There was some discussion of staggering the number of free agents a team drafted on Saturdays: three FAs for the 4 bottom dwelling teams, two for the mid-level teams, and only one for the top four. Currently (neededing a majority of members to pass this proposal), we would need five VOTES:

1 - Arkinals
2 - Modmark - "Sounds like a logical plan"
3 - franks1313 - "...does sound good."

As a newcomer to this theme, I have a couple of questions. I was looking for the old thread but couldn't find it so I apologize if the answers are there and I didn't see them.

What is the cap? DH? and Will the FA be available from all teams? For instance if I don't choose Hubbell as one of my two added players from the other Giants teams, will he be available to anyone on the first free agent Sat?

$200m NoDH FRENZY

If you don't take him as one of your two Franchise Players, he's available to everyone as a free agent.
