pick 3 lotto the night we fill...highest to lowest

by **genegrid** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:21 pm

OOps....what am I talking about? Draft will not need a lotto since we are starting with the lowest salary of your top 20 players. BAL will pick #12 in 1st rd.

1. Genegrid---San Francisco- $67.15
2. Sykes---NY Yankees--$63.31
3. Hak --- Detroit --$65.02
4. MTCSMiller --- Baltimore -- $76.67 (can only draft .50 FA) --
5. Novie - Oakland -- $56.2

Questions needing answered:

1. MAJOR question.... Is the draft order in reverse EVERY round? I would think that it is as flipping each round doesn't give the weaker teams much of a benefit. -----SERPENTINE

2. Why have people listed a state for lottery? ____State not nec.

3. If someone doesn't use a franchise player, are they eligible for another team to pick up? -------Players are only available to their franchise team

4. Are your rosters frozen after the draft, or can you make changes to your base team and/or FA drafted players? -----Top 20 franchise players frozen

5. Must you use your home teams park? ----YES

6. DH? --------NO

7. Time limit on FA draft picking? -------2 hours starting at 10 AM EST morning of the draft...please leave proxies if you are out

lottery for divisions.

Are we using DH?

I think dropping:

Palmer, Jim $4.59
Rettenmund, Merv $4.65
McNally, Dave $3.98
Hall, Dick $3.38
Leonhard, Dave $0.89

and picking up .50 centers is a fair solution.

Novie,

The weaker teams will still have an advantage in a serpentine draft because they have more money to spend. You have $24 mill and I have $13 to fill at least 3 spots. When I make my second choice before you get your 2nd, it is unlikely that I will have the cash to take a top player that you may want.

Sorry guys I guess I did not put enough thought into this. Divisions by Geography. I will put together all the rules on one post.

1. Genegrid---San Francisco- $67.15
2. Sykes---NY Yankees--$63.31
3. Hak --- Detroit --$65.02
4. MTCSMiller --- Baltimore -- $76.67 (can only draft .50 FA) --
5. Novie - Oakland -- $56.2

Rules:

1.Must draft and keep top 20 priced players of your franchise (BAL has choices...see previous posts)

2. $80 million cap NO DH

3. Live draft conducted at 10 AM EST the morning after we have 12 teams commited. 2 hour time limit to pick up to 8 free agents. Order will be by lowest to highest salaries of top 20 players. Draft rounds will be serpentine, 1-12, 12-1, etc

4. Must use your team's ballpark

5. Divisions will be by Geography

6. Top 20 players are frozen on your roster for the year.

7. Free Agents can only be chosen from franchises not in our league. Your franchise players are your property all year whether you have them on your active roster or not.

8. Free agents can be traded/dropped/added at will.

Gene... what about the Balt players that MT leaves off from his top 20... can they be drafted by the rest of the teams?

by **Sykes25** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:27 pm

NYY = $60.61

Regarding the Team Salary Cap. Since the Theme is Franchise wouldn't using a $100M Cap allow Baltimore to maintain its core and the only other issue would be deciding whether Free Agents would have to have a cap on how much their salary would be.

I'm not sure if I'm joining but I read the thread and I thought the above idea might be of interest.
