Pesos league chat/trade discussion

As stated earlier, I removed one -player (Chris Parmalee) from a teams roster to get it back to 40.

Queen City sends David Ortiz and Troy Patton to the struggling Reapers for their summer 1st round prospect pick (3rd round pros pick overall), Shelly Duncan, Mike Cuddyer, and Brandon Moss

Queen City to confirm

Confirmed - I'll be dropping Delmon Young to reduce my roster.

I got to say it's tough to keep on top of things as Commissioner when you're involved in an initial league draft somewhere else.

I'll update the roster sheet.

Merry Christmas and a belated Happy Hannukah everyone. And Happy Kwanzaa too.

A few days ago I promised a "new wrinkle". Well, here is my proposal which can only be approved by an 8-vote count...

This proposal involves the drafting of your team's prospects.

Everyone would draft a MLB team of their choice from a randomized draft order to begin. These teams would remain constant for two calendar years at least at which time a league member may change his team to a different team...again determined by randomized draft order. But that's getting ahead of ourselves a bit.

For now all we need to do is draft a team after the order has been randomly established (if this proposal is approved) and then pick one of that teams prospects (ex- Padres, Rangers, Mariners...etc) each calendar year

If you wish to participate in a given year of this draft there will be compensation to be paid. You will surrender your following year's fifth round Spring FA pick . In other words we hold the team prospect draft in mid-March 2013 (or earlier if you wish) and the 5th round pick you surrender (if you choose to participate in that year) will be from the 2014 SPR FA draft. While the yearly participation is optional the picking of the teams is not...provided it's approved of course.

To follow up from my initial statement on switching teams...you may do so after two calendar years (four SOM seasons)of owning a specific team. Just need to tell me of your intentions. That's down the road a bit but I wanted to give you all a way to change it up if you got dissatisfied with your chosen teams stock of available propsects. The catch is there would be a price to pay if you wanted to change your team after two years. That would be your 2nd round Supplemental draft pick of the same year you asked to switch teams. That would be surrendered.

Anyhow, if you have ANY questionms please ask here in this thread.

All other prospect rules remain the same. Nothing changes.

We may begin voting on this...I'll start it off in my next post here.

New Prospect Proposal Vote


1. fredpaiii - Yes

Can you explain what this would do differently than we have now? Would we no longer get prospects if we didn't draft a team? I believe a better explanation is needed to the intent.

All other prospect rules remain the same.

This is strictly an additional feature.

If this measure passes then everyone would be required to draft a team. Whether they choose to participate in the draft of this feature every year is up to them.

is there a way to relate the teams prospects to the field that your team will use

Personally I'd vote against this.

I'd hate to be tied to only one team.
