SOM Through the Years League - Chat Thread - 2008 draft time

[geekor]

k, I tried this before, but only ever filled half way. Maybe it will conjure up more interest this time around.

We will play multiple seasons, starting at least at 02 (I will take a vote on how far back we start, ie if ppl want to start at 02 or 01, [color=red:772bc0c624]02 won![/color:772bc0c624]) and ending with 07 (or 08 if a good chunk want to continue afterwards). [color=red:772bc0c624]Each season will start at the halfway point of the current seasons (halfway thru 03 we stat 04)[/color:772bc0c624], but with the 1/2 still going on, it's never been cheaper.

[color=blue:772bc0c624]There will be an 11 round draft for 10 players and 1 stadium. So yes you will be using the same stadium the entire time[/color:772bc0c624]. Of the 10 players you draft, you MUST have them on your team at all times IF they have a card. So if you draft Bonds, he must always be on your card, except obviously the year he had no card. It doesn't matter if you don't want to use the 17 mil version, you HAVE to. You can trade a keeper card for another, 1 year or permanent, but you must get back a keeper as well (in other words no trading a keeper for a good non keeper as a 1 year rental).

All the rest are autodrafted every year.

All leagues will be 80 mil, DH, 20% cap hit, advanced if allowable, weghted waivers where allowable. Divisions will always be W:1,4,7,10 C:2,5,8,11 E:3,6,9,12 so get to know your neighbors :P

Damn! Who to pick? This is crazy man!!

[FoggyOne]

I picked Bonds. I have a few years to worry about competing without a first round draft pick.

[visick]

This is gonna be the toughest draft ever.

There are a few ways to go here, some logical others just bloody mad.
:lol:

[geekor]

This will be tough....

Especially in the later round when you are just trying to get someone with 3 decent years instead of all 5!

[toshiro]

Alright. That should be enough to hose me for years to come.

[geekor]

I really really didn't expect Damon!

Well I'll keep quiet until everyone else is done picking, I'm glad I got whom I targeted as my #1. Having a leadoff/#2 hitter for every year is huge to how I like to play.
