READ 'em and WEEP

ALL DRAFT TIMES ARE EASTERN


A reincarnation of examinerebb's league, and with the vanishing of Doctorkz I thought I'd see if people were interested in playing this once very popular theme league. You'll be assigned a random season of every player you draft. We'll send each eligible season of a player's career thru random.org's number generator.

It is based on the idea that, even when a real life team has a superstar player, they may not get a superstar season from him. Injuries and slumps will occur. So, when you get your roster posted…you could be reading it…and weeping.

We will have a 25 round serpentine style draft (draft order determined at random.org) . Each player drafted is exclusive to the owner who drafted them, and only your drafted players may appear on your roster. At the end of the draft you'll find out which season of that player's career you'll get to use. This is one league where lucky might be better than good...




Some basic rules to follow…

You must use the full player season in the year you are assigned.

First and last seasons of a player's career will be eliminated if they contain less than 400 AB, or less than 100 IP for a starting pitcher. This is according to baseball-reference.com, not ab/162 or ip/162. I do this because this is where I calculate the available seasons, etc.

Cap undetermined (to help those who make the TOC, the cap will be decided by finding out who has the largest payroll)

Trades …encouraged! You may have some holes to fill. Trades are only allowed after all picks are made.

50 live for playoffs

NO DH

No WW

No AAA

Your stadium will be randomly assigned when your roster is posted

Random realignment


One mulligan refresh for both a hitter and a pitcher.

I will have a respected HOF owner, not involved with the league randomize my team.  Most likely it will be a non-live player.

You created a live league and didn't automatically sign me up?

don't even have to ask me...my fav league..IN

YES.  I have a question - could we allow coaches to substitute either of their refreshes for a stadium refresh?  Seems like it would add an interesting twist.  I mean, you'd have to have a really good draw for that to be more valuable, but if it happens to come up that way...

I'm in
