ATG9 Theme League: League created!

I like the cheap scrubs idea the best...would be ok with 90M, don't want to draft. I like that the Autodraft strategy is a part of this, makes for some really interesting decisions. And I really don't want to wait for a 24-team draft of some sort...not what I signed up for. (sorry denorien, just giving my opinion)

no problem with 90MM cap and use of .75 subs from years not used in this league I am against any 24 team draft

Sorry I feel the need to chime in. I am not ok with a $ 90M cap. For the reasons bcousy57 mentions and others.

seems like we've got some people against the cap increase and others against the draft, so....let's find a way to make the cheap scrub option work!

Thanks to many of you for being understanding. Hopefully there will be a fair outcome for all and the league can continue on to the AD phase.

Having the option of a cheap scrub 5th SP so that you could have a 4 man *SP rotation and as a bench player to as to not have 2-3M backup bench players would go a long way.

questions on the cheap player option:

1. Does anyone need it JUST to fill out the AD card? or can everyone at least create a valid AD card. This matters as to when the cheap players can be put on your team. By doing it after the AD runs, you can make sure people aren't doing it even when they have other options. This is where it gets tricky, you don't want someone putting down a cheap guy when they could put a 1.66 M guy just so they have more AD cap space to put a higher $ guy elsewhere.

2. What years do we take the players from?

3. How many are allowable per team?

No raising the cap. No 24 team stomach churning draft.

I think it could be cool and okay if you allow .75 players from other years to join rosters but make those years 1-3 or 1-4 years from what year you were assigned so it stays as much as it can in the theme.

So 96-97 could conceivably fill out his roster from 1993-2000 players.

Also, when will this league be available? Assuming there will be a password for it to join?

1. Don't agree with this as if you followed that thought the teams with the most players to choose from would have a several Million dollar cap advantage over the other years.

2. don't care what years or what price they are limited to

3. 3

None of this has been approved by the commish so it is all just talk at this point. However if some sort of relief plan isn't in place I, and I'm sure others, will not be able to field my team for this league.

LM, what part don't you agree with in #1... are you saying you'd rather everyone was able to put down scrub players (up to 3) on the AD card. I'm fine either way, I just thought it would give even more benefit to those teams that are able to make a team if they were able to put a couple cheap guys down then they could go after even higher $ guys elsewhere.

Guys, this is getting wild. Let's stick with the plan, for the sake of clarity and fairness to all who signed up: $80 million, no DH, draft only players carded in the years for your team. No cheap scrub option, or any of that other stuff.

This league is an experiment. Let's see how it goes. If you don't like how things are set up, perhaps you could see if anyone on the boards wants to take over your team before the autodraft.
