Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

This will be the 42th season of the dual Franchise League. Salary cap will be 145 million, using a DH, 5% player drop and no waivers, same parameters as last season. Also, we will stick with the same format as this past season where there is no designation of either original or expansion teams; you may pick any 2 teams on the board.
Falcon created a subset of players just for our format; It is called Post WW2 V11 and includes only players from 1946 to present.
When creating a new team click on ATG 1901 and then there will be a drop down button; scroll down to Post WW2 V11 and pick. Also, you may use any ballpark from 1946 to present.







Okay just like last season if a franchise does not get picked then any player on those franchises that has only one card is eligible to be picked up as a free agent. Each team can have one free agent from the teams not chosen. To clarify we can have 1 free agent only

Using season 37 as an example; the Royals, Angels and Brewers were not chosen. Therefore players such as Brett, Trout and Yount among others could be chosen as a free agent. Players like Grich and Greinke would not be eligible because they have a second card with other franchises.

Once the team draft is completed I will list the teams not chosen ; if you wish to claim a player from one of these franchises simply put him on your draft roster ( I would rank said player at the top of my list to maximize my chances of getting the player) and let Strat choose who lands said player. If you dont get the player you chose in the draft you can take another player out of the free agent pool, but he must be from a team not picked. And also please only list one free agent on your roster. If for some reason you end up with two or more FAs, you must drop them immediately.

Remember only one free agent per team.....and also as in past seasons each team can make one trade( multi player trades are permitted)

0ne other note on Free agents, I think it best if we decline Bernies proposal to change some free agent status whereas several managers were opposed and I like to keep the rules as simple as possible, especially when new players join the league, so lets keep the eligible free agents the same as in the past.

Draft has started; Piloneus is up

Just clarifying for franchises... players with cards for multiple franchises goes to the team with the highest salary correct?

Griffey belongs to SEA unless they are not selected. Then the next highest salaried franchise has rights to the player?

You got it Fowldog

You got it Fowldog

And also just to clarify so there is no confusion, the player pool this year will be the normal rosters. So players like Mike Piazza will be a Dodger, and Barry Bonds will be a Giant etc. The changes we made last season are no longer in effect.



Also, there are some new cards that were released maybe a month ago. Once again , not too much to get excited about. Joey Votto does have a nice injury free card. There are some good relievers in Blake Tennien, Rheal Cormier and welcome to the league Johnny Rocker!
