Now that I actually started scouting for this league I discovered that each team’s player pool will be a little more limited than I thought, and also that almost every team will likely end up with a logjam at at least one position. So I have amended the rules to say trading will be permitted. I think it might actually become a fun element in the roster building.

I am guessing that everybody will be fine with this. If not, let me know.

I've been thinking the same thing. It may actually be more difficult to put together an eligible bench cheaply enough to have money leftover for a competitive starting lineup.

I was thinking (which is usually problematic) I had to draft a "Born" team from late in the century to ensure I got a $5-$7M RP and didn't get shut out on my "died" year. Trading will open it up a little bit.

B. U. M. P.

We need two brave souls to fill this thing.

I’m in! Thanks

I'm sending everyone who has signed up so far a link to a spreadsheet showing all RP's eligible for the $5-7MM RP-only rule, sorted by year of birth.

On the one hand there are nearly thirty different qualifying years, but on the other hand about one-third of them (around 1970-forward) are recent enough to make their selection at least somewhat unattractive due to a lack of low priced players.

So I'm thinking that we tweak the rules to add another round to the beginning of the draft, in which we each select a qualifying reliever regardless of birth/death year. This will take the RP-only rule out of consideration when choosing your birth/death years. Any RP not selected in round one would still go to an owner who selects his birth/death year, but those selected in round one would not.

Let me hear what you think!
