Once you start looking at some of the Yankee teams (especially 67-80ish) there is 1 real standout guy, then a good drop-off to #2.
Not really, and since not everybody will be using the same year, there may only be one team using that specific year.

Also depends what your team needs. I may need a shortstop while another needs a pitcher.

not sure if these are all correct but I added Angels and Royals to page 1 post--I saw where they were claimed and don't see anything about being dropped. Cleveland was dropped on 6/18.

Anyone able to commish and make final decisions on incentives for bad teams?
7/6/2012 11:43 PM

Okay, I might be able to commish this league.  I've never run a progressive, and my one attempt to run a current progressive fell apart.  However, this looks like it might be easier, as I wouldn't have to post keepers or availables.  The commissioner would have to only track which seasons each team used, and which free agents were used by which teams.  He would also have to check each roster at the start of each season to ensure they are correct.  Does that make sense so far?  If so, and you're willing to have a commish who may occasionally be unavailable (I'm a Federal LEO and Police Chaplain, so I may be deployed in emergencies and have no access to the Internet), then I'll do it.

As for the decision-making part of commissionership, what say I offer a plan, and we vote on it?  So far, the owners who have shown an interest have had great ideas, and I think we can make this work. 

If there are no objections to me doing this, I'll post an incentive plan by Sunday evening.

By the way...trades: yes or no?

Oh, one other thing.  I believe in redundancy.  Would there be another owner willing to backstop me and keep the team info and check the free agents, as well as check my roster?  And would anyone be willing to be an official record-keeper, tracking stats, such as most HRs, and who won what awards? 

EDIT: Okay, that's two things.  But I'm going to bed.

sorry dn -  i need to drop this one.
7/7/2012 11:01 AM
Sorry,  I dropped out about 3 weeks ago (removed post).  The Royals are still available.
7/7/2012 2:21 PM (edited)
dannino, I'd be willing to help with checking free agents and such...also, could keep records, but if it's set up as a progressive all numbers and leaders and such would already be readily available in the league office.
7/7/2012 4:27 PM
I think we are at 16 teams (updated above).

Might want to verify that rest are still in.
