NeL vs MLB - CTS LOAD NOW!

Good here.

I'm good with 100 mil

I don't agree with the $ upgrade, simply because it will allow the MLB teams to field better talent as well, and right now they already have a significant advantage. I don't see much on the table that could make a difference for the NeL teams.

Ok one nay was enough for me to stick with 100, we just got two so we stay put. If there's interest in another season after this one we can tweak as needed.

Now we draft RP's and 5th SP's. bontomn, you're up!

Tks for the quick feedback

The pitching is what needs help. I just hope the 12th best reliever under 2.73 mil is capable of relief....

In the future, I think the best way to do it would to either- Allow the NEL to have a higher salary than the MLB OR have only 4 Nel teams. The 50/50 split doesn't reflect the inequality; a 3-1 ratio would actually be better.

However to maintain interest and give everyone a real opportunity to win, I think the best set up is TWO divisions of MLB vs. 1 Division of Nel.

In fact, I think if I sacrificed my team right now, allowing them to be used by the other NEL teams, and drafted a MLB team
(even after the MLB draft) I could field a more competitive team than I have now.

Player Parameters
• 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
• MLB teams are allowed only 1 player at $10 mil or above
• Pure Relief pitchers must cost $2.73 mil or less
• Only two Bench players below $1.5 mil allowed
• All SP’s on MLB teams must be greater than $3 mil
• NeL teams must draft a NeL 5th SP. If a NeL team chooses to carry a 10th Pitcher and that pitcher has a SP rating it can be from the NeL or the MLB set. BUT staying with the intent of this league, that 10th Pitcher value IF FROM THE MLB SET cannot exceed the value of your 5th SP on a NeL team.

Sorry for laying that last one on everyone just now, but as we've all figured out at this point as we get deeper into this concept we have and will encounter little areas of vagueness. It seems to me that a NeL team could draft a low end 5th NeL SP and a better 10th MLB SP/RP that could play a more significant role. I could be wrong but that's how I see it so I wanted to eliminate that temptation.

Below is the draft order for the RP/5th SP draft based on a reverse of the original franchise draft order. 6 rounds. No minimum value for RP’s. Remember 4 of your RP’s must be pure RP, no SP rating. Your 5th SP can have a RP rating as well as your 5th RP.

We might need a little patience in kicking this draft off as I believe bontomn's access during the day is limited.

As always happy to field questions and even some venting! The answers to questions are free, taking the venting is $50/vent.

Sorry, I made my pick before I left this morning at 9:30 a.m. PDT, but somebody else must have sent a response before mine could get through. On Saturday, I'll be out all day (until at least 7 p.m.), so please bear with me. Tom

Sent you proxies, Rosie.

Pick again, Tom, RPs are 1920-1955, too, and cannot be any higher than $2.73 mil.
