Mort Memorial LIVE League(s)-> Dec 7 ** see ATG7 LIVE league

Not sure where this league stands. I have to pull out. My mom's not doing well. Still in the hospital.

Sorry about your mom. That's getting to be a long time in the hospital. Not a good sign. Hope she gets better soon.

also sorry to hear that TRW-
I might have to pull out as well- Ive got work...

Since ATG7 came out, and we like to include the new cards, I have been considering
how to do this with DD even though the new cards are not on DD.


What I came up with is this: pair the new** high end cards with a lower priced card
that is not likely to be taken in a LIVE draft. If you take paired card from ATG6, you
get the right to new ATG7 card. Its a work around, and it will allow us to do a LIVE
draft.

** For new cards which already have different years in the ATG6 set, just choosing
one of the other years of the existing cards is sufficient.

It looks like we are going to lose 2 managers, so I might just start a new thread
once I have that pairings:

1. Same settings, except start and hour earlier so we can Frenzy
2. A list of ATG7-ATG6 draft pairs
3. A reserved spot for everyone that is on this list

And we won't do an ATG6 LIVE draft,... just the ATG7. Is that as clear as mud? It will
take me a couple of hours to set up the pairings. Then look for a new thread.

Okay, according to my guestimation, there is less than 40 hitters in the cards that will be of interest
to a $200 mill LIVE draft. And most of them already have cards, so an alternative ATG6 card can be drafted.

8 cards that have no ATG6 card (and the paired card I am recommending to take owneship) are:

For: Jason Giambi (ATG7 only) draft Kirk Gibson
For: Andrew Jones draft Fielder Jones
For: Moises Alou draft Matty Alou
For: Darrin Erstad draft Sammmy Esposito
For: Jake Stanzel draft Casey Stengel
For: Ed Morgan draft Ray Morgan
For: Hanley Ramerez draft Dominigo Ramerez
For: Bill Sweeney draft Ed Sweeney

The other new ATG7 cards that may be interesting to draft at $200 mill, but have
an alternative ATG7 card:

Nap Lajoie
Al Simmons
Arky Vaughan
Mike Schmidt
Harry Heilmann
Derek Jeter
Ted Williams
Pete Reiser
Ernie Banks
Babe Hermann
Jim Gentile
Eddie Matthews
Bill Dickey
Gil Hodges
Woody English
Frank Schulte
Fred Lindstrom
Bobby Murcer
Frankie Frisch
Bill Dahlen
Andy Pafko
Darren Daulton
Clyde Milan
Joe Torre
Sherm Lollar
Earl S. Smith (Earl Smith on some cards)
Boog Powell
Wally Schang

And I could only identify about 10 pitchers that might be interesting to a $200 mill league,
maybe its just me, but the <$8 mill starters probably don't make the cut.

Here are the ATG7 only cards and a card pair:

For: George Bradley draft Joe Barbender
For: Hideo Nomo draft Gary Nolan
For: Eric Gagne draft Frank Gabler
For: Mike Jackson draft Larry Jackson
For: Willard Schmidt draft Johnny Schmitz

And here the most likely to be interesting cards that already have an ATG6 alternative:

Tim Keefe
Pud Galvin
Trevor Hoffman
Phil Regan
Billy Wagner
Gene Garber
Jeff Reardon

As much as I would loved to stayin this league, my Dad is having open heart surgery on Tuesday and this is looking to be a very busy weekend for me. I don't know how my schedule is going to run but I don't want to hold you guys up either! Sorry for bowing out fellas! -Simon31

We are (or I am) going to close/cancel this league because of the new card set.

There is a new league (ATG7) in a separate therad.

If you have signed up for this league, you have a spot reserved in that league.

Please check in to say if you will or will not participate in the new league if you haven't
already.
