MS.. As Commissioner, please make the final call on the number of years we're going to use and run a randomizer to post up those years. This way we can use the upcoming weekend to get a jump on building our teams.

BTW, My vote for the stadium draft is to leave the round selection up to the manager as opposed to the 6th. Granted, there are pluses and minuses to that concept but with the multiple stadiums we now have to choose from, it may not be as important as it was in ATG1 or 2

Ok

We will draft parks in any round. That makes the most sense to me.

We will start with 5 years for the first season to give us as much access as possible to players initially.

For the second season we will drop 2 and add 1 bringing us to 4 years.

The 3rd season we will vote to keep it at 4, drop to 3, or bring it back to 5.

I will get a randomizer shortly to select the years.

I appreciate everyone's input and patience with me here. This is my first rodeo trying tonset up anything remotely like this.

I'll post the randomizer results as soon as I get that.

Cool! Thanks, Moscratch--I can't wait to get started. :D :D

Everyone who isn't signed up on DD, will need to do so.
Also, if your DD ID is different than your SOM handle, MoCratch will need to know that to set up DD.

You will need two randomizers. One will be five distinct numbers from 0-9, the other will be the draft order (1-12 with no duplicates).

OK, I'm back.

I'll be requesting the two separate randomizers (thanks for the help rburgh) on the ATG board.

1. 5 distinct numbers from 0-9, corresponding to the last digit in the year.

2. 1-12 for the draft order using the signup roster

I'm going over to DD now to try to figure out how to set up the draft. I'll be back here with any questions.

[Edit- Motherscratcher beat me to the punch in figuring out the draft order]

Looks like most of the big names are eligible for the first year-- notable exclusions include Arky Vaughan, Lou Gehrig, Hugh Duffy, Frank Thomas, Duke Snider, A-Rod, Joe Morgan, Sandy Koufax. And Dale Murray...

Also of note-- the five ending seasons (0,2, 6, 8, 9) directly match the five possibilities for Mark McGwire.
