This is all summerfield. I suggested he run this theme for these years and he gave me his blessing to run it myself as he doesn't have the time....



1949-1978

My vision - create a realistic franchise league with 4 and 5 man rotations, real benches, platoons, trades & player movement, managerial and GM decisions, double switches, etc.....all the good stuff about baseball and WIS.

- 1949-1978, AVG AAA (6/2), Trades & WW allowed (within theme), NO DH, must use stadium used by your franchise during that timeframe

- $85m cap, let every franchise be competitive. Each owner will begin with $85m, which will be raised to $90m once the season starts. That will open up cap room for WW moves and trading. Also, the WW moves will create quality bench players available for trading and player movement.

- Each owner will draft a minimum 1450 IPs and 5500 PAs. Nobody will be able to come in short on stamina and potentially ruin the league.

- Owners are required to draft a quality bench/pen. Only 3 players on your roster can be less than $1.5m. Only 2 of those 3 can be less than $1m, and only 1 less than $500. So the cheapest you could go with your last 3 spots is a $200k player, a $500k player and one at $1m.

- WW within the theme. Only from your franchise from 1949-1978. Once a player is in the league with your franchise, you can't pick up that player on the WW. ie. if I draft the '60 Mazeroski, I can't swap him for the '65 Mazeroski on the WW (even if I waived him earlier).

-50 game live minimum to reach the playoffs

- Owners must use a 4 or 5 man rotation. No starter can start more than 3 more times than their real life starts. I'm asking owners to please try to keep things realistic. Don't reach the start limit for a pitcher and then throw him into the pen for another 5-10 relief appearances.

- This will be a 16 team league to coincide with the timeframe; less teams.

You are the man summerfield.

I will try to fill this as quickly as possible BUT you have to create and commish. Your idea and call it pay back for being stupid and jumping to conclusions about you years ago.

I was CONVINCED all those guys were your alias' and the deals seemed sketchy.

Alas, cool heads (you) prevailed!

Nope, no alias' here. Had my father-in-law Kutch and brother-in-law Minikutch interested for a couple seasons 3 or 4 years ago. Had my buddy Weednerd (not a pothead, works for the Department of Agriculture) playing for a while, but hasn't played in 2 or 3 years. They've all dropped out and me alone.

I can honestly say that I've never made a trade that didn't mutually benefit both teams. Don't think I ever traded with Kutch or minikutch, might have with Weed though......been too long.

I'll take the Dodgers

And you have a better shot at getting George Steinbrenner to take the Yankees than of getting Bilfert back into live. Right Bilfert?
