PICK A FRANCHISE- RD4, franky35 has picked, MFL536 IS UP

[Risden]

[quote:d10d0e8c2f="KnightErrant"]I am planning on leaving Gary Gentry available for rounds 3 & 4 because I won't need him as a starter and I want to preserve the $6 million he would cost to pick up position players the Mets/Dodgers are weak at. So, if one of the other teams want Gentry he can draft him and I lose rights to him.

My understanding is, simply,
1) I protect [b:d10d0e8c2f]15-20[/b:d10d0e8c2f] players from the Mets and [b:d10d0e8c2f]EXACTLY 5[/b:d10d0e8c2f] (no more/no less) from the Dodgers
2) if I don't protect a player he is available to everyone for drafting in rounds 3 & 4 [i:d10d0e8c2f](so, if I don't include Bill Singer among my 5 protected Dodgers, someone else is sure to grab him)[/i:d10d0e8c2f]
3) the 25 players we protect and draft make up the Draft List for the game and, hence, [b:d10d0e8c2f]must be[/b:d10d0e8c2f] 10 pitchers and 15 position players and [b:d10d0e8c2f]cannot exceed[/b:d10d0e8c2f] $100,000,000.

Anyhow, that is my understanding.

P.S. I'm not giving away any secret plans writing about Gentry. Anyone looking at my two teams would realize that Gentry is a waste of money. And, I'm going to protect Singer, so don't hold out hope. :P[/quote:d10d0e8c2f]

I concur with KnightErrant's logic and example. It's always best to use real-life examples so that we can all follow along.

It's my understanding that we will PM Risden our protected PLAYERS. IS THIS CORRECT ?

[franky35]

OK, just to be clear so we are all playing by the same rules. Each owner must draft the 25 players they protect. Correct?

So, we must protect 10 pitchers (including 5 that can relieve and 5 that can start), and 15 hitters (including at least 2 that can catch).
And these 25 players must fit under the 100 mil cap.

That was a suggestion I made, don't intend to set "policy" without group concurrence....

No one has disagreed that I know of, though.

Tom is done once he finds a park; "genegrid" on deck.

And with the 1st pick in the 2007 N-F-L draft the SD Chargers select ... Brady Quinn, QB, Notre dame. The Denver Bronocs are on the clock...

:lol:

[franky35]

Stick with 100 mil. I don't think we should change the rules now.

Tom just took Williamsport for his park. :)

[MFL536]

I sent my protected list to Risen rules understood looking forward to starting

[tomwistar]

Okay ... Comiskey. Interesting challenge trying to tailor a team to a park with these slim pickins. I'd probably do better at Williamsport!

IF anybody is interested in Kirkpatrick, I'll listen to offers. Nice LH bat in a power park. Tichinski or Rosebor also potentially available.

If we PM em in then we don't know what free agents are readily available & must scan a lengthy list.

If Bob Risden is to post em here fine better than sending a file ... don't have Excel.

"genegrid" you're up pal.

:o
