Let's draft 'em all -- all 940 played!

Looks like tpierce and wilmur missed a skipped pick in the wild round. They picked after they were skipped, but not for the round in which they were skipped in.

Top league ready to load:

Let's draft 'em all :: Majors
Password: top_25

$200 mil
Unleashed
DH: Yes

I have loaded my team, to get the league started. I will withdraw it as soon as another team is loaded and then later return as the 12th team, when we are ready to start the season for this league.

That's true. They can return and fill in the "skipped" picks, whenever they wish...

When I setup the top league, I checked out the footnote for the "other" setting for league salary caps. We may pick any number we like, between $60 and 200 mil, as far as the game engine is concerned.

Even though the system will not monitor lower salary levels for us, I still believe we need to have reduced levels in the other two leagues, in order for each of the leagues to have any hope of having 12 competitive teams.

Since we will be forced to have caps of $60 mil in each of the other two leagues, that will allow for a lot of injury replacement money to be available. As far as the total salaries of the active players on each squad are concerned, how about:

Minors: Up to 26 players, at $50 mil cap
Instructional: Up to 28 players, at $25 mil cap

What do you think?

Fairly certain we can create a league with whatever cap number we wanna plug in.

I have my team entered in the majors. and my team is right at 100 mill. (if, I can squeeze what I wanna into the JV league at 50 mill)

Fairly certain we can create a league with whatever cap number we wanna plug in.

We can operate at whatever cap we want; the game engine will not manage the cap below $60 mil.

Thanks for loading your team, MG. I backed mine out for now and will load it again after the other two leagues have started.

One week apart, we will start the leagues in this order:
1. Instructional
2. Minors
3. Majors

That way, each of the higher leagues can have September call-ups after game 132 without greatly impacting the title races in the lower leagues.

K, just slapped a Minor league team together quick, and my team added up to 50.08 million.

plus, cause of my one catcher, this league too, would hafta be using the unleashed set too.

Interesting. Unless I shuffle some better players to the minors, my top teams will be:
Majors at $107.5
Minors at $39.0

As to catchers, we all drafted 6 of them in the catchers' draft -- and yes, all leagues will be using the unleashed set.

In order to encourage managers to emulate the MLB style of player assignment, I wonder if we should have some kind of championship point system? How about something like...

Instructional:
1 point for each regular season win
5 points for getting to the playoffs
5 points for winning league title

Minors:
2 points for each regular season win
10 points for getting to the playoffs
10 points for winning league title

Majors:
4 points for each regular season win
20 points for getting to the playoffs
20 points for winning league title

That way, if managers choose to send some of their better players to the lower leagues, they will only be hurting their championship chances (just like in MLB).
