Was the ballpark rule taken out?

I'm not really ******** this time as Warrenbob was a replacement for sdair, but I though the rule was no park more than twice in a row?

[ArrylT]

You're thinking of the first 4 seasons, where the rules were slightly different (and more complicated). With the change to a 4 1/2 team mandatory drop the rules also changed to:

9 - Ballparks are limited to the parks that your half squads played in. That still gives you an 8 park selection.

10a - Ballparks can be changed yearly
10b - Owners must use 2 of their 8 ballparks within the 4 years


So basically warrenbob, assuming he'll stick on for next season, and assuming he keeps the Pirates '27 half squad he has, will have to use a different ballpark of his 8 1/2 teams next season, but everyone will be able to use any ballpark from their 8 1/2 teams.

warrenbob (re: comments in league message board):

After every season each owner drops 4 of their 8 1/2 squads, then we hold a 4 round draft to draft the dropped & previously unused 1/2 squads (46 unused + 48 dropped). LA '65 Hitting was his 4th round selection.

The remaining hitting selections were:

BOS '03
BOS '67
CHA '55
CHN '70
DET '68
LA '77
MIN '65
NYM '86
NYY '78
OAK '73
OAK '90
PHN '15
PHN '50
SD '84
STL '64
TEX '77

If you have absolutely no use for that 1/2 squad (ie wont use even a single player) I have no objections if you switch it out for a replacement 1/2 squad of those available in Hitting. Provided of course no one else does either. I don't think many people will since you took on a team that was already fully drafted and that LA '65 Hitting pick was the last sdajr76 made before disappearing.

Season starts tonight - good luck to all!

Season VIII will begin once Season VI wraps up (so 2-3 weeks)

Can someone please tell me what the odds of Lou Gehrig going 0 for 20 are? :x :roll: :x

[ArrylT]

I have one guy on my whole team who is batting over .300 or slugging over .500 ... 1 freaking platoon guy. :x :x :x

[ArrylT]

Have yet to win a freakin' series! :x :evil: :x

At least Gehrig is now batting over Mendoza ... Maybe Delancey & Post & Doran could consider joining him. :roll: :x :roll:
