Back to the Progressive Theme League Classifieds...hat in hand

The WESPL - going into it's 32nd season - one 1977 team available.  The previous owner went MIA leaving this very strong team for the present and the future

Position players include a young duo of Jim Rice and Andre Dawson.  Other solid players include Cecil Cooper, Al Bumbry and Roy Smalley

The starting staff includes several long term keeper pitchers - Charlie Hough, Joe Niekro, Dennis Leonard, and Doyle Alexander

The league rules reward winning - no incentive to tank during the season since losing only worsens a teams potential draft slot 

Rules

This is progressive league playing dual eras. Each season we play 2 years, but we keep those years completely separate by league (except for interleague play). We play each era simultaneously, one in the NL and one in the PL. In effect we are playing two progressive leagues, separated by league boundary. the reason we are playing 2 at once, rather than each individually is, of course, that there are not enough 1923 or 1946 players to fill 24 teams, but there are enough to fill 12 teams.

- drafted players will be owned until they are cut, are traded, or retire 

- stadiums will be owned for the life of the league, unless you appeal for a stadium change.

· each team may carry over as many players as it likes to the following season (standard progressive- For instance, the team who had 1923 babe ruth in 1923, would have 1924 babe ruth in 1924. )

- keeper lists will be due by the 135 game mark. Late keeper lists will have all possible keepers counted against their DPR (see below), and if not submitted by the start of the draft- all possible keepers retained.

- players who miss a WIS season in mid-career can be retained on the DL until their career resumes. for instance, if you draft P y O'doul in 1923, you can retain him until he comes back as an outfielder. (you have to keep him on your active roster any year he has a WIS season)

· after each season have a separate non-snake rookie/free agent drafts to fill out rosters in each league/year. a drafted player will be owned by its drafting team until that player is traded, is cut, or retires.

orookie/free agent draft order: factors involved will be SalaryYr1 (previous year): punished. salaryYr2 (upcoming year, of team's keepers): punished at lesser rate. Wins previous year (after 135gms): rewarded at lesser rate. here is the formula:

Total salaryYr1 at Game 81 (Millions to the tenth x2) + salaryYr2 from posted keepers by Game 135 (Millions to the tenth X1) - Wins at Game 140/2= DPS (draft power score)

the lowest possible salary that can be entered into the formula will be 55m. for instance, if your salary from year 1 (or yr 2) was 39m, 55m would be used in the formula. (there is no advantage to holding a firesale to get below 55m in salary)

Lowest DPS drafts first, highest last

trading draft picks for players or other picks is allowed.

·at no point in any season will a team from one league/year be able to have a player from another year. for instance, a 1923 team will have all 1923 players. there will be no inter-year trading between 1923 and 1946 teams. (trading between teams of the same year will, of course, be legal and encouraged).

·Team names will begin with the current year, followed by the city of your stadium, followed by a nickname of your choice (can be the real name, or a name of your choice.) for instance, if you drafted wrigley field in the 1946 draft, your team name could be: '46 Chicago Cubs, or '46 Chicago River Rats etc. it could not be don's dingers, or tallahassee tigers etc.

·AAA will be set to below-average, so as to provide fatigue relief, but at replacement-player level ability (similar to real life minor leagues).

·The NLCS will be considered the WS of the 23 era, and PLCS will be considered the WS of the 46 era. The LCS winners will be proclaimed "champions" of their respective eras, and the world series will be a time-travel exhibition match for WIS rewards, personal stats, and bragging rights.

·Live play will be legal, although there will never be any sort of requirement to play live. completely up to the owner. SLLive will be allowed for the current series.

·No DH
