Well, up to now every owner I sold the league on, heard about the number of wins. We should probably just stick with that given the late hour of this proposal. Although I certainly get the % idea, perhaps it is best to debate for the following draft.

... I'd match your 87 record up against the real 87 Cards. The better you do, the higher you draft.

Is better defined as number of wins over RL wins or percentage of wins over RL wins? In other words, if the Indians (60-102 RL) win 63 games, and the Blue Jays (99-62 RL) win 102, each would have 3 more wins than the real teams, but the Indians' record would be 5% better than RL and the Jays' only 3%. Using percentage would give the lower-salary teams a slight advantage in draft order.

Hmmm...interesting. I like that. Any other thoughts about this

I think its a good idea..

my team is in

I'm cool for anything. I do think we should put a rule in place for a tiebreaker if we keep it as is.

I didn't realize there had been any clarification that it is number of wins. My post started out as a question as to what defined "better" -- # of wins of % of wins. Looking through the thread I see that discussed, so I'm fine with it as is.

i asumed % was the way were doing it, hope it is

After some discussions in SLL with several owners, it looks like % would be the best way to go. This will be confirmed before the season starts.

Also, would anyone like to be on the waitlist?

May need 1...looks the one of the best teams may be available, the Cardinals

i would take the cards but it would put me w/ 2 teams in the NL. If you could realign one of my teams I would take it if you need me to.

Ill swap my As for one of very nice's two teams (i dontknow the other one) if it will help the league

No worries...Taint has offered to take them

cool

Anyone interested in the Atlanta Braves? We are heading into 1986 with a draft coming up, and looks like at least the Braves will be available. I'll post a seperate thread later, but figured I'd just bump this up for now.

Here is the team, heading into 1986. They pick 25th (this is a 26 team league):

Atlanta Braves
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium (Atlanta Braves: 1966-1996)
Name Season Franchise Pos Salary
Steve Bedrosian 1985 Atlanta Braves SP $3,972,403
Rick Mahler 1985 Atlanta Braves SP $5,601,672
Terry Forster 1985 Atlanta Braves RP $1,367,346
Gene Garber 1985 Atlanta Braves RP $2,241,002
Zane Smith 1985 Atlanta Braves RP $3,130,341
Bruce Sutter 1985 Atlanta Braves RP $1,556,506
Bruce Benedict 1985 Atlanta Braves C $694,790
Rick Cerone 1985 Atlanta Braves C $1,169,275
Bob Horner 1985 Atlanta Braves 1B $3,970,662
Gerald Perry 1985 Atlanta Braves 1B $889,457
Glenn Hubbard 1985 Atlanta Braves 2B $2,682,317
Ken Oberkfell 1985 Atlanta Braves 3B $2,724,628

Brad Komminsk 1985 Atlanta Braves OF $1,464,609
Dale Murphy 1985 Atlanta Braves OF $6,704,064
Milt Thompson 1985 Atlanta Braves OF $1,198,035
Claudell Washington 1985 Atlanta Braves OF $2,903,136
Len Barker 1985 Atlanta Braves SP $956,875

Craig McMurtry 1985 Atlanta Braves RP $436,251
Paul Runge 1985 Atlanta Braves 3B $537,183

I will take the hapless Braves. I think the 90s might be special, just not for this team.
