All Years Progressive full Topic

this progressive started with the most awesome draft ever

24 teams, 25 roster positions, 1st year players only, the entire history of baseball

12,000 players to choose from, 1885 to 2010, David Aardsma to Dutch Zwilling



mainly everyone went for long term studliness, but also there was the lust to win now



now here we are five seasons later and we just lost an owner. it's a hard economy i don't need to tell you



so do history a favor and adopt this orphan

you can keep all the players on your roster, using next season stats, or you can cut any--or even all--of them, replacing them with 1st year players from an 11,000 player list i will email you

understand though, that Cy Young and Babe Ruth ain't on that list no more. They already belong to someone else. Not me. I wish.



Rules:

1. you draft someone, you draft his rookie season

2. you cut someone, he is gone forever from this league

3. provided rules 1 and 2 are followed, you can draft any player from any year

4. you keep someone from last year, you play his next available year. meaning if he skipped a year, you skip on ahead too. no IR/DL like most progressives have

5. you want to draft a guy you have to cut a guy. no keeper list like most progressives have

6. no collusion & no tanking. oh sure, they all say that. here's how we do it: no trades & champ drafts first

7. 24 team open-league style schedule. Alignment random so you don't get stuck behind that Cy Young Babe Ruth team every season

8. no DH, AAA, or WW. no $, PA, IP, position, or stadium restrictions. Like the mad scotch says when they're scotching his nards, Freedom!

9. i will need a real life email address to send you a whitelist / blacklist spreadsheet every season around playoff time

10. just , baby

Hey, I'll take roster 20.
12/25/2011 8:19 AM
done and done

now let's get us a owner for the One True Free Team
1/8/2012 10:22 PM
i'll join bagchuck, i'll throw the roster together and see what or if any cuts I'll need to make.  And to make sure I understand correctly, the team I'm putting together would have:
1934 Gomez
1907 Joss
1973 Messersmith
Etc...?
1/9/2012 8:58 PM
305 / 391 / 495 B-/B-
2.37/ .223/ 1.11
plenty of pa's and ip

How does this team compare to others?

1/9/2012 9:09 PM
