In addition to helping lesser teams with earlier free agent picks, I would suggest that the teams are put into divisions by salary to keep the stronger teams playing against each other - just an idea. Here are the salaries by team for these 12 teams, if that helps:

LAD 91,660,000
LAA 90,760,000
OAK 90,170,000
PIT 84,050,000
NYY 77,240,000
DET 74,970,000
CLE 73,820,000
STL 73,060,000
ATL 66,430,000
NYM 62,930,000
CIN 62,260,000
BOS 48,940,000

ok I am out guys this is another rule change

MFL - stay in.

I just suggested a way to stack the divisions - I'm the 12th guy in a 12-guy league; I carry no weight - stay in there. Could be a fun league.

I'm not sure that was a formal rule change, just a suggestion.

I really don't care one way or the other. To my mind, the $80M salary cap takes care of any potential competitive imbalance so slotting the divisions based on the salaries of the base teams is unnecessary.

MFL, stay in. divisions will be randomized.

1. twinsfan - Cardinals
2. Brent65- Dodgers
3. WJS6768 - Mets
4. Paul_Long71 - Angels
5. baseball CFO - Pirates
6. mpcharette - Tigers
7. krazykat - Reds
8. pkwmati - Indians
9.MFL536 - Yankees
10. markyura - Braves
11. alk58 - Red Sox
12. Risden - Oakland

Okay, looks like we are ready, so somebody randomize the divisions or we can go by record, don't care at all, you guys can vote or whichever one who took the Yankees and was thinking about dropping out wants, lets go with that so we can get going. Somebody from the the first division to fill can create the league and start passing around the password when they are ready

otherrwise..

80 million cap
use a recognizable name
only 3 FA from other teams, no salary limit, autodraft procedures will determine who gets who so put them at the top of your draft list
must use your teams stadium
5/10/20 drops
DH
oh yeah, and have some fun.

I will go with whatever is voted on

just start loading your teams, doesn't it automatically randomize (or did that feature change)
