90s League/DH/$60M/10% Drop Penalty

For those who want to play 90s with players not often used in traditional 90s Leagues.

There are two limiting factors:

1. $60M Salary Cap

2. Your team must be composed of players who, when compiled together give you a CARDED representative from each of the 30 current MLB franchises. This condition will be in effect for the ENTIRE SEASON.

For Example:

Nomar Garciaparra can represent BOS and BOS only, as that is the only team that his Years are carded for. Quinton McCracken represents TB/COL/ARZ simultaneously and he will fill your slots for said teams.

Thus, you do NOT need 30 players, instead you need the 30 teams to be represented among the years CARDED by your players…McCracken is therefore, a more valuable player than he otherwise would be, since he represents 3 of the more obscure teams.

Keep in mind that the Angels will be shown as CAL/ANA/LAA, so you may use any of those players that show as CAL/ANA/LAA to satisfy the Angels. The team with the least number of representatives is TB, therefore each manger must have and be limited to ONE and ONLY ONE of the following 13 TB representatives:

Alvarez, W/Hernandez, R/Lopez, A/Rekar, B/Canseco, J/Martinez, D/Sorrento, P/McCracken, Q/Kelly, M/
Martin, A/Stocker, K/Gomez, C/Flaherty, J/

DO NOT attempt to create your draft card with a representative from each team…you may draft as you normally would for a 60M…just ensure that you have one rep from each team by OPENING DAY. Use the preseason to tweak your roster to accommodate the league rules.

After the rosters are formed…we will all provide a list of players which represent all of the 30 franchises via the league chat for transparency purposes. Any subsequent roster moves during the season will need to be submitted with an updated status report with appropriate changes to the multi-franchise report, again for transparency purposes.

Any questions, feel free to post them on the League Thread in the Mystery Discussion Forum. Good luck and Happy Hunting!

After a week of being posted, we've got another contestant. Thanks to bjmul for joining. I know that many may be turned away by the labor-intensive roster creation, but for those who are interested, I will keep the league up for quite a while. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait when this league does get up and running.

As a tip, if you download the 90s excel spreadsheet and use the sorting feature, it will make the player lookup process (by teams) very easy compared to the way Strat arranges their player sort feature. Come and give it a try if you have the inclination to learn something new.

Awesome news, we have 3 managers now enrolled…again, we'll be patiently waiting for the requisite 12 and then we'll be off to the races.

Keep in mind, you can fill out your draft card as you normally would for a 60Mil…use the Pre-Season to tweak your roster so that it represents all 30 MLB franchises by opening day. This is where the excel spreadsheet sort/filter function pays huge dividends. May the force be with you!

Thanks to GREGORYSELLGREN and his famed Las Vegas Red Stockings for joining up. That puts us at 4 total…8 spots remain if you'd like to give this concept a whirl. One third of the way there…looking for a few more. Enjoy!

I will get a team in.

Awesome news Spider…with that, we are just shy of the halfway mark. Thanks to all who have patiently waited, I am looking forward to giving this a go. If you've toyed with the idea of joining, then please go ahead and join. Please keep in mind that the 30 team requirement is in effect from opening day onward…no need to attempt to draft a team with the intentions of representing all 30 teams. Instead, utilize the pre-season to get your team into compliance. Also, don't forget that the excel spreadsheet with sort and filter functions will be your best friend for finding players for full representation.

Many thanks to 23pirate44…we are now officially past the halfway point and are awaiting 5 more entrants…we may potentially have this league up and running within the next week. Awesome!

One spot remains and this bad boy will be up and running!

OK guys, count me in.
