Yes modmark thanks. CTStough, you too, thanks.
I modeled out all the NeL and MLB teams somewhat like a mock draft using the top salaries for both, the NeL team salaries ranged from 102 mil to 108 mil and the MLB teams were 115, so seems to prove out 100 mil is a good Cap. In doing so I reaffirmed the potential areas of discrepancy, Bench and SP’s. The minimum bench value for the NeL teams was 22.47. I’m happy to share my spreadsheet on google docs if anyone wants a look.
Here are the player parameters we will use to draft:
• 100 mil cap
• 23 mil min must be used for all Bench, Relievers and 5th SP (even after dropping down to 24 if desired). Which will leave 77 mil max for your 4 other SP’s and 8 Starting Position players
• All MLB Players must be carded for the years 1920 to 1955, except for those assigned to the NeL, which are limited to the years assigned (see expanded list below).
• MLB teams are allowed only 1 player at $10 mil or above
• Relief pitchers must cost $2.73 mil or less
• Only two Bench players below $1.5 mil allowed
• 5th SP on MLB teams must be greater than $3 mil
So here’s what I’ve come up with as next steps:
1. Teams finish picking stadiums
2. NeL and MLB teams start drafting in parallel (I’ll set up another ILC for MLB)
a. I’d like to see how the draft progresses before moving over to auto draft. I have a feeling there’s going to be a ton of cleanup if we leave a bunch of picks up to the AD.
b. Ideally we draft everything but the relievers (wishful thinking?)
