Just a suggestion but maybe to keep the ID of the team atleast 15-18
players should make up the core of the team.

Maybe 5 pitchers & 10 position players.

The reason I am making All Players available after waivers is to encourage managers not to leave their franchise players available to other managers...So I believe we are all in agreement that we want to make our teams as filled with franchise players as possible...I hope to have many more than 10 Orioles on my roster for the season...What I am trying to avoid is managers picking up great free agents and leaving their great franchise players in the pool (stock piling)...I really do not think that any of these concerns will come to light because I believe everyone wants to use the players from their franchises...

Doug, I appreciate the suggestion, but many of the managers joined early on knowing that the minimum was 10...I would be concerned that these managers would want to switch teams if I changed it to 15 now...As for Baltimore, it would not make a difference for me...but I would prefer not to change it...

Now lets get 3 more managers so we can draft tonight!

How does everyone feel about using their actual ballpark for the selected team? Is this a major issue?

You can use any stadium you want...

only three to go to draft tonight and start MONDAY ;)

I wasn't too enthusiastic about Merm's application of my comment, but upon further review, I agree with the plan. Since no one (I hope and assume) will be drafting any players from one of the other 11 franchises, this means that we won't have to deal with too many pre-waiver drops of "franchise" players (since we are limited in drops), and it will be impossible to lose any "franchise" players you select in a drop-down situation.

I'm glad to CATom has joined the league, but this ruins my plan of drafting Reggie and Bonds Sr. one/two in the autodraft part! :evil:
