tycobb - GA
Clay (?) -

I'm not sure if AZ has one, if not assign me one-- my 2 fallback states got taken and I'm not sure what states have them.

I have a theme idea ready-- I'l give the details tonight, but there will be a short 2 round live draft.

I like the "short" draft part. :wink: Welcome Clay!

Looks like we just need trey and Msheaf to pick states.

Here's my idea-

You can only have 2 players over $6M, which we will pick in a 2 round live draft. One pitcher, one hitter-- you can pick them in any order. These players come with some strings attached, however--

Round 1- You can pick any player over $6M. You must use the park that player played in. You also must end up with at least 3 other players from that team on your final roster. You don't get any "rights" to these players, you have to get them in the autodraft. But you must have 3 of them on your final roster and under $1M guys don't count.

Round 2- You pick another $6M+ guy-- if you picked a pitcher in Round 1 you must now pick a hitter and vice versa. His salary must be less than your 1st rounder. And you must have 1 player from his team on your final roster. Again, no "rights" to this player and under $1M guys don't count.

Also-- once a player is taken no one else can take a player from that team in the 1st 2 rounds.

The rest we autodraft. $80M no DH, I'm thinking frenzy might be fun, but could go either way here.

So to give an example--

Round 1 you pick Mantle-- now, no one can take Maris. So you will play in Yankee '61 and you must have 3 '61 Yankees on your final roster (between $1-$6M) You have to autodraft those guys-- so if you want Whitey Ford you better pick him high in the autodraft.

Round 2-- Now you must pick a P-- because you picked mantle 1st. Same deal-- Over $6M, but also must be less than Mantle's salary (no problem there) and you need to have 1 player from this team on your final roster (between $1M-$6M)

The rest we autodraft-- but no players over $6M allowed.

Sound good? Let me know of any questions or something I'm missing that makes this unworkable.

Works for me Harry.

This Copycat theme league has been alot of fun. :)

[Munich_Man]

Sounds like fun. Only problem is I think I pulled a muscle in my brain thinking about it.

weird, complicated, confusing ....... I LOVE it! When do we start?

[harry lime]

It's one of those themes that sounds more complicated when you write it out than it actually is.

Hopefully we can get msheaf and trey's states today and use tonight's numbers and fire up tomorrow.

Can we tentatively assign OH to trey, so we can use tonight's lottery numbers? If he drops in he can change it obviously - just like to keep this moving. :P
