Power Franchise League II

This is a carded franchise league with six teams. Pick either the Yankees alone or one of the following franchise combinations: 1) Giants and Indians 2) Red Sox and Orioles 3) Dodgers and Braves 4) Cubs and Tigers 5) Cardinals and Reds 6) A’s and White Sox. One franchise combination will be unselected.

NO franchises can be duplicated, nor may any be used that are not listed above. You may chose to auto draft any player that has a card for one of your franchises. If the player has ANY card for your franchise, you may choose to use ANY card the player has. Players that are only carded to unused and unselected franchises may not be drafted nor claimed on waivers but will remain in the FA pool for the entire season. NeL players cannot be drafted or claimed on waivers UNLESS they have a card for your franchise. Because you can only draft and claim players carded to your franchise, there will be a frenzy following the auto draft. If you get a player who didn't play for your franchise (s) you must drop them as soon as possible after the auto draft.

Important: EACH TEAM IS ALLOWED ONLY ONE TRADE, CONSISTING OF AS MANY PLAYERS AS THEY WISH. All players being traded away must have a card for your franchise (s).

By opening night the only players that can be on your roster are the ones that have a card for your one of your franchises, and players you traded for. Players acquired through trade are not restricted by franchise so long as both teams have the franchise rights to the players they are trading away. You must choose a ballpark that one of your franchises played in. Please label your team name with the teams you picked so others will know which franchises are available to choose from. If you have any questions please let me know.

No password.

great theme idea, always fun to take on the Yankees.....

Oh what the hey---

I am in, I will take the Giants/Indians.

spent some hours doing research, some unexpected players emerged...interesting paradigm to try to plan how to do against not only the Yankees, but the other combos....

team is ready to join in

team name is the "Giant Killers"

Questions in regards to--

"Players that are only carded to unused and unselected franchises may not be drafted nor claimed on waivers but will remain in the FA pool for the entire season"

does that mean once the season starts, you can pick up any player from the FA pool, regardless if they have a card for your franchises, or does this mean you can only FA players who have a card for your franchise?

Secondly---

is this a 999 mill league?

Thirdly--
DH or no DH?

______________________

Some major players can be drafted by multiple teams--which will make draft order critical.

here are a few that came to mind right away:

Babe Ruth---Yankees, Red Sox
Tris Speaker---Red Sox, Indians
Greg Maddux---Braves, Cubs
Pete Alexander---A's, Cardinals
Roger Hornsby--Cards and Cubs
Eddie Collins---A's, White Sox
Jimmy Foxx---A's and Red Sox
Reggie Jackson--A's, Yankees
Kirk Gibson--Tigers, Dodgers
Earl Averill--Indians, Tigers
Rudy York---Red Sox, Tigers
Magglio Ordonez--White Sox, Tigers
Manny Ramirez--Indians, Red Sox
Rocky Colavito--Tigers, Indians
Frank Robinson--Reds and Orioles
Joe Torre--Cardinals, Braves
Frankie Frisch---Giants, Cards
Luis Tiant--- Red Sox, Indians
Jack Clark---Giants, Cardinals
Shoeless Joe Jackson--A's, White Sox, Indians
Jim Thome---White Sox, Indians
Darrel Evans---Braves, Tigers
Lefty Grove---A's, Red Sox
Hoyt Whilhelm---White Sox, Orioles
dennis Eckersley-- Red Sox, A's
Phil Regan---Dodgers, Cubs
Lee Smith---Cubs, Cards

The Yankees will be very tough to beat in this league--

C---Berra, Howard platoon
1B--Gehrig
2B: Robinson Cano, or Joe Gordon, or Tony Lazzari
SS--Jeter
3B: AROD
LF--Ruth (if they get him instead of the Red Sox)
CF--A Mantle/Dimaggio Platoon----/ ouch......
RF---Reggie Jackson (if they get him instead of the A's), or Maris---platooning with Winfield?
the other option in RF is Paul O'Neill

If they don't get Ruth for LF, then maybe Rickey Henderson----if the A's don't take him first

I'm assuming there is an unlimited cap; I'll jump in and take the Red Sox/Orioles squad.
