How many rounds are we doing of the NeL players? Just until we have 8 starters and 4 pitchers? Sorry if this is somewhere in the thread already ... it's a lot to search through.

We can have no more than 77 mil for those 12. That gives us $23 mil for 12 more players -- less than 2 mil a piece average. There are only a handful of NeL players under $2 mil -- not enough to spread over 6 teams. How are we going to deal with that problem? Let the NeL draft cheap major league scrubs?

I notice that the major league teams are far into the draft, and still taking quality players like Stanky, Rosen, Mort Cooper. The NeL teams are at a definite competitive disadvantage. That's okay ... we signed up for this. But I think we should be allowed to draft a few sub-1 mil ML scrubs. That way we can also take a few 3-4 mil NeL guys as prominent backups, and maximize our starting lineup too.

We're already going to get killed in pitching matchups. Our lineups should be allowed to be as strong as possible.

Hi tomwistar - I'll share some of my modeling here shortly...in meetings for the balance of the day. I think you'll be surprised as to how the teams are matching up.

Averages so far. Yes NeL should trend down slightly but the MLB teams have only 5 Pos players to go. Also this is adding up the highest allowable MLB cards which won't be the case across the board. Pretty comparable

SP POS
NeL 7.15 7.84
Monarchs 7.55 8.03
Crawfords 7.19 7.92
Grays 6.71 8.46
AmerGiants 7.06 7.82
Eagles 7.94 6.65
Black Barons 6.88 8.23

SP POS
MLB Ave 5.54 7.95
Musial6 3.19 9.23
Andyc65 3.68 8.29
rburgh 5.94 7.37
lanier64 6.84 7.40
modmark46 8.49 7.82
BDWard 5.3 7.57

NeL teams are going to draft as far as we can as the Auto Draft will cause some challenges I would think. That said we will be combining with the MLB teams to draft pure RP's and we will also be drafting one low $$ value MLB player to round out the rosters. That should allow for a higher average across the balance of the bench.

Um, what the Heck fire do those numbers mean?

Um, what the Heck fire do those numbers mean?

First number is the average salary for SP and the second is the average salary for position players both across the different teams and the average across the Nel and MLB.
