Resurrecting (but updating) an old, familiar and popular theme. We used to call it the "two team" theme. Each player picked from a whole TEAM in a two round draft format.

Since ATG6 breaks down things in so many different ways - go browse the player set, see the hitters starts off with Ruth belonging to the NYY-pre - if you click on the NYY pre, it shows you ALL of the players that are under this "team". You pick this TEAM - you can use any and all players from that set.

I propose this be brought back but in a 4 round serpentine draft. You pick your "set" and have exclusive rights to any and all players for the season. Since it's four rounds, you get unlimited rights to all players on all 4 of your "sets".

Stadium must be from one of your 4 sets.

$140 mil so it's more competitive than 200 Mil. Let's make it a DH league for a little more offense.

Once we get 12 people, I'd propose a neutral party to give us the random run OR we could do the state lotto pick-3 thing for a better (more honest) mixup of the draft order.

This theme was very big in it's day, I think the modernization of it could be interesting.

The one difficulty I see is that a lot of players have multiple teams on their cards. Pedro for example, is both Montreal 97 and 2 Boston teams.

Since only 1 version of a player can be on a team, I'd have to rule that you could only use a player by picking the team he is on in his BEST YEAR. To get Pedro, you would have to pick the Mont-EXP set and not his Boston years.

Make the most sense since we have 140 Mil to play with.

NeL is a set by itself too with obvious advantages and disadvantages (players low AB meaning more injury prone).

Moose, if one Manager selects the Yankees - EXP by selecting Guidry, and another manager selects SD Padres - EXP by selecting Tony Gwynn, which team gets the players that are on both rosters? In this case, Nettles, Winfield and Gossage are on both teams.. Who gets the rights to them, the manager that selected Gwynn + SD Padres or Guidry + Yankees?

If you have something in mind, please clarify. If not, we could use the higher dollar card rule.. the higher dollar card wins, in this case, nettles and Gossage go to the Yankees, Winfield goes to the Padres..

Please advise.. thanks

As stated previously - the HIGHEST PRICED card of a player determines which set he belongs to. In the case of Gossage, his $3.39 season was with NYY-Exp. - Nettles goes to NYY-Exp for his $5.90 card.

I think you understood my original idea on this problem.

I suck at these, but I'm willing to get back on the horse and ride...
