THM76876: Your Team(s) Will Appear Below In Team Center Under Live Draft Teams

I would like to Re-Start a League by retiredfart "Play the Hand Dealt" ... Yes I thought this was complicated when I replaced someone for the 3rd Season ... retiredfart is playing with 2 Teams as I am giving him a Team ($12.95 Gift Certificate) to Re-Start .. I will Enter 2 Teams ... It is a Theme League THM with a Live Draft where Players Drafted are Removed --- And Private Forum -- It is a Progressive League and simply continues year by year with the same or different Owners (in this case there would be a new Owner of an already existing Team) -- Or the League could be Re-Started each season with new Draft Picks and Different AAA --- Please Comment Below or Register

$50M 1st Season -- 6 Round Live Draft -- Plus AAA 60 Batters And 20 Pitchers Way Above Average Ability -- Yes Clones in Draft with Different Maddux Years and Yes with Possible AAA as Clones -- NO DH -- Twist For Second Round One AAA Batter And One AAA Pitcher to Any Year -- In Season 2 Owners Automatically Draft 1 Player And May CUT 1 Drafted Player From Round 1 And Draft a 2nd Player ... Note: All Other Players in the 25 Man Roster Must be Replaced with AAA For Game 1

In Season 2 you have an empty Draft Center to be filled ... You keep all 6 Players you Drafted and enter them in the Draft Center unless you want to CUT one of the Batters or Pitchers ... The AAA you used the 1st Season are no more as you will receive again every season more and different AAA ... Except for the 1 Batter and 1 Pitcher you Twist and Keep and enter in your Roster ... Then there is a Draft every season of 1 Player or 2 if you Cut 1 of your 1st Season Draftees

Am going to raise the Draft limit every year a mil so it would be Season 2 Draft pitchers $9M and Batters $8M (See Below Outlined in Yellow)

Notice Below CUTS -- TWISTS -- DRAFT -- SEASON

From the Original Post that I could find ...

I thought that playing the 1st Season with only AAA (especially Pitching) would or might be problematic as there would be only luck involved ... So after fiddling in the Draft Center I chose a Salary CAP of $50M with a 1st Round Draft of 3 Pitchers 1920-2025 Salary Less than $8 Million (This is to Supplement the WAA 60/20 AAA)

Using Stats of IP/162 And Column $/IP we have at the Top with $38,189 ...

Darvish, Yu 2020 Chicago Cubs R 205 8 3 0 2.01 0.96 .210 11.01 38,189 0.37 .219 0.98 1.92 1.56 6.33 $7,828,646 B/C+

And 3 Batters 1885-2025 Salary Less than $7 Million

Using Stats IP/162 And at the Top of RC27 Column ...

1 Joyce, Bill 1894 Washington Senators L 558 17 .355 11,868 14.72 .329 .468 .622 62 $6,622,484 -- -- -- D/C+ -- --
2 Ramirez, Manny 2000 Cleveland Indians R 532 38 .351 12,041 12.86 .343 .446 .670 58 $6,405,914 -- -- -- -- -- B/D-
3 Mantle, Mickey 1962 New York Yankees S 502 30 .321 13,227 12.54 .325 .488 .599 72 $6,640,275 -- -- -- -- -- C+/C+

Do you really want to play the same old / same old?
..........................................Would you rather try something new?
............................ALL the RULES and DETAILS are there, clear and concise.

Have you ever tried a MULTI-SEASON LEAGUE?
.........Where you carry over MLB players from one season to the next adding and trading along the way?
..........This entertaining league will be xx seasons.

Have you ever tried a TWIST League?
.........When you take a AAA player and TWIST him to the BEST SEASON of his MLB career

Have you ever used the LDT?
.........The LDT is short for LIVE DRAFT TOOL, The LDT - eliminates ALL players that have been selected -
..........from the SEARCH TOOL. EXAMPLE: I DRAFT Ruth and if you search for him? = No SUCH PLAYER EXISTS

Have you played ( 2 ) Teams into the SAME LEAGUE?
.........There is an advantage for those that do. (Read on and get 2 teams ready to enter)
..........Advantage with Twists / Drafts BUT ESPECIALLY TRADES [NO VETOES]
..........You MAY trade players BETWEEN your 2 teams

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

How Many MILLIONS do I get for my teams?

Season 1 - $50M and the 60 / 20 WAA AAA
Season - 2 - CAP $
Season - 3 - CAP $
Season - 4 - CAP $
Season - 5 = CAP $
