MFL, the eight teams listed in the message above yours are taken. All others are available at this time. The 1st message of this thread on page 1 lists all the rosters for each team. It's a fun league, hope ya join.

How many years during the 1980s did Steve Carlton pitch with the Cardinals?

Mike Hargrove with the Rangers? Richie Zisk with Pittsburgh?

If you read from the beginning Rad you will see this league is based on which team the player made his debut with.

I'll join

Based on that, with teams that have already been spoken for, here would be the team selection order:
1. FALCON29 – Red Sox (retained from 70s)
2. ycbill – A’s (retained from 70s)
3. djkalle – Dodgers (retained from 70s)

MFL - welcome aboard.

The official franchise rosters are on page 1.

The rules are:
GMs can opt to keep their team or draft a new one among the available teams based on reverse order of record as of game 81 in the 70s league. If your selected 80s team does not have the minimum needed for an autodraft, then you can fill your roster with players from franchises that have not been selected. The first 3 rounds of the free agent draft would be for only those franchises that have fewer than 25 players at the start of the draft. Then, starting in round 4, everyone joins in. In any round, draft order will be based on reverse order of franchise wins for each team in the decade of the 80s as shown here: http://mcubed.net/mlb/fw1980.shtml You must draft players to meet your minimum needs - for example, if you don't have any catchers, you must draft 2 catchers. If your franchise starts with 28 or more players, then you can only draft to meet the minimum required for the autodraft. If your franchise starts with less than 28 players, you can draft up to 28 players. We won't order divisions for the 80s but will allow HAL to set random divisions. Trading is allowed; however, you cannot use trades to alter your number of draft picks; for example, if you only have 2 catchers, you can't trade a catcher unless you receive one in exchange.

Also, each team plays in their home stadium. The normal 5/10/20 waiver penalty. DH, 80 mil. league can be set to frenzy waivers - but it doesn't matter since teams can only use their own exclusive-rights players.

So I can pick the Astros I get 13 additional draft picks?

So I can pick the Astros I get 13 additional draft picks?

Unfortunately, that is correct. I probably should have ruled out the Astros because they have so few carded players in the 80s (and/or maybe they had a terrible farm system). But, I didn't do that, so the Astros are available if you want to switch to them.
