70s Teams League -- WE'RE FULL. AUTODRAFT TONIGHT!

[Hakmusic]

Sean, if you want to trade down, let me know.

and blah to Yountfan, Boston is who I wanted to trade up to get.

[BC Manager]

I was thinking of trading up for LA, if they hadn't gone 1st overall.

Great pick.

Being a life long Sox fan, it pained :( me to not pick them. You have a starting OF, SS, C for a whole decade...ultimately I chose the Dodgers because of pitching depth and long term players at all positions (Garvey, Lopes, Cey, Yeager and Pedro Guerrero). I have lat pick in round #2 and I am assuming that there will be little left.

JS, I think this is a one season league only, not a team season thing. I wanted the Dodgers because of all the pitching (which makes nice trade bait), but I took the Bo'Sox because of solid player, some nice pitching and to tick off Sean. You can rank the reasons :)

[BC Manager]

It is just a 'one-off' league, not a decade league.

[quote="BC Manager"][quote="Hakmusic"]BC, two concerns...


Hak, I'm going to cross my fingers that no one drafts so poorly as to be stuck with both Chicago teams, as much of a novelty as that might be. I think teams are going to be able to field at least 13 eligible hitters. Does anyone have a different take?

Part of the fun and challenge of this is to find teams that complement each other. There are enough "core" teams like the Red Sox and Dodgers which supply enough position players to field a decent team-it might not be all stars at every positon, but that is part of what makes this an interesting idea.

I think everyone is cognizant of the need to pick two teams which are appropriate for this concept-let's bank on that and address any quirky situations if they pop up.

YF, you ranked the reasons right. Boston in the 70's had a great nucleus that just didn't get broken up. Good luck with it. I like the core of players I have to build with in Montreal -- Carter, Dawson, Raines, Parrish, Wallach, Valentine, Cromartie, Rogers, Sanderson, Gullickson and Lea .. not a bad start .. good luck men

But Carter and Raines....If the Brewers had some pitching...

>>>>As for your other quesiton, I think you have a point. So, here's what I propose:

If a team has hitters on their roster that they have no rights to but are eligible for another team, these hitters must be dropped prior to the waiver draft (You can't drop pitcher's prior to the waiver draft, due to roster requirements).

If you have more than two hitters on your team that you have no rights to, after the waiver draft, you must drop the two with the highest salaries<<<<

BC, let me make sure I read this correctly. If I end up with 5 guys that I have no rights to in the AD, I need to do as follows. First, figure out the ones that other teams have rights to.

If I have a player that another team has sole rights to, I may trade him for nothing, I.e. a throwawy, to correct the situation.

If I have players that no one has rights to, they go on the bottom of my list of players to drop.

Lets say I have no one that one other manager has solo rights to, and two players that are not eligable for this league, then I need to look at the other three and drop two of them. I need to drop the two highest salaried guys as my pre-waivers drop, and then the third as a during waivers drop, and the ineligable guys just have to be gone by opening day.

Is that correct??
