we are currently in Round 13 and i have spent $71.3. I have 4 more players to pick.

1. Can I use the entire $80 million?
2. Can i make trades?
3. If so, can they be 2 for 1 or trade Clemens for his 14th,15th,16th pick (which he can pick for me)
4. If i can't use $80 mil do i have to leave room for $.5 players?
5. if so, 24 or 25 roster


on a seperate note....I think this League format is by far the best. There is a lot of thinking necessary. I also think in the future it would be wise to draft the entire team.

At the end of the draft, you must have 17 players and one stadium - so you can't make any odd-numbered swaps (i.e. 2 for 1s).

You must be able to field a legitimate roster when you finish the draft, which means you can't spend more than $76 million on your 17 players, leaving $4 million for the remaining eight spots on your roster (assuming eight $500,000 scrubs).

At the end of the live draft, you must be able to field a TSN eligible team (meaning 25 players, 2 catchers, 5 starters, 1 closer, etc., all for $80 million or less).

Hmm if live draft is 18 rounds how do you field a team of 25 players at end of the live draft? :?

You select the remaining eight players for your roster during the autodraft. That's why you can't spend more than $76 million during the live draft. You've got to leave yourself at least $4 million to spend to fill out your roster.
