1999: Riggo’s Bragging Rights League (AL vs. NL)

Our historical single season sets

Postby KEVINEHLE » Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:42 am

I agree with the crowd. I can see us easily getting 6 to 8 wrong league players. If we drop 1 player pre-waivers, we would need to somehow trade 6 to 7 players. If no one wants to trade with you during pre-waivers, it gets pretty dicey in trying to recover.
After waivers and the dust settles, guys might be more willing to trade players around knowing they didn't get help from waivers. There should be a little more time to wheel and deal. With that said, people shouldn't be holding players hostage either.

With all that said, there really isn't a good solution for people with a bad draft. There would have to be a lot of creativity with less talented players in order to win.

So....We are missing durantjerry, RWhite411 and an open posiiton. I'm sure wily vet durantjerry will load. RWhite411 seems to be a newer person. Does anyone know him? I wonder if he is still with us? I sent him a PM reminder.

[quote:49eefaaab9="Geoff Brookes"]Riggo, could we please have until midnight on the day AFTER the waiver draft to get the AL/NL rosters organized and complete any inter-league trades?[/quote:49eefaaab9]
[color=darkred:49eefaaab9]NO! No Exceptions!!! For all violators, there will be a firing squad at dawn![/color:49eefaaab9] :twisted:

...kidding. :lol:

Good points made by several people. Yes, I understand that if you miss a pick and get an expensive replacement player from the 'wrong' league, you will want to have some time to try to work out a deal, so you get some value back.

So let's say you should have all players from your own league on your roster by [b:49eefaaab9]Midnight (Pacific Time) of day after waivers runs - that's 34 hours after waivers[/b:49eefaaab9]. ...and obviously we don't have a SWAT team waiting to swoop in for any minor infraction of rules. Basically, it's an honor system to be in compliance.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.

I've sent invites to a few people who I thought might be interested in taking that last spot. Please broadcast the league to all who might be interested. :D

Sounds good! Now if we could just find one manager...just one...I've put out some emails in my 99 leagues hoping for a bite.

If Arizona's Stadium is eligible despite the player situation, I want the BOB. If not, then I'll settle for ... Milwaukee County Stadium

Apparently steadyeddie and durantjerry will be entering soon but still nothing from RWhite411. We may still be one manager short?
