Dual Franchise League Season 45

Season 45



This will be the 45th season of the dual Franchise League. Salary cap will be 145 million, using a DH, 5% player drop and no waivers, same parameters as last season. Also, we will stick with the same format as this past season where there is no designation of either original or expansion teams; you may pick any 2 teams on the board.

We will be using a different players pool this season. All eligible players will be from the 1946 season to present. You may use any ballpark from 1946 to present.


Falcon will be creating the player subset shortly.

Just wanted to get a jump on things while we are waiting on the draft order. Also, we will be looking for at least one manager to fill out the league with Piloneous not returning. If you know of anyone who might be interested please have them contact me.

List of eligible franchises;


Reds------------- Yankees----------------- Giants

Braves----------- Indians------------------ Cardinals

Redsox----------- Dodgers------------------ Cubs

Tigers----------- Whitesox----------------- Phillies

Astros----------- Expos/Ntls---------------- Mets

Mariners--------- Royals-------------------- Twins

Oriole's---------- Pirates-------------------- Blue jays

Marlins---------- Rockies------------------- Brewers

Angels----------- DiamondBacks----------- Rangers

Padres-----------Tampa Bay————————A’s

For the benefit of any new players I am reposting the rules of the league.



There are currently 30 franchises to pick from; each manager picks 2 franchises via the draft and builds his team from these two franchises. A manager has exclusive rights to players on his 2 franchises. If a player has a card with 2 different teams, the team with his highest salaried card retains his rights

Using Roger Clemens as an example; here are some different scenarios;

------- If both Toronto and Boston get chosen in the draft; Toronto would own his rights because they have the highest salaried card for Clemens. Toronto could use either one of Clemens' cards either the Toronto or Boston card.

-------If Toronto and Boston are both chosen, but Toronto does not have Clemens on their opening day roster, Boston could now pick up Clemens off the waiver wire once the first game is played. Boston could also use either of his cards.

------If Toronto does not get picked and Boston does, Clemens now defaults to Boston, and once again they can use either of his cards.

------Lastly, if both teams get picked and during preseason discussions the manager of Toronto informs Bostons' manager he has no intention of using Clemens, then Boston can pick him off the waiver wire without waiting for the first game to be played ( sort of a gentlemans agreement).


____________________________________________________________________________________________________

TRADES

Each manager is allowed to make one trade during the season. However, any player you are trading must be on your 24 man roster in order to make the trade. So, if you agree to a trade while the team draft is still underway; you must wait till the league is created, make sure the player you are trading is on your roster and then make the transaction.
This will allow everyone to follow trades easier and also to prevent managers from making controversial trades by throwing in player" rights" to conduct a trade.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

FREE AGENTS

Each team will be allowed one free agent on their roster. The free agent however, must come from one of the 6 teams not chosen in the draft. Additionally this free agent must not have cards with multiple teams.

Using the Angels as an example;

-------if the Angels are not chosen in the draft, players such as Mike Trout and Ken Tatum would be eligible FAs because their only cards are with the Angels. Players such as Bobby Grich and Rod Carew, would not be eligible because they have cards with Baltimore and Minnesota respectfully.

-------to draft a FA, simply place him on your draft wish list, that way we all have an equal chance of landing a coveted player ( it would make sense to rank him first to better your chances). If you do not get the player you were seeking, and you do not like the player that was given to you by Strat; you can simply cut the undesired player and pick up another.

------lastly, you can only put a claim in for one free agent at a time, you cannot not put several players on your roster to increase your odds on landing a coveted FA.

While we have some time I thought I would update some league records etc

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE RECORDS FROM THE PREVIOUS 44 SEASONS. I DID NOT HOWEVER USE THE STATS FROM THE SEASONS WE USED THE FULL ATG SET, THE STAS ARE SKEWERED. THE NUMBER TO THE RIGHT IS THE SEASON IT OCCURRED IN.

Many of these records will be tough to break whereas the pitching has gotten so strong over the seasons. There were 2 records tied and broken this past season however; Clayton Kershaw tied Greg Madduxs record for most wins in a season with 28 ! Will we ever have a 30 game winner?

And Jim Edmonds infamously shattered his own previous record by striking out and incredible 254 times !

I'm interested. Can you send me a copy of the draft list since you are not using ATG9? Or if its not available yet maybe last season's list so I can have a clue of what to expect.
Dee

Ok Rattlers you are in, welcome to the league. If you wish to see the player pool you can either create a new team in ATG 9 and using the drop down choose ATG9-Post WW2 V13". If you don’t want to create a team just yet, you can simply go to the ATG 9 set, hit the advanced link and choose 1946 to 2021 years. You could also choose each franchise and ignore any players prior to 1946.
We are still sorting out our draft list, once we do we will start the draft right here on this page , I will post the draft order here when it’s finalized. I can tell you that you definetly won’t be picking either first or second, and not last either.

I'm afraid that I need to back out. Thank you for your consideration.

Just trying to jumpstart things here, below is a partial draft list and I will fill in the rest as it’s completed. As you can see above we had the open spot filled but that person has now backed out, so still trying to fill it.


Here is the draft order;






Round 1

1] Pacoboy— Yankees

2) PJK— Indians

3) Treyomo—-

4) Fowldawg

5) Toine—

6) EPF

7) Musial

11)PJK

12)Pacoboy

Here's what PJK last posted in league mail when he clarified his draft pick: "I have been asked to clarify. pick #2??? YES. Indians?? to be determined. PJK". Based on that, I think it is premature to assume that Pete wants the Indians. I'm sure he'll let us know in the morning.
