Dual Franchise League season 12

This is the twelfth season of the dual franchise league. This League is using the ATG POST WWII CARD SET. Salary cap is 145 million, 5% DROP; Using a DH, no waivers.

Each manager must pick one team from each column below. . For the most part , teams on the left are original franchises and most teams on the right are expansion teams. ( THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS HOWEVER, AND SOME TEAMS ARE COMBINED BECAUSE OF LACK OF PLAYERS.) A manager has exclusive rights to players on his roster; if a player is on more than one roster, he belongs to the team where his salary is highest. HOWEVER FOR THIS THE TWELFTH SEASON, THERE WILL BE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE AND THEY ARE EXPLAINED FURTHER IN THE NEXT POST. We are using a serpentine draft, so each manager picks one team first and then we reverse the order. You can make your first pick from either column. List of teams will be posted below. Please sign up using the cut and paste method. Official draft order will follow in an additional post.

LOOKING BACK AT THE FIRST 11 SEASONS THERE HAVE BEEN 3 DOMINATING FRANCHISES WHO ARE USUALLY IN THE PLAYOFFS VYING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP; THEY ARE THE GIANTS, DODGERS AND CARDINALS. I THUS THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE THINGS UP FOR THIS UPCOMING SEASON AND TRY TO EVEN THINGS OUT A BIT; I ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE FUN JUST TO DO SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT WITHOUT RUINING THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE LEAGUE.

SO HERE ARE THE CHANGES AND FOR THE MOST PART THEY ONLY EFFECT PLAYERS WITH MULTIPLE CARDS. THERE ARE 16 PLAYERS LISTED BELOW AND THEY WILL NOW BE THE PROPERTY OF A DIFFERENT FRANCHISE THAN PREVIOUSLY. SO AS IN PAST YEARS WHEN A PLAYER HAS CARDS WITH 2 DIFFERENT FRANCHISES THE TEAM WITH THE HIGHEST SALARIED CARD HAS HIS EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS ( AT LEAST UNTIL OPENING DAY). THIS RULE WILL CONTINUE HOWEVER THERE WILL BE 16 EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE AND THEY ARE LISTED AS FOLLOWS. PLAYERS NAME ON LEFT FOLLOWED BY WHICH FRANCHISE WILL HAVE HIS RIGHTS.

1) BARRY BONDS ------------PIRATES

2) MARK MCGWIRE----------ATHLETICS

3)REGGIE JACKSON--------YANKEES

4) MIKE PIAZZA-------------METS

5) ROBBIE ALOMAR---------TORONTO

6) PAUL ONEIL--------------REDS

7) ANDY VAN SLYKE------CARDS

8 )OMAR VIZQUEL-------------GIANTS

9) ROBIN VENTURA------WHITESOX

10) DARRELL EVANS------TIGERS

11) RICO CARTY-----------INDIANS

12) GOOSE GOSSAGE-------PADRES

13) ZACK GREINKE---------ROYALS

14) BOBBY MURCER----CUBS

15) EDDIE MURRAY-------DODGERS

16) BERNIE CARBO---------CARDS


I BELIEVE THAT 12 OF THE 16 PLAYERS ACTUALLY HAVE CARDS FOR 2 DIFFERENT FRANCHISES AND THE OTHER 4 PLAYERS; PIAZZA, CARBO, MURRAY AND MURCER PLAYED AT SOME POINT IN THEIR CAREERS FOR THE THE TEAM FOR WHICH I ASSIGNED THEM. MOST OF THE TEAMS THAT LOST A PLAYER THEN GAINED A PLAYER. I REALIZE BONDS IS VIRTUALLY IRREPLACEABLE, BUT THE GIANTS ARE STILL LOADED WITH TALENT. ADDITIONALLY MR OCTOBER WILL GET TO PLAY WITH THE YANKEES AGAIN, THE BASH BROTHERS WILL BE REUNITED, GREINKE GOES BACK TO KC, AND THE DODGERS ARE STILL RICH WITH STARTING PITCHING. PIAZZA WILL MAKE THE METS A CHOICE FRANCHISE SOME OF THE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN SELDOM USED IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY WERE BURIED BEHIND AN ELITE PLAYER PREVIOUSLY.

THE FRANCHISES AND IN SOME CASES COMBINED FRANCHISES WILL BE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS SEASON WHICH I WILL POST BELOW.

Here is a list of teams for the upcoming league.

POST -----------------EXPANSION

Dodgers-----------Angels

YANKEES---------Mets

Red Sox------------Expos

Giants --------------Royals

Cubs----------------Astros

Orioles------------Mariners

Pirates-----------Toronto

Phillies-----------Padres

Tigers------------Rockies/Marlins

Indians----------Texas

Cardinals--------White Sox

Braves-----------Twins/Senators

Reds-----------Athletics

-------------------Brewers

------------------Dbacks/Nationals/Tampa

**********important note**********
There are no teams listed in the search menu for Tampa or Nationals: There are 2 players on Tampa who may be roster worthy: Zorbrist and David Price. In Order to find these players you need to search the FA roster by name.
Secondly there are also 2 players on the Nationals that will be roster worthy: Bryce Harper and Alfonse Soriano. These 2 players are showing on the Montreal roster, however they will be the property of anyone who picks the Nationals in the draft ( the Expos already have an abundance of talent for an expansion franchise). If the Nationals either don't get picked or don't use these 2 players then the Expos may pick them up per league rules.
