USKL

Thank you Kevin. I welcome the challenge and will do my best for us all.

I will be spending a good part of the next year at the actual Kanazawa, so should be able to keep the Castle on course.

Bump --- Not seen any trade talks with the Original USKL!! Apparently everyone is HAPPY with their team!

My team is so thin in talent - I don't have much to trade.

I have a team who can score some runs in Yankee Stadium. However, I have a pitching staff that will give up MORE runs! I have 20 Pitchers on my Roster and only 1 of them is a legit starter in a Keeper League (Alex Wood). Yikes!

OK-- new set comes out in a few days. Traditionally, this league is the first to drop and draft before the onslaught of the other numerous leagues get rolling. I would like to do that again. As soon as the game pops up, I will post the Drop Thread. Once drops are made, I will quickly put together an available players list and start the draft. Below are some of the rules when starting the new year:

7. Heading into the start of a NEW YEAR -- the Divisions (AND the FREE AGENT DRAFT ORDER) will be in order of the previous year's total combined standings. Any ties will be broken by; 1. Head to Head results and if needed -best head to head better seed; 2. Greatest positive RS-RA differential. The league will be formed such that the EAST will be teams 1-4, the CENTRAL 5-8 and the WEST 9-12.


8. At the start of each TSN carded year, there will be a Free Agent Draft in which the teams will be able to reshuffle and restock their teams with new players. The Players eligible for the Free Agent Draft (and the subsequent Supplemental Draft later in the year) are any player who played in the Major Leagues in any prior season. This includes any hitter with at least one PA any pitcher with at least one batter faced.

9. Preceding the Free Agent Draft at the start of a year, all teams must release a MINIMUM of 5 players that they wish to exchange out for the purpose of redrafting. There IS NO MAXIMUM amount of players that may be dropped. The players MUST be released prior to the start of the Free Agent Draft and will be eligible to be redrafted in that same Free Agent Draft (provided that they played in the Major Leagues in the previous season). If (through unbalanced trades) you enter the Free Agent Draft with LESS than a 40 man roster, you will get as many extra rounds necessary (in addition to those you receive for player drops) to bring your roster back up to maximum capacity.

10. At the start of each season of play you may choose to stay in the park you just played in, or choose to play in another park. You will be required to announce your decision prior to the start of either the upcoming Supplemental or Free Agent Drafts and a subsequent Stadium draft will ensue for those teams wishing to switch, run in the SAME ORDER as the upcoming player draft.

Kev, just clarifying rule 8, we are allowed to DRAFT unleashed players, but we do not use the unleashed set for league play.

Just want to be sure I've got it correct.

Yep - we are not using Unleashed in the league play. We can draft any player we wish (alive or dead), as long as they had a PA or faced a batter on the mound. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe Pepitone, and Bake McBride are all eligible!

Thanks for the Roster update and for the rules refresh. Most helpful!

FYI---- Tanman was already down 1 player, so he will have to DROP 2 more players due to this 5 for 2 player deal. Champ will get 3 more picks in the draft.
