[quote:9bdd67a3b0="thisisray"]1) A non-serpentine free agent draft of at least 10, and up to 15 rounds, will be held each year shortly after TSN/SOM cards are released.

all of the cards will be out so you will know who is available.[/quote:9bdd67a3b0]

Sort of, TSN does not include ALL of the carded players that Strat-o-matic makes. there are some players with limited PA's/ IP's or very unbalanced cards that will not be on the TSN site. Matt Gamel for example, is eligible in your spring draft as he had 2 AB's but will not have a card on TSN's site.

This also means that all future drafts will have to be conducted on the threads, because some of the carsd won't be on the draft site.

If you don't already I HIGHLY suggest you order the ratings book and/or disk that Strat-O-Matic puts out every January before they release the cards. It will tell you every player that is eligible for your draft next spring and help you in scouting as well.

I will be out of touch from this afternoon until late Friday or Saturday. We are going up in the Appalachian mountians to visit family and I will not have access. Hope this doesn't screw things up too much.
Jim.

In regards to the stadium draft.

If you were to take RFK, which is not a ballpark for the 2009 set, would you have to pick a new park?

if you pick RFK u will have to take the new nationals stadium next year, this will be the same for shea and any other new stadiums that are built

The draft is over guys!!! no one make anymore picks for round 41, we will be doing that offline in this chat with the stadium draft.

great job guys that went off really well...im working on puting all the data into excel and we should have that out in a day or two

I too am leaving shortly and am not likely to have computer access until Friday afternoon, so it doesn't look like I will get to pick my park until then. I will definitely be able to join the league Friday, should we be ready to do so. Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone.
