Reelin' in the Years League

[MEAT]

okay manlee, now that we confirm leashed, go ahead and unleash the number one overall pick so I can take the other guy...the suspense is killing me. was hoping to get beneath you to have the honor myself, but your team was too truely awful for even MINE to catch! and I went into the season thinking playoff contender!

[ggrover15]

1. Unleashed or regular. If unleashed, which unleashed players are allowed in? Which season does this start?

manleeman - Leashed
he's meat leashed
CATom- unleashed, EVERY CARD
JMP1 -unleased. Keep it simple. All cards starting with 2012.
herge - unleashed
lumberco - Leashed
tcochran - unleashed, all unleashed cards are available, starting with 2012 set.
joekendall - unleashed with AB and IP limits. 2012 set.
killermarc
padrenurgle - unleashed, all unleashed cards are available, starting with 2012 set.
ggrover15 - leashed
jflatour99- unleashed, all cards avail. 2012 set.

2. Prospect draft or not. If so, how many players, how is the draft order determined, and when must they be promoted or released?

manleeman - 5 prospect draft,10 max,keep 4 years based on record,non-serpentine draft now
he's meat padres proposal
CATom - NO prospect draft
JMP1 - Yes. 4 players per team - who have never received a card. Draft order based on previous card set's record (2 seasons to balance unbalanced divisions). Prospects can be kept until they receive a card. 10 Prospects max.
herge - no
lumberco - 5 prospect draft,10 max, None serpentine
tcochran - Yes. 4 players per team - who have never received a card. Draft order based on previous card set's record (1 or 2 seasons). Prospects can be kept until they receive a card. 10 Prospects max.
joekendall - Yes. 4 players per team. Draft order based on previous season's record. Prospects can be kept indefinitely. 10 Prospects max.
killermarc
padrenurgle - Yes. 3 players per team. I think it's VERY IMPORTANT to limit the number of prospects we can keep, otherwise the annual free agent draft will suck. There will never be any exciting new players in the standard draft if we have 120 minor leaguers locked up. Very few per team, 3 or 4. Draft order random and snaking. Minor league players may be kept forever or until carded for the first time. Established players who don't get carded one year are not eligible as "prospects."
ggrover15 -3
jflatour99- Yes. Same as Padrenurgle's

3. Do we continue to pare down from 40 to 30 prior to the FA draft, or some other number?

manleeman - 30 keepers as You guys won,t buy 5
he's meat 30
CATom - 40
JMP1 - 30
herge - 30
lumberco - 30 keepers
tcochran - keep it the same. 30.
joekendall - 30
killermarc
padrenurgle - keep it the same. 30.
ggrover15 - 30
jflatour99- keep 30

4. Do changes start in 2012 season cards or 2011 season cards?

manleeman- start in 2011
he's meat 2012
CATom - start '12
JMP1 - Prospect draft starts after annual draft for 2011 card set; other changes take effect with 2012 set.
herge - 2012
lumberco - start in 2011
tcochran - Prospect draft starts after annual draft for 2011 card set; other changes take effect with 2012 set
joekendall - 2012
killermarc
padrenurgle - Changes take place after 2011 RITY season is played
ggrover15 - 2012
jflatour99- 2012

5. Shall we play 1 or 2 seasons with each card set? If 2, should there be a 3-round supplemental draft between seasons? Also, if 2, should next FA draft sequence be based on combined 2-season records?

manleeman - two season I a a glutton for punishment
he's meat two, combined for draft
CATom - 2 seasons / NO FA dratf
JMP1 - Let's play 2! Yes to supp draft.
herge - 1 season
lumberco Two and Combined
tcochran - 1 season; but if 2, then yes to supp draft and yes to using combined records
joekendall
killermarc
padrenurgle - I'd say 1 season but am willing to play 2, BUT I think only the first one should "count" for league records etc.
ggrover15 - 2 combined records( start second one after first one ends)
jflatour99- open to 2 seasons , combined records

6. Misc housekeeping:

a. Start draft for 2012 card set on June 1?
b. No clock in 1st round of drafts from 2012 card set forward?
c. Fill rosters to 40 players during FA draft?
d. Break ties based on head-to-head records of recent seasons, going back one card set at a time (instead of previous "cumulative" rule)

manleeman
he's meat june 1, 24 hour clock first, 30, recent
CATom - May 1, 3 hr clock, 40. YES.
JMP1 - June 1; 24 hour clock in 1st rd.; 40; abstain.
herge - A-sooner, B-clock, C-40, D-head to head
lumberco June 1 No Clock in 1st, 40 Recent
tcochran - June 1, no clock, 40, recent seasons
joekendall
killermarc
padrenurgle - June 1 is fine, no clock for new drafts as long as all managers have posted on the thread within a week of the draft, rosters should be 40, I don't care how ties are broken
ggrover15 - june 1, 24 hour clock first, 30, recent
jflatour99- June 1, no clock, 40, recent seasons

[willmurr24]

meat give me a hint,it may be why I am always at the bottom but I don't see an automatic one and two,are they meat or vegatable,fish or fowl hitters or pitchers

[willmurr24]

Giancarlo stantoni midfielder Inter Milan is the first pick

[willmurr24]

mike stanton of miami

[MEAT]

WOW...it wasn't him! although there's a 3rd alternate who might help me get in the playoffs this season, but doesn't have the long term upside of my other two, or stanton for that matter. so you spared me nothing! now im still in angst...pitcher...hitter. need, long term, short term. aiiiieee!!!
well, at least I get ONE of them considering the hell I went through to pick this high....
