If you'ld like to play through and experience the MLB heroes of yesteryear The Alexander Cartwright Progressive League is the place for you.
We are entering the 1910 season. Our 25th. We have a very strong core of owners but "life" has gotten in the way of our Current Red Sox owner. His team is in first place and should be strong for several seasons with Pitchers like Addie Joss, Cy Morgan and Doc White. Hitters like Harry Hooper, Zack Wheat and Larry Doyle are featured. (see next season's roster below....of course it needs cuts as it currently feature 26 players).
The league has two drafts (ready to be started within 10 days) one for each 8 team league, no interleague play, playoffs and W.S. effecting draft position (see the rest of the league rules on the bottom of the page.
Please consider this league. Contact me with interest or questions. We are a group who believes Progressives are meant to progress and are committed to moving from one season to the next quickly.

General Rules:
Please be an active owner!
ROSTERS:
1. At its outset the AJCPL will have two leagues featuring all players available in both leagues....ie two Ruth's, Cobbs, Youngs, Otts....etc.
a. This rule will be reconsidered when there are enough players available in the WIS database to supply all 16 teams with 25 players.
2. AAA players will be available featuring Below Average C, 1b, 2b, 3b, SS, OF and 2 Pitchers.
a. These players will be generated with ficticious names.
b. These players can be traded.
c. will be adjusted to 2 pitchers and 2 fielders in 1910
3. There is no Waiver Wire.
4. Salary Cap: 160 MILLION** (FORMERLY "There is none." **note CHANGED IN 1907 WHEN ENOUOGH PLAYERS GENERATED TO COMPILE DEEP TEAMS)
5. No DH
6. Injuries on
7. Era specific stadiums tied to franchises/teams.
KEEPERS:
1. There is no limit to keepers. An owner may opt to keep all 25.
2. Any player with WIS stats for that season must be kept or released.
3. IR players have no limit but are governed by above rule (see 2).
4. Listing Keepers, and final verification of that list compared to draft's Available Players, is the responsibility of the team's owner.
5. SNOOZE YOU LOOSE RULE:
a. In the event that a player is omitted from your keeper list and the draft starts that player cannot be added to your keeper list.
b. In the event that the commissioner does not correctly remove players from available players list, and an owner discovers the omission, that player can be reclaimed at any time unless drafted by another team.
c. OWNERS MUST DOUBLE CHECK THE COMMISSIONER'S WORK TO HELP THE DRAFT MOVE SMOOTHLY AND AVOID UPSET OWNERS.
DRAFTS:
1. Drafts will be held at the end of each season.
2. Reverse order of finish determines draft position except the division winners pick in last two slots with WS participants picking last.
3. Progressives are meant to progress so we will always endeavor to keep the timed portion of drafts starting as quickly as possible after W.S. teams have been determined.
4. Draft picks are owned by a team and can be traded at any time up until that rounds slot has passed.
5. In the event of a tie:
a. Head to Head competition is first tie breaker.
b. if Head to Head is even then the previous season's team who had the better selection would pick in the lower slot (larger number) in the current draft.
6. NO TEAM CAN have the 1st overall selection more than two consecutive drafts.
7. Drafting owners are responsible to check back to last "UPDATE" to ensure player they select is still available.
8. Proxies are encouraged...both through other owners or self/open proxies.
9. Obviously, no rule can make an owner site mail the next two or three up in a draft but we want our quality owners to do quality things. Please site mail.
COMPETIVE BALANCE RULE:
1. Missed first round picks will be made by the commissioner after the 1st and within the last hour prior to the 2nd round.
a. this pick will be decided entirely upon who the commissioner has rated the highest of all players remaining.
b. There will be at least 12 hours scheduled between the 1st and 2nd rounds.
TRADES:
1. Trades are encouraged.
a. Players and picks can be traded.
2. Trades cannot be made more than 3 seasons in advance.
3. All trades are subject to league approval requiring 6 vetoes to override proposed trades.
4. There will be no interleague trading
a. thus there will be no clones.
5. Some trades are not always in the best interest of the league, your division, or your team. It is okay to use your veto. All owners are encouraged to develop a veto philosophy and stay with it. Some may never veto, some may always veto, some may veto only in their own division and some veto any time the difference in cash exceeds a certain amount. Any philosopy is okay. Just try to be objective and look at each trade with an eye towards: first how it effects your team, second your league's season, and third the good of the league in general.
