Armchair General Managers -- Season 16 -- Chat

[doc x]

Okay guys, check in at your earliest convenience. Please post your keepers (up to $35 million) and indicate whether or not you plan on keeping your current stadium.

You can also do any trade talking that you want before you post keepers, etc. It will be interesting which players remain keepers and who become free agents.

The draft order is as follows:

1. Coach P
2. Bullmcintosh
3. Stlouisnathan
4. Beasts
5. Chemosh
6. Bobby
7. JMHite
8. JoeOC
9. Minnie Minoso
10. dr. x
11. JW
12. McBain

Bobby and Chemosh finished the season with the same record. However, Bobby won the head to head, so Chemosh is listed #5 and Bobby #6. Minnie and Joe were also tied and tied in the head to head. So placement was decided by the differential between RS/RA. Minnie was +9 and Joe was -10. Thus, Joe is listed #8 and Minnie #9. Me and Bob were tied but he won the head to head, so I am #10 and he is #11.

I invited JMHite to take PJMB's team for one season and he has graciously agreed to do so.

Here is how the 6 round draft will play out:

Draft will begin on Monday June 26. We've got to get this done in two to three days so that we can begin loading the league. I want to get the league loaded by Friday, June 30, at the latest. A lot of you are going to be gone for the 4th of July holiday and July is a tough month for most of us anyway.

Rounds 1 and 2 worst to first.

Rounds 3-6 serpentine worst to first (the order in rounds 4 and 6 would be first to worst).

This gives a bit of an advantage to teams that didn't do as well in the previous season. But it doesn't severely penalize a team that has done well in the season.

I don't want to use a clock on the draft. Please do whatever you can to keep things moving, however (i.e. proxies, skips, phone calls, etc.). With only six rounds we ought to be able to knock this out in a day or two.
