An ATG9 league concept inspired by the passing of so many all-time greats this year.
$85MM Cap, 5% Drops, DH
This will be a 12 team league.
Once our list is full we have a random draw to determine draft order.
The draft is 4 rounds in a modified serpentine.
In round one, each team owner will select a single calendar year, 1900 or later. Each team will have exclusive rights to every MLB player born in their specific year. Picking order is 1-12 by priority, determined by randomizer.
In round two, each team owner will select a single calendar year, 1950 or later. Picking order is reverse of round 1. Each team will have exclusive rights to every MLB player who died in their specified year, UNLESS he was born in a year selected by another team in round one, in which case he will have no rights to that player.
In round three, owners will select one “qualifying reliever” (see Roster Rules below). To be eligible for selection an RP needs to be undrafted in rounds 1-2. Otherwise, pick your qualifying reliever without regard to his year of birth and/or death. Picking order is the same as round two.
In round four, owners will select their stadium. Picking order is reverse of round three. Select any stadium for which the combined value of the L/R differences is <= 10.
For instance, the following stadiums are eligible:
Anaheim ‘77: 6/6 2/12 - combined difference is 10
Camden Yards ‘05: 4/7 8/11 - combined difference is 6
Connie Mack ‘57: 11/6 1/12 - combined difference is 6
And the following stadiums are ineligible:
Minute Maid ‘05: 3/11 3/16 - combined difference is 16
Olympic Stadium ‘96: 14,9 10/4 - combined difference is 11
For the auto draft, build a 26-man exclusively with players you own.
Every team should get every player on their draft list!
Any errors must be fixed immediately after the auto draft.
Roster Rules
Rosters must be 26 players at all times, and every team must roster at least one “qualifying reliever”. A qualifying reliever is a pure reliever at a price between $5MM and $7MM. This rule specifically disqualifies the 4 RP cards above $7MM: ‘77 Sutter, ‘74 Murray, ‘87 Burke and ‘57 Wilhelm.
Trades will be permitted.
Baseball Reference allows one to easily see lists of hitters/pitchers born/died in any year.
Filling in some of the blanks in the rules here...
NEL players ARE eligible. A sweetener for some of the early years!
Divisional assignments will be as follows, corresponding with the randomizer order:
East: 1,6,7,12
Central: 2,5,8,11
West: 3,4,9,10
