Anyone ready to tackle a Franchise theme league?

[genegrid]

Rules:

1.Must draft and keep top 20 priced players of your franchise (BAL has choices...see previous posts)

2. $80 million cap NO DH

3. Live draft conducted at 10 AM EST the morning after we have 12 teams commited. 2 hour time limit to pick up to 8 free agents. Order will be by lowest to highest salaries of top 20 players. Draft rounds will be serpentine, 1-12, 12-1, etc

4. Must use your team's ballpark

5. Divisions will be by Geography

6. Top 20 players are frozen on your roster for the year.

7. Free Agents can only be chosen from franchises not in our league. Your franchise players are your property all year whether you have them on your active roster or not.

8. Free agents can be traded/dropped/added at will.

Need 3

Pirates, Cards, Braves, Reds are all potential winners with the right free agents. Senators might also be fun to put together with Epstein and Howard in the middle of the order to build around. They also have a good nucleus of pitchers.

Gene... have you made a determination about the Balt players w/i the Top 20 that won't be used being available for everyone else since Balt is getting a rules exemption?

[genegrid]

BAL players will only be available to the BAL franchise.

Need 3 and we can start free agent live draft ASAP. Clock would not start until 10 AM EST
