ATG IV 16 event Franchise League

Marge,

I know, I realized that might be a problem after I initially mentioned the five man rotation idea. I'm going to go through the non * pitchers and see what the break down is. I haven't had a chance to yet since I've been been breaking down the season two pennant race. Those Phils are still in it... and they win all of their possible tie breakers. 8-)

Marge is definitely correct. The Giants don't have enough non-SP*s to fill a five-man roster. I, for one, will have to reconsider my proposal. There just aren't enough non-SP*s to go around, let alone mine for depth.

My suggestion for season 10.

Autodraft
100mil/DH/waivers

Any player that played for your franchise (carded or not) is eligible for your roster. The twist is that we use the post WW2 + expansion player set only...

100 Mil DH
Frenzy

Half your roster are lefthanded and half are righthanded and/or 4R,4L and 1S in starting lineup. If we do the half roster then switch hitters can count as either R or L for your quota. If you want a 25 man roster, a switch hitter has to be the odd man.

Any player who ever played for the franchise.
Stadium must be from your franchise.

I think this would make some intereseting choices in pitching, starting lineup and bench players. I also think it would be interesting to see how the even number of righty-lefty players works out with the franchise ballparks. I think all franchises would have enough righty and lefty players available but getting the necessary lefties on the roster would make for some difficult choices for some positions.

We could have an autodraft but I would like to have a 2 or 4 round draft. 1 or 2 righty rounds and 1 or 2 lefty rounds.

* $80 million roster restricted to players carded to your team.

* 5/10/20 waivers.

* Frenzy, since no one else will have access to your players.

* A ballpark from either deadball or pre-WWII.

* 5-man pitching rotation, at least two of which are left-handed, valued at no more than $20 million total.

* A starting catcher with no better than a 2 fielding rating and 0 arm, with a backup valued at no more than $1.25 and the best fielding/arm ratings you can find.

* A starting middle infielder with no better than a 2 fielder rating.

* A starting corner infielder with a no better than a 3 fielder rating.

waiting for FAaron to fill the East.

I'll have my team in by tomorrow afternoon. I've been bogged down with work since I got back from vacation, but will have some free time tomorrow morning to set up my team. Thanks for your patience.

While you have all of that "free time", you could also be thinking of a theme for Event 6, and rosenthm can come up with waivers and cap rules.

[FAaron]

I'm loaded in the East. I'll give an idea to League 6 as well.
