TRich,
Your keepers are needed in Frank M's 2005 Keeper League, rd. 3.

Also, DH or no DH?

DH, and 200mil cap because that is the only one without a minimum and the average cap's of the teams will probably be around 50mil.

Question. Will we keep our exact same teams in the finals round or what?

T. Rich,

I know in the past alot of these didn't have salary caps, however for the 1969 version I would strongly suggest a $60 mil cap league. If you take the salary of everyplayer in the 1969 set and subtract out the bottom 33 that would go undrafted, that works out to an average salary of $60.6 for 24 teams.

I would be concerned that by having a late draft pick under this format, that I might not be able to spend the same amount of cash as others if a cap was not implemented.

I am in if you decide to impose a $60 mil cap, otherwise I think with this limited player pool there is to much chance for abuse with 24 teams.

Great point Bbrool!

I'll second that motion TRich.
