Re: 80's Mystery FA Draft - Load teams!

The Expos draft Hubie Brooks , SS, from the Mets

tsk
Rosie

Vuckovich? The Cards sucked so there must not be any players worth taking from them.

The Brewers plan was to Draft Don Sutton, but he was protected so Vuch is the next obvious choice

Ok I will repick

The Expos pick Zane Smith of the Braves

Rosie please remind me how many Core 5 keepers must be on the team at all times, thanks!

How about a quick rundown on the rules for the protection list.the 2 from the Fa draft have to be on it, correct?

Yep I'll post the keeper list and auto draft rules today, recovering from a funeral and subsequent celebration yesterday.

sorry to hear that. whenever is good.

reposting rules...

OUR 2ND 80's SEASON WILL BE A 24 TEAM LEAGUE WITH MANAGERS HAVING BOTH AN AL AND NL TEAM. Schedules will be league exclusive so your teams won't play each other unless they both make the World Series.

-Every player on your roster must have at least 1 yr carded OR have played for your franchise. These are indicated on the spreadsheet as follows:

For 80's season 2, Core5/4 players cannot be auto drafted by any other franchise other then their Core5/4 franchise. All other players Core3/2/1 can be auto drafted by any listed franchise. After the auto draft any Core5 players that has another franchise listed (not carded but played for) or any Core4 or and Core3/2/1 not auto drafted can be picked up on waivers by any of the franchises listed for that player. Trades are allowed but must be between franchises listed on the spreadsheet for that player. By rule then any Core5 player that doesn't have another franchise listed is exclusively yours or if a Core4/3 player ends up being affiliated with one of the two weeded out franchises, they also are exclusively yours...and that means you don't have to auto draft them. Caveat - there needs to be at least 3 Core5 players on your autodraft list. They can be/and should be at the bottom.

Now for the keeper side of the equation, 15 per club. Your Free Agent signings need to be on your keeper list and all other keepers must've been on your final day roster. POST THESE NOW, HERE ON THIS FORUM.. Your auto draft list must contain your keepers.

There must be at least 3 Core5's on your roster.

Max roster size is 24 players. Like we did in 80s season 1, we will expand to 25 after game 130.

1) Format is DH
2) Pick the 80's Stadium of your franchise
3) Salary cap $100
4) Trades are allowed but all players involved must be carded to or have played for those franchises
5) 5% free agency cost

So next steps...
1) post keepers now, here
2) once all keepers are posted we will load teams

I'll start the league and load my Orioles in. No need to worry about loading in order just get your teams in and I'll have SOM sort out things and add our custom schedule before next Monday.

Did I miss anything? Fire me any questions
