8th Annual Real Teams

[pcbaseballsims]

"Actually a couple of VETS I play with said the "sign up first get the best team" has caused them to shy away. Normally one would have a lotto state draft to choose who selects who chooses first. Just more info you can file away for next year."

Great point! Were this a 2 or 2 1/2 team theme at least the 12th man in would get TWO picks in the ol serpentine draft.

Ok so what kind of incentive can we offer with to generate interest & make it worthwhile to be the last one in?

Ok a 12 pak of your favorite beverage, a yr's subscription to TSN or USA Today Baseball Wkly...a 20 gm pak/season's pass to your favorite team...

I signed up 2nd and took the Giants. This league is about competing with your favorite team with a few rules to help improve them. It is not about getting the team with the best record last year.

As the history shows, the so called best teams do not usually win the strat version.

I'm in. I changed to $80M cap that was the problem.

Great welcome to the real [b:51d08ba28a]AL EAST[/b:51d08ba28a]--meet the "beasts" in the East: NYY, BosSox, & the Rays are loaded for bear too--what a trio at $9M ea: Bartlett, Longoria, & Zobrist!

& thats the exact order as teams loaded, entered geez hope thats not a foreshadowing of the real Final Standings.

Hey maybe the[b:51d08ba28a] Twins [/b:51d08ba28a]will have a shot at the WC. :P

[keyzick]

wow, I didn't think they set the minimum as high as $75M...thought it used to be somewhere around the $60-$65M range.

Well, just remember not to fill out your roster with another franchise's player. :shock:

Although I know you like to wheel and deal, so who knows what the end product may look like come the start of the season! :D

Hi MlbInfoCzar,

I see that you posted almost 2 hours after I created the league not sure what is going on. AF Dickie and herge have joined. I don't know how to help you out, try checking again.
