RULES
the specifics are this: DH and 5/10/20 drop. We each draft two whole teams from the 2008 set, and then draft a 1/2 team (either pitchers or hitters) The draft is serpentine for the first two rounds with the draft position determined by 3 pick lotto, 9pm PCT on the day the league fills. (low drafts first). The third round will have an unusual sequence, honoring the fact that the early draft choices in the first round were an advantage, but having one's picks together also is. (3rd round sequence is 9, 10, 8, 11, 7, 12, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) You may choose the park of either of your first two teams drafted, or of your 3rd team IF you chose pitchers.
You can add and drop freely from your 2 1/2 teams onto your roster (200 mil league) with a 25-man roster limit, until game 132, when you can expand to 28. No one can pick up players from your teams.
Trading IS allowed (even encouraged). Uneven deals are allowed (3 for 2 for example) and you can include players you own not on your active roster. All trades must be within 3.5 million of even. No trades until the team draft is totally finished.
Divisions are determined by total team salaries, Take the 12 highest players on your first two teams salaries, and the top 6 on your half team, and the four highest salary teams will be in a division, and the four lowest salary teams will be in a division.

You can start drafting as soon as I post the lottery results, I would love to have a fairly quick draft, once we get going if you think you may not be around when your pick comes up, I encourage you to leave proxy lists with me or others who check the board frequently. Another strategy is to give your e-mail to the person who drafts before you, and have tem e-mail you when their turns come up. Remember, please no trading or trade feelers until entire draft is finished. All trades must be published and confirmed by both parties on this thread to be official.

TEAM SALARIES
Note that often the 12 highest salaries for a team are not the 6 highest pitvhers and the 6 highest hitters, which means the team totals are more than Hitters + Pitchers. There was a lot of adding involved in getting the team salaries, feel free to check my math, but once we start the 2nd round the current numbers will stay. So folks who are trying to be strategic about what division they end up in, can count on the slalry numbers they see.
Please list the salary of the teams you pick on the draft list.
