Role Players Franch League 80 mill 1 to go! Topic

Every team has them...but in this league, every player is one! Managers always talk about using a pitcher or platoon player in situations that "give them the best chance to succeed". In other words, the player STINKS, but if you use them against that pitcher in that inning in that ballpark, maybe they'll just not stink. This league is a manager's delight as you will be continuously tweaking your lineup and pitching roles to use your roster effectively.

1. Pick a franchise.
2. Pick pitchers with up to 150 innings.
3. Pick position players with up to 450 AB.
4. Pick 6/4 average manual AAA from your franchise (same rules as above).
5. To be eligible for the playoffs, every player on your 25-man roster at the time of the playoffs must have at least 40 IP or 100 PA.

OTHER DETAILS:
80 million cap
1969 - 2015 only
DH , WW,
clones - No
Any ballpark can be used that has at least 1 rating of -4, -3, -2, +2, +3 or +4. (Makes life interesting...)
2 owners may select the same franchise, and will be placed in opposite leagues.
1 owner may enter 2 teams, and will be placed in opposite leagues.


That's it! Enjoy all the roster moves to keep players healthy and in the best possible situation to succeed.

1 spot left. 23 teams have entered their teams, but I lost contact with the 24th owner (He has picked up my sitemail but hasn't replied.)

I am therefore opening the last spot to the next person who has a valid team. The team can't be from the following franchises: Tigers, Padraes, Red Sox, Yankees, Cardinals, or the A's.

I hope no CLONES
7/6/2016 11:48 AM
Cardinals please! Let's say in Busch (the one that they used through 2005).

ONE QUESTION - Do you really mean up to 450 ABs (or PAs?)
7/6/2016 6:04 PM
I'd like to try the Astros in Camden Yards.

Question -- I assume "DH , WW - No" means No DH. Is that correct?

Welcome ddodge02. I mean up to 450 ABs. 450 ABs OK, 451 ABs not OK.

Correct. No DH. With the pitchers max 150 innings rule, the pitchers won't be batting much anyway. Lots of PHs to get every player into every game!
7/7/2016 9:20 PM
Yankees, please. I will take Yankee Stadium III, tentatively.
7/8/2016 6:28 AM
REDS--- looks like crosley or riverfront for me
7/8/2016 5:31 PM
REDS at Riverfront that's a correction... just one team...
