Ok....we will just scrap the idea of free agents....unless you guys got a better way.....don't want to make this too confusing.

I wouldn't be opposed if NEL players were declared in the 2nd round, because then it would allow teams to strategize guys who fit best for their combined franchise choices and at the same time wouldn't give best NEL players to best franchises taken first like Yanks. ... Another ruling we need is with Satchel Paige - Is he considered a NEL player because it is his highest salary, or does his Indians card take precedence because the Indians are a franchise used, I.e., he wouldn't be considered an eligible extra card unless the Indians owner doesn't pick him ?

I recommend 1 or 2 round draft immediately after franchise selections

Not sure I agree with this method either. Teams that stunk are now drafting first to last than they get last picks in expansion round AND Free Agent pick up as well. That's not fair either

Why not do our normal draft then ask for a randomizer. We can use our draft position to correspond to the randomized numbers. That would also allow the franchises that weren't picked to be in play.

This sounds fair

Ditto - sounds reasonable and fair.

Wow, what a #@%^&storm I started. Stachel's packed his bags.

Randomizing sounds like the way to go. It gives everyone a shot.

OK......I am going to try and explain this free agent draft procedure one more time, and then I am going to drop the subject. Maybe I just didn't do a good job of explaining it, and thus created so much confusion.

Using HARMONK as an example since he has the first pick: once he has chosen his second team: he then puts a draft roster together, instead of having to draft 25 players from his 2 chosen franchises, he only needs to have 24 and then the 25th player is a free agent from teams not taken (or a player from the Negro Leagues). For the sake of argument let's say he puts Oscar Charleton on his draft list; there is nothing preventing NYMETS99 (or any other manager for that matter) from also putting Oscar Charleton on their draft list! ( no manager has to reveal who he is drafting).
Just like in non franchise leagues Strat will randomly decide which manager gets said player. It is no different from when 4 or 5 players all try to get Ruth , but only one manager is lucky enough to get him. So what I don't understand here is how is this an advantage for any one player??????? There are more than enough players in the NEL to suffice: we are only talking 12 more players here; if you don't get your first choice and you don't like the player you get , just like always you can waive him and pick up someone else.

As I said before a supplemental draft would just slow the process down. And although I have seen the term randomizer before, I am not sure how it even works. If you guys decide on randomizers one of you will have to run with that aspect of the draft. I will just create the league once everything is good to go.


Let's draft.....paging POWRTRIP !
