2 - 4 - 6 League :: Expansion Era

PLAYER MOVEMENT

There have been a number of chats recently about player movement. Basic concepts are that:

- Each player is only eligible to play for one MLB franchise. If you own that franchise, then that player can only play for you. If he has more than one card with your franchise, then you can choose which one you'd like to use.

- Players from the 4 un-owned MLB franchises are available as free agents (along with scattered remnants of older teams). Each team in the 2 - 4 - 6 League can have up to three ringers or players from these un-owned franchises.

- Game engine rules apply as to dropping and picking up players. Penalties of 5%/10%/20% will apply, depending on the stage of the season.

- Managers can drop/pick up players from their own franchises, as desired. They can also drop/pick up ringers, too, as long as they never have more than 3 ringers on the roster at any given time.

- Players who belong to your MLB franchises can NOT be traded, since they only belong to you. Ringers CAN be traded, although managers must still stay within the 3-ringer limit.

- Future free agent draft pick swaps can also be made, as long as each manager still has 3 picks in each draft.

Here's an interesting factoid...

While reading up on the history of the Cleveland franchise, to find a good db-era name for the team, I learned that my shortstop, Ray Chapman, is the only MLB player ever to have died from an injury received at an MLB game. Chapman was beaned by Yankees' pitcher Carl Mays in 1920 and died 12 hours later!

That gives new meaning to the phrase "deadball."

that is very interesting I can't believe I never read or heard about Chapman.

I can't believe you can't load your team until Wednesday? Why is that? That means, if we're lucky the waivers won't be completed until Friday evening, possibly Saturday? So we only have the weekend - MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND - to try and fine tune our teams?


Yep - saw that it was a frenzy once we fill up - never mind, I guess....????

There is NO waivers period, since we already know the players eligible for our teams.

believe it.
answer the 2nd question is money and everybody knew that because i posted it.

i am willing to bet there won't be any moves, I would say we got the best 27 players left. So get your team ready now.

Sorry, but I never saw or read any posting regarding that. And if you bet that no one is going to make any moves, well....I think you're going to have even less money!

And we can't fiddle with our teams at this point until after the draft. So....we can't make any final moves to get them ready.

I think you're going to have even less money!

not possible!
how about a good laugh and what would you do if you were the umpire?

Great video! At age 29, the switch-pitching RP Venditte just earned his second shot at AAA ball after posting 22 IP in AA with an ERA of 0.82 and a WHIP of 0.73.

I'd love to see the Yanks promote him!
