Random Parks League - Filled!

PostMon Aug 04, 2014 8:38 pm

Now that we have 10 new ballparks, we're up to an even 180. That makes for 15 seasons for 12 guys. I propose that we do the usual - everyone gets assigned a random park, we draft four players in a serpentine draft on the board, then AD the rest of the team. Caps and rules will be randomized among 80 no DH, 80 DH, 100 no DH, 100 DH, 120 no DH, 120 DH. Any higher, and getting a small-ball park is death. Any lower and you have to be nuts like I am to enjoy it.

BTW, put the four guys you draft at the bottom of your draft list. If you forget and draft somebody else's guy, man up and trade him for the replacement guy. You can put any version of the guy you picked on your AD card.

We'll start a new round about every month (avoiding holiday weeks).

Great concept. Sounds like fun. The only concern I have is starting a new league once a month. I like my teams in ongoing leagues to be spaced no closer than 6 weeks apart. If you can do that, add me to the list. If not, I'm sure you'll have fun without me.

So about an 18 month commitment? Won't ATG9 be out by then?

ATG 9... Prob not. SOM is not Apple, there is not bi-monthly updates to be had... lol.

But come on folks! Where's your sense of adventure? This is a great theme, that I use to complain about all the time. In this one, we wont have 3 Forbes 57 and 2 Dunns, in the same league, as you build your righty hitting mashing team...

NO TWO PARKS WILL BE THE SAME, EVER (besides the stadiums that have the same numbers, just different names)

All the proposed salary caps are beginner friendly, and, its just a small live draft of 4 rounds.

This theme is just one the cusp of filling, we get 3 more names on the list... and the last 3 people will sign up shortly after that. Just seems that people always wait till the end to sign up for these things.
