Looking for 5 players to join a private league. The theme is pretty cool!
Fairly competitive and we are looking for serious players only willing to follow the rules. Thanks and here it is!
Draft your ATGII team as usual with DH 80M and waivers!
By opening day you must meet this criteria!
Your roster must be reduced to $70M or less by opening day!
You must have at least 1 of the following in your lineup
A 3-4M hitter
A 4-5M hitter
A 5-6M hitter
A 5-6M pitcher

ONLY 1 6-7M hitter

These 5 players must be in your lineup for opening day. The first 4 you may have more than 1 the 6-7M hitter you may have 1 only.

The theme is a Trade or Drop theme.

At the 21 game mark you must trade or drop your 3-4M hitter. Trading is an advantage as you lose no money. If you can't trade you must drop the player. Either way you will now receive back 2M of your salary cap. So you can be at a max 72M.

We do the same at the 42 game mark Trade or Drop your 4-5M hitter and receive 2M more back now at 74M

Game 63 the 5-6M hitter and you can be at 76M and so on
Game 84 5-6M pitcher
Game 105 6-7M hitter!

The point is you could trade at all 5 levels and at the 105 game mark you would have an extra 10 million dollars to pick up a high priced free agent for the stretch run. OR maybe you use the 2M at each mark to slightly improve your team. It's a chance to be a real GM and wheel and deal!
I will explain in detail at each stage what is going on so if you are up for a real challenge come join the GM Dream Theme League

Any interest?

We may want to start thinking about alternatives to get this moving. Possibly make it a theme where you draft full teams or half teams. then there would be no need to worry about how our draft cards might put us at a disadvantage. we would drop add to only have our players after the autodraft runs. This is a worst case scenario suggestion. Or perhaps Bernie coul zap our teams, restore the credits and we proceed with alterations or in ATG III? Just thinking "out loud".

I see we are down to two spots left.

We're down to one. :)
