Franchise Partners Plus League

This is a franchise league with a salary cap of $167 million with a DH. There are 13 franchises listed below; each was formed by combining ATG teams based on nickname/mascot similarities and the combined franchise name is intended to be at least descriptive if not somewhat whimsical! Each franchise in this league will also be supplemented by a free agent pool comprised of players from the NeL, the Braves franchise, the Indians franchise and whichever teams comprise the unselected franchise among the 13 listed here. In an attempt to level the field, the number of free agents will be either 1 or 2; the first six franchises selected will get one free agent, while the last six will get two apiece. The free agent selection will occur on the ILC in reverse order. So, the owner getting first pick of franchises will get the 12th free agent pick. Franchises selected 7-12 will also get their second pick after the first round of the FA selection on the ILC; for example, if I get the 12th pick of franchises, I'll get the 1st and 13th pick of free agents, the owner selecting 11th will get the 2nd and 14th FA pick et cetera.
Franchises
The Elusive Scramblers - comprised of all Dodgers and Senators
Dangerous Dudes - comprised of all Tigers and Diamondbacks
Gotham Vacationers - comprised of all Yankees and Marlins
Mounted Protectors - comprised of all Phillies and Rangers
Clerical Clubbers - comprised of all Cardinals and Padres
Winged Warriors -comprised of all Orioles and Blue Jays
Claws, Paws and Horns - comprised of all Cubs and Royals
High Seas Sluggers - comprised of all Pirates and Mariners
Candy Cane Hosers - comprised of all Red Sox and White Sox
Shaded Swatters - comprised of all Reds and Browns
Towering Titans - comprised of all Giants and Rockies
Studs and Suds - comprised of all Athletics and Brewers
Outer Limits - comprised of all Angels, Expos and Astros

Player eligibility - Player with multiple cards belong to the franchise which holds his highest salary. This will be his only playing option; if, for example, the Towering Titans franchise leaves Bonds off of its roster, the High Seas Sluggers cannot use him. Bonds will then have to watch the season from the comfort of the Juice Bar (sorry, couldn't resist!)

We'll ask for a random generator once league is full; the random numbers will be assigned in order of sign-up (e.g. 7th to join gets 7th number in the sequence) and then conduct the franchise selection on ILC to be immediately followed by the free agent selection.

Hope we can have some fun! Questions welcome! Ridicule barely tolerated!

mrharryc!

Just curious why you didn't combine Braves and Indians in a politically correctly-named choice also? They'd be a natural, wouldn't they? Or too strong?

Harry,...clarification please...guy like Hughie Jennings...and the Louisville only players like Hecker and Browning...will they be assigned to a specific franchise or are they free agents...I am sure there are others in these catagories


Thanks

Vinnie
