Guys I posted a new draft thread, Craig can start us off there any time. There is no trade freeze so please let me know as you make deals.
I strongly suggest you make even swaps of either picks for players or picks for picks, as uneven pick swaps force us to use supplemental rounds to finish the draft. If you do this you do not get an additional pick in Rnd 11, for example, just because you traded an earlier pick and your assigned picks end in Rnd 10, you will need to wait til the end for a makeup.
Also, in terms of eligible cards, I will be ruling as follows:
We will allow players from the Unleashed set to be played via strict adherence to the following criteria/rules:
a) All SP cards allowed if they have 5 starts and 29.2 IP. If SOM includes a pitcher as a starter with fewer starts or IP, we exclude them manually.
b) All RP cards with 29.2 IP or more will be allowed.
c) All hitter cards with 150 PA or more (AB+BB) will be allowed no matter card value.
d) All hitter cards with at least 50-149 PA will be allowed if card value is less than 6.5M.
e) All catcher cards with at least 50 PAs or more will be allowed if card value is less than 8M.
So there are really 2 effects of this rule, d and e. Crazy hitter cards from 50-149 PAs will be out, as will extremely crazy C cards from 50-149 PAs. But all Ps that would normally qualify will be in.
Please let me know if there is anything unclear, but hopefully these parameters will limit our version of the unleashed set to 2-3 players tops.
Thanks,
Qk
