Im in. mets

Thanks for joining! The franchises will be drafted so I can't guarantee you will get the Mets but you will have a shot to draft them.

Am I right in my understanding that we will draft our franchise? I note an owner above wants in but said Mets....I don't think that is how it works but wanted to be sure.

Your understanding is correct. There will be a random draw for draft order of the franchises. The franchises as listed show the order of the player draft.

I had another idea, and while I know adding/changing rules after getting majority of owners can be tough/tricky, I thought I'd share. Im also not self-centered enough to think that the league should change in order to get me to play, butas someone who's played in and ran a lot of progressives, I do believe this would give a better short and long term experience:

What if when drafting teams, each owner then gets to protect/keep just 5 players. The rest of the team would then go into the player draft with all the players from the defunct franchises and the rookies.

This will still allow the top tier teams (reds, Mets, Orioles, etc) to have very good teams, but would also give other teams with a good core the opportunity to not start as far back and would imo add more incentive to to teams who will draft higher as you would see more talent in the draft pool.

Would give a much more balanced team off the start, and would still give you an element of RL with the 5 biggest names staying with that team.

Just thought I'd share!

As always I appreciate your thoughts. However, I am not willing to endorse this sort of change when 16 players are on board with the vision for the league that is already in place. At the same time I will say that I do not believe the idea for the league cannot be improved upon over time. I will always welcome feedback and proposals intended to make the league a better league.

I'm in!

Quick Question

We can cut rookies before the 5 years are up, correct?
