INFO on 2nd Season of 125 Mill Franchise League

PostThu Feb 02, 2023 9:49 am

The first season of this format, created by cardiaccubbie1 (THANK YOU), is a very interesting take on Franchise Leagues.
By having a 125 Mill cap, it limits some of the usual very powerful franchises-- yes the Yankees can still have Ruth, Mantle and Gehrig, but the rest of the team then has some weaknesses.
Right now the first season is well underway, and the Yankees are under .500.....
So the salary level does have a profound effect...

And as there are 16 franchises to choose from, so the last owner in will still have choices and options.

So, with one of my last remaining credits, I am launching Season 2, and I will be taking the Braves Franchise (yes I know, I am a glutton for punishment). I have created a custom player set, that has removed all non-franchise players and ballparks.

Here is the league description:

Every team must use its official team name e.g. Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals. Teams with two cities can decide e.g. Brooklyn Dodgers or Los Angeles Dodgers. (only one team has 3 cities, Boston Braves, Milwaukee Braves, Atlanta Braves) Every team must pick ONLY from its own roster of 4 options; dead ball, pre WW2, post WW2, Expansion. The players you choose must be carded from your team only e.g. Rogers Hornsby can play for the Cubs or St. Louis and the team that gets him must use a Card from that team. 2nd e. g. if the Boston Red Sox pick Babe Ruth, they can ONLY use him as a pitcher. Etc. (of course, by doing this, they will keep him off of the Yankees!)

After the teams have been picked you must drop any player who is not found in one of your 4 options and you can only pick up waivers from those 4 options as well. No NeL players will be available, nor will any players be available from teams that do not have the 4 options available to--In other words, the team you pick’s original roster must be purely players from that team!

Trades WILL be allowed after the draft. You are able to trade with anyone as long as trades are within the salary cap restrictions. That is the only way that you will be allowed to have a player on your roster that is not carded to your team.

NOTE: If you trade for a player from another franchise, you can only use the player card year that was traded to you. Example: If the Senators/Twins franchise trades the 1913 Walter Johnson to the Yankees for the 1941 Joe DiMaggio card, then the Yankees can only use the 1913 Walter Johnson card, and the Senators/Twins can only use the 1941 DiMaggio card. The only exception to this rule, is if you trade for a player that has cards for multiple franchises including yours. Example: In the autodraft, the Indians lose on Tris Speaker to the Red Sox (as Speaker has cards for both teams). After the draft, the Indians could make a trade with the Red Sox for the 1912 Red Sox Speaker card, and decide to use that card, or the 1920 or 1923 cards which are Cleveland Indian Cards.

Each team must pick a ballpark that their team played at e.g. the Cubs must choose one of the Wrigley Field options. If there are no options for your team ballpark, please do not pick a ballpark that another team will use so that no two teams will have the same ballpark.

And lastly, first come, first served. If after you join the league, you find that someone got in ahead of you with the same team, you must pick another team. I will be the BRAVES FRANCHISE. Once everyone signs up, I will create the league, and share the custom player set.

There are 16 team options to choose from to fill 12 spots. They are as follows:
1. BKN db, pre, post, LA exp. Dodgers
2. BOS db, pre, post, exp Red Sox
3. BSB db, pre, MIL post, ATL exp Braves
4. CHC db, pre, post, exp Cubs
5. CHW db, pre, post, exp White Sox
6. CIN db, pre, post, exp Reds
7. CLE db, pre, post, exp Indians
8. DET db, pre, post, exp Tigers
9. NYG db, pre, post SF exp Giants
10. NYY db, pre, post, exp Yankees
11. PHA db, pre, post OAK exp Athletics
12. PHI db, pre, post, exp Phillies
13. PIT db, pre, post, exp Pirates
14. SLB db, pre, BAL post, exp Browns, Orioles
15. STL db, pre, post, exp Cardinals
16. WAS db, pre, post, MIN exp
