Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

This will be the 43rd 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.

We will be using a different players pool this season. All eligible players will be from the 1967 season to present.

The subset that Falcon created is called ATG9-EXP (1967+)V12 ( this is the player subset we will be using)

Also you can use any ballpark from 1967 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)

We have a new entry to the league, unctarheel, so please help him out with any rule clarifications etc.

Because we are using a new set this season, 1967 to present and we have been playing with 1946 for so long, I thought it would be a good idea to list some of the often used players from the past who are no longer eligible in this new set. Hopefully it will help out some managers who have not had time to research etc.
So here is a list, (not all inclusive) of players who will not be available this season

REDSOX----Frank Sullivan, Radatz, Doerr, T Williams, Pesky, Mantilla

Dodgers--Koufax, Drysdale, Campanella, Hodges, J Robinson, Snider, T Davis

Indians--Wynn, Lemon, Score, Rosen, Boudreau, Doby, Mossi

Cardinals--Breechen, Schoendist, Musial, Schultz

Tigers-- Newhouser ,Cash, Cullenbine, Colovito,

Yankees-- Mantle, Dimaggio, Berra, E Howard, Ford, Maris

Whitesox--Wilhelm, Locker, Horlen, Lollar, N Foxx, Minoso

Giants--Mays, Haller, Cepeda, Stanky, Mize

Braves-- Spahn, E Mathews, Odell

Twins--Pascual, Allison

Pirates--Kiner

Reds---Abernathy, Henry

Phillies, Semenick, Burgess

Cubs---Ellsworth, Banks, Pafko

Orioles --Haddix, Gentile, Stu Miller


One other note; Frank Robinson now has only one eligible card and that is with Baltimore 1970

Also, for the benefit of unctarheel I am reposting the rules of the league; listed below






There are currently 30 franchises to pick from; each manager picks 2 franchises via the draft and builds his team from these two franchises. A manager has exclusive rights to players on his 2 franchises. If a player has a card with 2 different teams, the team with his highest salaried card retains his rights

Using Roger Clemens as an example; here are some different scenarios;

------- If both Toronto and Boston get chosen in the draft; Toronto would own his rights because they have the highest salaried card for Clemens. Toronto could use either one of Clemens' cards either the Toronto or Boston card.

-------If Toronto and Boston are both chosen, but Toronto does not have Clemens on their opening day roster, Boston could now pick up Clemens off the waiver wire once the first game is played. Boston could also use either of his cards.

------If Toronto does not get picked and Boston does, Clemens now defaults to Boston, and once again they can use either of his cards.

------Lastly, if both teams get picked and during preseason discussions the manager of Toronto informs Bostons' manager he has no intention of using Clemens, then Boston can pick him off the waiver wire without waiting for the first game to be played ( sort of a gentlemans agreement).


____________________________________________________________________________________________________

TRADES

Each manager is allowed to make one trade during the season. However, any player you are trading must be on your 24 man roster in order to make the trade. So, if you agree to a trade while the team draft is still underway; you must wait till the league is created, make sure the player you are trading is on your roster and then make the transaction.
This will allow everyone to follow trades easier and also to prevent managers from making controversial trades by throwing in player" rights" to conduct a trade.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

FREE AGENTS

Each team will be allowed one free agent on their roster. The free agent however, must come from one of the 6 teams not chosen in the draft. Additionally this free agent must not have cards with multiple teams.

Using the Angels as an example;

-------if the Angels are not chosen in the draft, players such as Mike Trout and Ken Tatum would be eligible FAs because their only cards are with the Angels. Players such as Bobby Grich and Rod Carew, would not be eligible because they have cards with Baltimore and Minnesota respectfully.

-------to draft a FA, simply place him on your draft wish list, that way we all have an equal chance of landing a coveted player ( it would make sense to rank him first to better your chances). If you do not get the player you were seeking, and you do not like the player that was given to you by Strat; you can simply cut the undesired player and pick up another.

------lastly, you can only put a claim in for one free agent at a time, you cannot not put several players on your roster to increase your odds on landing a coveted FA.

We are good to go and start the draft..............please use the cut/paste method if you can
