American & National League 2 Team Combo 2nd League

[memphisjohn]

1-c
2-b
3-either
4-straight full roster from 2 teams with trades and minors

[Sneezedoc]

I think that one team from each league should be done..don't understand the "pre-pairing" of teams...obviously whomever gets the first pick of the AL (probably the Orioles) will get the Padres with it..what's the big deal about "pre-pairing"???
100 million
NO DH
ABSOLUTELY TRADES to move around players...

Based on the thread to this point I'm recommending the following:

1) Manager picks 1 team from both the AL & NL
2) 100M budget with roster of $80M.
3) No DH
4) Free trades among managers

We still need 2 managers.

I am opting out of this league as I have too many other leagues going (including the original of this theme!). I am sorry guys. :( Good luck with the league.

[the splinter]

is not my favorite option in this theme. Kinda taints the idea. But if the majoity decides to do so I'd like to see a limit of 1 maybe 2 trades.

[rschwartz51]

I would go along with the Splinter on limiting trades.

I need some help in filling the league. There are 3 openings. There were 1 or 2 managers who said they were interested but were unavailable last week and a couple of managers in the league already that would be unavailable thru Tuesday. Wednesday was the best day for the draft to begin and so I hoped we could have the league filled by Tuesday.


I have my brother coming in by train from Wyoming for a couple of days in order to handle som important estate business so I wont be around on the computer as much as would be needed to run the league.

I like the trading concept. To keep the intregrity of the dual team combo intact-we could set minimum roster floors on franchise players. for example a 20 player minmum. This would allow a manager 4-8 non-franchised players on the roster.

[FAaron]

Agree with the trading concept as well. To make it clear about trades, we should require an announcement to the entire league of trades involving non-roster "prospects" to make it clear who has options to which players.

By the way, I'm a little confused about "Manager picks 1 team from both the AL & NL" -- I take this to mean we have to have one AL and one NL team to draft out our roster. Is this a correct interpretation?

Yes.

As a matter of fact I'm going to say that if we can't play the theme straight(AL/NL, no trades) then I'm not interested. By the time you merge 2 teams and make trades you might as well have had a draft league.

[Sneezedoc]

I don't know why we can't live with a 20 player minimum from the 2 franchises we "draft".....this would be like another league I was in (where you had ONE team as yours and the rest a draft of Free agents of teams not chosen)
