ill take the Angels.

I'll go with the Royals

Cleveland for me please.

we have a league # yet?

Won't have a league # until I can build my team.

I'll take Joe Mauer, I mean the Minnesota Twins

Mauer and Greinke are off the board!

so is the Brad Lidge 09 season lol..just kidding..

Are we allowed to trade franchises? Im just wondering if I could trade Boston to someone? Not that I dont like them, but was just curious... Commish? a ruling? If the affirmative, anyone interested?

I'll open that idea up for discussion maddawg. My one concern with allowing trades of franchises is that If I'd picked right behind you and would have liked Boston, I might feel screwed if you traded them to someone farther down the line. If allowed, it would have to be a straight franchise swap, and not involve any trade of players beyond that. If a couple of owners or more object, I'd say no.

That would mess up the draft, but maddawg if you see someone on you like on my two teams....I am always looking for a rock solid y hitter

just throwing the idea out there is all. I mean, I took a lesser franchise (SD) on purpose so I could get a top five pick and draft Boston in the second round, which worked out perfectly. Then I started thinking, hmm, wonder if I could trade the pads for my other favorite team....Again, its just an idea and a way of keeping the discussion thread atop the live listings...And yes achilles, once we get the season started ill be happy to trade a big y (Ive got plenty: Boggs, Lynn, Vaughn, Yaz, Ortiz...)

lol....its funny I originaly had SD hoping to get BOS in round two then thought no way it would be available

Personally, I wouldn't be a fan of that. I think it would be ok if you wanted to trade franchises in Round 1 before both teams have drafted their 2nd franchises. That doesn't really affect anything. I think part of choosing your franchises is to decide which teams complement each other
