Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

We have an opening for new manager in our 60's keeper league. This is the only 60's keeper league that I am aware of. The league is located at this link:

http://365.strat-o-matic.com/league/428422

The team that is opening is:

Cleveland Indians

You would inherit 3 players from the team. You can also select a new ballpark if you don't want the current ballpark, however it must be a ballpark not currently used in the league. After everyone names their 3 keepers, there will be a supplemental draft for a 4th keeper. League rules posted below.

There's a great bunch of managers in this league so expect good competition. If you are interested, simply post which team you would like to take over. First come first served.

60’s Keeper Rules:
Each manager will protect three players to carry over for next season. The manager selects any three players from his final roster. As soon as each manager announces his protected players, a 1-round supplemental draft is conducted. Any non-protected player is eligible to be selected in the supplemental draft. (Rules for determining the order will be posted separately.) The draft is started during the playoffs; however, it won’t be completed until the season is over since the draft order is affected by playoff results. (Playoff teams have picks 9-12.)

I am asking for a 4-season commitment. I won’t hold anyone to that. If you need to drop for personal reasons or for any reason, you are free to leave. However, I want each manager to plan for playing for four seasons.

Note: Your four drafted players should be placed last on your auto-draft card.

$80 million
DH = no

waivers = yes

These rules covers what happens at the end of each season.


Eastern Division will be made up of the four playoff teams.
Central Division gets the teams with the next four best records.

The supplemental draft is ranked differently-- Reverse order of win-loss records for the first eight places. Playoff teams automatically draft 9-12 as follows:
9. first-round loser with worst regular season record
10. first-round loser with best regular season record
11. finals loser
12. league champions

All ties resolved based on regular season (tie break "winner" picks last):
1. head-to-head
2. run differential
3. coin flip

Just to clarify: In the supplemental draft, the first eight picks are made by non-playoff teams.

STADIUMS: Non-playoff teams may pick a new, unique stadium with their pick. If they do, can still pick a player, but their player gets picked after all other teams pick theirs.

Playoff teams may not change stadiums... UNLESS… they forfeit their supplemental draft pick. In other words, a playoff team may elect to change stadiums or pick a player with their pick. A new stadium must still be unique.
Managers may trade stadiums between seasons.
Clarification: A manager must use his own supplemental pick to select a stadium.

You can trade your supplemental draft pick for a keeper. However, trades involving supplemental draft pick(s) have to be even so when all is said and done, both managers have four protected players for the autodraft.
Examples:
my supplemental draft pick for Keeper Z (one of your keepers)
my supplemental draft pick and Keeper A for your supplemental draft pick and Keeper Z
my supplemental draft pick and Keeper A for Keepers Y and Z

A trade involving a supplemental draft pick cannot involve an unprotected player. (A protected player is a keeper or a player already selected in the supplemental draft.)
There are no restrictions trading keepers after the autodraft has been held and the league formed. For the integrity of this league's format, every team shall enter the autodraft every season with exactly four protected players.*

*Exception: If a playoff team picks a stadium with their supplemental draft pick, they shall enter the autodraft with only three protected players.

New managers joining the league do not have to keep the stadium of the team they are taking over. They can pick a new UNIQUE stadium right from the get-go.

I would like to take the Cruisers & rejoin the league, if that is okay.
