined by the total salary of your two team picks. Player/stadium draft order is straight, not serpentine so a top pick in this draft will be more valuable than usual.
Replacement owner will also receive either (their choice): a compensatory pick in the player draft, will be the 13th overall player pick (sandwiched between 3rd and 4th rd); or 1st choice in the stadium draft (stadiums can be selected anytime from rd 3-7, you would use your 7th for the stadium if you chose this).
Here are some other points about this situation, courtesy of Delbird:
1. Phillies hitters - not a bad group with Werth, Ruiz, Howard, etc.
2. Option to swap out Phillies hitters for another available group
3. Chance for a top pick in each round of the 4 player draft - with the ability to control how high up you pick with how you select the pitching staff
4. Availability during preseason to pick up any other undrafted free agents to round out the team - from 18 unselected teams...that's a lot of players
5. Decent pitching staffs available still - Washington with Strasburg and a strong bullpen, NY Mets with Santana, Dickey and others, even Seattle gets you Hernandez (top SP in the set) plus some serviceable SP's and a couple bullpen guys along with an even higher draft pick
Rounds 3-7 of the draft will be on Stratdraft, Stratdraft will be free for the new owner for this draft.
