DBLE FRANCHISE DBLE DECADE 80 - West loading

[BC Manager]

I will have to gather the above owners in the Conclave. When you see black smoke rising from the chimney, you will know we have picked a new owner.

Seriously though, tkk, I will have to wait to hear from the others I've contacted about being the replacement, first. I'll try to post again, later this evening, regarding where we stand in terms of the available team.

[BC Manager]

The following owners are eligible to finish in the bottom 4 and earn a top 4 pick:

Jsam - CA - 891
BigA - DE -747
Sykes - NJ - 415

Sphillip - CT
UglyJerry - MI - 809

We will use Friday night's Pick 3 results. Owners can change their states up until 6 PM, EDT on Friday. Order will be from LOW pick 3 result to HIGH. Only the teams finishing in the bottom 4 will be eligible for a top 4 pick.

[BC Manager]

Why, several hours after California's posted its Pick 3 results, are there no results for Conneticut? Are we gonna have to wait until morning?

WITH THE 11TH PICK???
I got Al Woods though. Oh, and K Schrom....
I've got 8 position players, 2 bench players and 3 SP, 1S/R and 2 relievers.
But I do get 1 of the 4 worst teams left on the boards..... :D :D :D

Really kinda looking forward to winning 40 games.

[b:0f87fe2050]tkk has been offered wryoung's spot, assuming he confirms soon. He will need to declare which team he's keeping, once he reviews the rules.[/b:0f87fe2050]

I'm now thinking the lack of available players may affect several teams. I propose we go ahead with the suggestion that all .75 players not eligible for 1980 become available as free agents. Does anyone object or have another suggestion to solve this problem?

Still trying to get my bearings on the rules but if I understand them correctly my decision is a no-brainer. I'll keep the '80 Cards and drop the team that was so bad that it later starred in "Major League."
