Virtual Reality 12 team league-25 man lists-FA Draft

i agree with (2) FA rounds....5 rounds can change a team to much

I'm good with 2 rounds - my brain is already hurting. But, I'll go with whatever others want.

1. Oldmansmith2 - Oakland Athletics
2. ycbill - Milwaukee Brewers
3. Eddie E - Los Angeles Dodgers
4. carlerik - Washington Nationals
5. Paul j kiggins
6. STEVENHOLMAN
7. unclerouser
8. FAaron
9. Spider67
10. GBrookes
11. LMBombers
12. Sam Hoff

Questions: 1. Are we all playing with 25 man rosters?
2. Is there a limit to how many of your core teams players you can have? In other words, could someone who
picked the Cubs have a team of 25 Cubs with no FA's?
3. Do we play in our teams real ballpark?

Sounds like fun!

Good point, I did check everybody that I plan to protect. One other thing, the rules allow for trading but that would be after we have declared our 25 man initial roster right? Up until then we have exclusive rights to the players from the team we draft, but they're not ours to trade until we have protected 25 of them and the unprotected ones go into the pool of available free agents. Am I correct on this Geoff?

Process:
1. Draft franchises
2. Declare a 25 man protected list on the boards here
3. Do 2 round FA draft. The FA pool is every player not on one of the 25 man protected lists, including all players on other (non-drafted) franchises. As each Free Agent is drafted, that player must cut one of his 25 protected franchise players, who then is added back into the FA pool
4. Autodraft teams using up to 3 additional Free Agents if desired. More than 5 FA's can be used provided that 20 franchsie players are maintained at all times (i.e. you can carry more than 25 players if you want, as long as 20 are franchise players).

Question to the group - the main reason I didn't do a 5 round FA draft on the boards was that originally this was a 24 team concept, which I shortened to 12 teams. Does the group want to do a 5 round FA draft on the boards?

My unauthorized answers:
1. Up to 28 players are allowed on the final roster (from Geoff's quote above).
2. Free agent picks 3-5 are optional. The first two picks are probably optional.
3. Real ballparks are required (from Geoff's prior message).

will pick by 10pm est

SamHoff, do you want the spreadsheet?

Several have asked, and I believe I’ve sent them. I will send them from my office computer also, for the ones that I noticed on my emails this morning, in case the spread sheet is transmitted better from my office computer (compared to my iPhone).

To answer another question from the posts above, free agent picks are entirely optional. You can simply field a roster of 25 franchise players (or more, if you have the cap room).

Further to my post above - if you have the available cap space, up to $75 million, you can protect more than 25 franchise players if you want. The limitation is really the available cap space for the “rostered” franchise players.

However, there is a *minimum*. You must designate 25 franchise players within the $75 million cap.

Also, remember that any players that you do not include in your list become free agents who may be claimed in the 2 round draft (seems like a concensus) or in the auto draft, or at any time during league play. Moreover, if you cut franchise players at any time, they become free agents available to any other team.

***Note*** - for those of us who are also in “Paul’s Franchise League” - this is a rule difference in this league - franchise players do not *remain* unavailable to other teams if they are not on your designated or active roster.

got the cubbies info boss....they have exactly 25 players..lol
