$160 Million - Rocky Mountain High Draft

Description: In this league, there will be six different 4-person 25-round drafts. Each draft represents the four owners within one division. Within each draft, players will be exclusive to the owner that drafts him (i.e., only one Babe Ruth per division). All players are eligible to be drafted and the player's season and salary must be announced when drafted (this is especially important for players with partial/combined seasons). Round 1 draft order will be random draw. After Round 1, the lowest cumulative team salary determines who picks first in the subsequent round, second-lowest picks second, etc. Make sure you draft enough innings. The DH will be in use.

Salary Cap: $160 Million
Seasons: Any
DH: Yes
Clones: No
Ballpark: Coors Field or Mile High Stadium
Division Alignment: Based on round 1 order of finish.
NL East: 1st, 12th, 13th, 24th
NL Central: 4th, 9th, 16th, 21st
NL West: 5th, 8th, 17th, 20th
AL East: 6th, 7th, 18th, 19th
AL Central: 3rd, 10th, 15th, 22nd
AL West: 2nd, 11th, 14th, 23rd

Here are the participants in this draft:
2nd - redcped
11th - Bill_James47
14th - mjkrunner
23rd - mpitt76

I need a volunteer to keep track of the players selected, as well as the cumulative team salary after each round, so the new round's draft order can be posted.

I'd be happy to help out with the AL West draft tracking (players & salary).

Much appreciated! Thank you!

Just to get it out there as far as timeframes ...

I'm on the West Coast and generally able to make picks up until about 11 pm Pacific. My job is remote, so I am next to my computer, but I'm also in a busy project right now and might have gaps where I can't check in. So I may be sporadic during the day, depending on what's going on. I get SM forwarded to my email so they'll pop up and I'll usually know when I'm up.

I am a chef living in eastern standard time. I have a busy weekend of work and won't be online for large gaps during the day. Next week is very open for me. I am also used to working nights so I am often awake late and can be available till between midnight and 1am most nights.

I'm also on East coast (outside of Philly), and should be available on and off most days. No rush regarding the selections; I was going to use the next couple of days to organize my draft plan (just got back Wednesday night from 10 days in Toronto & Montreal).

I also just set up the draft list pages to keep it on page 1 of the forum thread.

I'm going to get this draft started by taking Babe Ruth 1924 ($13,517,306).

1915 Pete Alexander ($23,042,470)

Pick again mpitt76; players can only be selected once (not player-season combinations) and I had already chosen a Babe Ruth season with the first selection. Thanks.
