OK......I am going to try and explain this free agent draft procedure one more time, and then I am going to drop the subject. Maybe I just didn't do a good job of explaining it, and thus created so much confusion.

Using HARMONK as an example since he has the first pick: once he has chosen his second team: he then puts a draft roster together, instead of having to draft 25 players from his 2 chosen franchises, he only needs to have 24 and then the 25th player is a free agent from teams not taken (or a player from the Negro Leagues). For the sake of argument let's say he puts Oscar Charleton on his draft list; there is nothing preventing NYMETS99 (or any other manager for that matter) from also putting Oscar Charleton on their draft list! ( no manager has to reveal who he is drafting).
Just like in non franchise leagues Strat will randomly decide which manager gets said player. It is no different from when 4 or 5 players all try to get Ruth , but only one manager is lucky enough to get him. So what I don't understand here is how is this an advantage for any one player??????? There are more than enough players in the NEL to suffice: we are only talking 12 more players here; if you don't get your first choice and you don't like the player you get , just like always you can waive him and pick up someone else.

As I said before a supplemental draft would just slow the process down. And although I have seen the term randomizer before, I am not sure how it even works. If you guys decide on randomizers one of you will have to run with that aspect of the draft. I will just create the league once everything is good to go.


Let's draft.....paging POWRTRIP !

Ok I get it so absolutely no one has a leg up on anyone else . Ok I see the benefit of doing it this way!!!

I still think it would be good to have a ruling on any players who happen to be carded for both a franchise and NEL - with Satchel Paige being the most notable and maybe the only such one applicable. Becasue he has an Indians card, is that card given precedence to the Indians owner rather that his NEL card being treated like a free agent that someone else can pick?

I still think it would be good to have a ruling on any players who happen to be carded for both a franchise and NEL - with Satchel Paige being the most notable and maybe the only such one applicable. Becasue he has an Indians card, is that card given precedence to the Indians owner rather that his NEL card being treated like a free agent that someone else can pick?

What's the protocol on any other player that has two or more cards from different franchises? Does the high salary card rule? I would suggest using that same logic with Paige? What's the diff?

And one other distinction on this 25th man free agent? He would be the 25th man, but there is no problem putting him first on your draft card, right?

After listening to everyone's suggestions and ideas for the upcoming season: I have decided on the following changes that I hope will keep all interested and enthused:

1) The league salary cap will be raised to 165 million.

2) Each team will be allowed to draft one player from either a franchise that has not been chosen or one from the NEL set of players. You cannot draft any players that another manger has rights to. After giving this much thought I believe the easiest way to do this is by drafting said player in the original draft along with the other players . I think a supplemental draft would create problems with time constraints especially if the league is formed late in the week.


Hope everyone is OK with the changes....let's give it a shot and if there is problems we can always make changes in the future. If anyone is strongly oppossed let me know.

Thanks

Item (2) above stated "Each team will be allowed to draft one player from either a franchise that has not been chosen or one from the NEL set of players. You cannot draft any players that another manager has rights to." Always up to this point, the manager of the Indians franchise had rights to Satchel Paige by way of his Indians card. So, as stated, this sounds like a rule that his NEL card cannot be drafted - unless we do a comparative salary judgement between franchise card and NEL card the same way we've done it for cards across multiple franchises. Just a bit different nuance with this player.

Looks like we're in a holding pattern. I messaged mr. harry c but got no response yet.

Gentlemen! Sorry to hold up the parade; just a couple of extraordinarily long days forced Strat on to the deepest back burner! I should be good from now through the draft! Thanks for the messages!
