The Real Life Progressive League is looking for an owner for the Astros for our upcoming 2002 season, with our draft starting around 7 December.  This team has the 12th pick in the first round.  The pitching staff is awesome, easily one of the best in the league!  #4 starter Wade Miller went 15-4 that year, and you have two solid closer/setup men.  The batting order is decent, with Sammy Sosa (49HRs) batting cleanup.  This is our 22nd season and we have a very good group of owners with lots of trading and owner stability.  All available players in the draft are hyperlinked for easy reference.  The full roster and rules are listed below, please contact me or flbarons if interested.

Houston Astros (20 Keepers - Need 5)

C - Ivan Rodriguez, Brandon Inge
1B -
2B - Rey Sanchez, Mark Derosa
3B - Placido Polanco, Bill Mueller
SS - Jimmy Rollins
OF - Sammy Sosa, Troy O'Leary, Brady Clark

RP - Shigetoshi Hasegawa, Robb Nen, Dennys Reyes, Kazuhiro Sasaki, Rudy Seanez, Steve Karsay

Cuts  - Rod Beck P (IR until 03), Jose Cabrera P, Pat Mahomes P, Ray Lankford OF, Jason Tyner OF, Mark Sweeney OF, David McCarty OF, Vance Wilson C

Ret - Jeff Shaw
  
  • Scheduled draft slots are based on your 'Need' # from the Cuts/Keepers List on the Rosters thread.  If you keep 19, you get six rounds of picks. 
  • If you trade one of your picks after the 2001 trade deadline (we are past that), you must wait until the supplemental round to get the extra player, or obtain a pick in a trade.  Any draft slots you obtain via a trade, you can use as you see fit. 
  • You may trade players and/or 2002 picks for 2003 picks. 
  • The Real Life Draft Pool -- 2002 will contain all available players.  If someone is left out of the pool, he is not eligible.
  • All rounds are one pick only
  • As long as the owner ahead of you has selected, you may pick (except in the 1ST RND, then wait for time slot unless everyone ahead of you has picked) 
  • The next day (8AM) picks can't begin ahead of time unless all owners from the previous day have picked
  • Proxies are encouraged
  • All drops will be done prior to the cuts/keepers deadline
  • Prospects (players who are WIS ineligible, but did start their MLB career in 2002) can only be selected in the first round. See the real life Draft Pool list.   You may maintain only one Prospect until he becomes WIS eligible.  If you select a prospect, you will not be awarded another round to pick an active player, and must wait until the supplemental round or obtain another pick via a trade.
  • If there are any uneven player deals or prospect selections and you do not have 25 players, you can select during the Supplemental Draft. The Supplemental Draft will begin after the regular draft to fill the holes.  The Supplemental Draft will usually occur the day after the regular draft ends.  It's first come, first served, but you may only pickup one player per hour.
  • Final Roster moves can occur after the Supplemental Draft.  This is when you may drop players and pick up someone who was left unclaimed.  You may only drop/pickup once per hour.
  • The AAA Draft will start after the add/drop portion of the main draft and will be 4 rounds.  You can keep your AAA players as part of your next year's roster, but at most you can keep 25 players plus 1 prospect plus IR eligible players.
  • It is highly unlikely that once the season has started, any roster error on the part of an owner will be corrected.  The bar will be left high.
  • Please smail the next 2 owners.

Other rules to remember: You must win 36 games to qualify for the 1st pick in the draft.  35 wins gets you 2nd, 34 = 3rd, 33 = 4th, <33 = 5th.  First round only, then by win-loss record.

Tanking is not allowed.  Any accusation of tanking will result in the Commissioner and 5-6 other long-time owners, who are not in the same division, examining the results.  Punishments, to include expulsion from the league, are possible (it has happened!).  Please make sure any removal of good players has a sufficient reason.

NO DH or WW or Cap

Draft order based on record at 120 game mark.  For tie records involving two teams, the leader of the season series gets the better pick.  For ties of three or more, the best series record wins and winning percentage of the series can be used to break ties.  Run differential will be the next discriminator.  Picks will rotate each round.

Four AAA allowed beyond the 25.
