G-Men Challenge:Alphabet Theme 80 mil. DH/ NEW LEAGUE!

[MEAT]

Im stuck in our original league, but will enter another B-TEAM, in the new one if Larry doesn't swap me out before tonight's autodraft. maybe I'll still be alright since that's a public league, but don't know if genegrid will be up for buying another team of a's. I think y and p should be competitive enough, with possibly another narrow letter thrown in if everyone approves. as previously mentioned e/f makes a formidable combo, that only leaves a couple of teams unspoken for. I think H could be a helluva team, and possibly get a narrow lettered addition, but not totally neccessary. no one's using T as far as I know, and that;s got alot of depth. J has alot of very strong cards available, the jacksons etc., and would need another short stock letter to fill out the voids. the 12th team could just be offered all remaining unusued letters if everyone else agrees. and Im still suggesting we allow trading of letters after the autodraft or in-season if anyone else thinks so.

I am still working on coming up with a suitable letter or letter combination. As to trading, I think we should stay true to the theme and have no trading and everyone keeps to their letters. If we have to have trading then there should be a limit of one or two non-letter players allowed per roster but I would rather everyone stick to their letters personally.

[LMBombers]

OK I can make the E-F combo work. Is that allright with everybody?

I was working on R but I was having a hard time fitting Ruth's salary in and unless you want Merv Rettenmund as your CF you are going to go with a 3 fielder there.

Trading players ruins the one letter theme (or two letters for my team). Let's keep it pure! 8)

I will wait for any objections before entering the league.

[LMBombers]

I thought a recap of who is in the league and what letters are taken would be in order here:

1. A - genegrid
2. B - he's meat
3. C - gamiam
4. D - Mr. Baseball World
5. G - muttdoc
6. M - errormagnate
7. W - MoCrash
8. S - modmark47
9. E/F - LMBombers (tentatively, awaiting objections or approval)
10.
11.
12.

If this list is not correct please copy and paste it in your response after making corrections.

The Silver Surfers (the S team) have entered and completed the East. :)

And, I have no objection to the E & F combo.

[MEAT]

since I suggested E/F I certainly don't object. we may need to vote on whether to allow trading or not, but let's just fill first. still think h and r can field very competitve teams, and j could be juicy with a small qualifying letter. y/p is still out there too. it'll be interesting to see who i get in the autodraft of our original league... :oops:

[LMBombers]

1. A - genegrid
2. B - he's meat
3. C - gamiam
4. D - Mr. Baseball World
5. G - muttdoc
6. M - errormagnate
7. W - MoCrash
8. S - modmark47
9. E/F - LMBombers

OK, I am going to go with the E-F combo and enter my team into the league now. It is really hard to get all the players you want onto an $80M autodraft roster. Some players I wanted to use didn't make the final autodraft roster cut. I will post my starters in a minute after joining the league.

[LMBombers]

OK, the Extra Fine team is entered. Six teams are in, six more to go.

Besides Foxx and Ennis there is NO power on this team.

1B - Jimmie Foxx
2B - Nellie Fox
SS - Tony Fernandez
3B - Art Fletcher
C - Andy Etchebarren/Barry Foote
LF - Del Ennis/Ron Fairly
CF - Curt Flood
RF - Pete Fox/Del Ennis
DH - Joe Foy/Tim Flannery

Rotation
Whitey Ford
Sid Fernandez
Dock Ellis
Carl Erskine

RP
Don Elston
Woodie Fryman
Rollie Fingers
Jerry Fosnow

I know, I know....a pretty weak team at best. We will try our best to play Extra Fine but it will most likely be more like Extreme Funk. :)

[LMBombers]

We have 9 people signed up for a team but only 6 people have entered into the league. Based on the team names I think genegrid (A), he's meat (B) & Mr. Baseball World (D) have not entered their teams yet. Mr. BBW did say that he would do so on Monday in his post.

Lets get our teams entered. Who knows that may entice others to join our league!
