Okay guys, check in at your earliest convenience. Please post your keepers (up to $35 million) and indicate whether or not you plan on keeping your current stadium.

You can also do any trade talking (yes, you can trade your stadium for a player or pick) that you want before you post keepers, etc. It will be interesting to see which players remain keepers and who become free agents.

Once we get things decided here, I will set up our draft(s) on the SOM site. As a reminder, here is how the 6 round draft will play out:

Draft will begin as soon as everyone gets their keepers posted and stadium intentions are declared. If you are picking a new stadium, you'll have to do it here and not on the somdraft site. Just make your stadium selection in any round you wish when it's your turn to pick a player.

Rounds 1 and 2 worst to first.

Rounds 3-6 serpentine worst to first (the order in rounds 4 and 6 would be first to worst).

There will be a 3 hour clock on the draft beginning with the first round. Please do whatever you can to keep things moving, however (i.e. proxies, skips, phone calls, etc.). With only six rounds we ought to be able to knock this out in a day or two.

The draft order is as follows:

1. Doc X
2. [new manager]
3. Howie
4. Minnie Minoso
5. DSPeters
6. JW
7. Chemosh
8. Stlouisnathan
9. JoeOC
10. Beasts
11. CB
12. Bullmcintosh

JoeOC and Beasts had the same record but Beasts won the head to head, thus giving the 9th pick to Joe.

As you can see, we need one replacement. I am going to post a note to this end on the ATG thread.

Can you post the link to the team that left.

Bellmore Owls:

Mantle (13.64)
Trammel ( 7.63)
Gehringer (7.78)
Fryman (4.36)
Heep (1.38)

Hi, I'm Howard, one of the new owners. These are my keepers and I would like to change my park from 82 County to 86 Yankee if it's available.

Here's a link to the team in search of an Armchair G.M. :shock: 8-)

Also, if you want a new stadium we'll deal with that after everyone has posted their keepers.
