Draft (9) franchise legacy "positions" and (1) Wildcard player. You must draft franchise ballpark/s, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, Starting Pitchers, Relievers, and a WIldcard player. You will have exclusive rights over these players and franchise ballpark/s, except for any stolen WIldcard players.

Your bench may be made up of anyone who qualifies (according to WIS) at a legacy position you have drafted. For example in the sample roster listed below, any Catcher that appears on Team "A"s (5) teams must qualify as a Reds Catcher.

For purposes of this league a starting pitcher will be defined as any pitcher with a minimum of 150 IP or greater and a reliever will be defined as any pitcher with a maximum of 149 IP or less.

The rules are as follows:

• (1) season at a time starting with the highest cap and ending with lowest cap.
• (16) teams (open to more teams pending interest levels)
• (5) leagues/5 caps: $120m, $110m, $100m, $90m, and $80m
• (10) round snake draft (order determined at random)
• Divisions chosen at random
• No DH, AAA, Waiver wire, trades, injuries, repeat players(Wildcard excluded)/seasons, twisted seasons, or clones
• If a player has played multiple positions with multiple franchises, and you select both franchise positions he qualifies for, you may use that player at each of the positions he qualifies for, but not in the same season. For example, using Babe Ruth as a Yankees OF and a Red Sox SP is allowed in separate seasons. *However, for example, using Jimmie Foxx at Catcher and 1B for the A's in separate seasons is not allowed (unless chosen as Wildcard).
• Other than your wildcard player, you may only use (1) instance of each player across all five leagues. For example, if you drafted Yankees outfielders, you could only use Babe Ruth once, therefore not in any more than (1) season.
• There is one exception to this rule (the Wildcard player ), who you may "steal" from another owner anytime after Round 1 is complete. However, after each round you will get to protect one player from your legacy players pool to prevent him from being selected as a Wildcard. The Wildcard player must appear on each of your 5 teams. Once an owner has lost a player in a single round that owner can no longer be raided in that particular round. Ballparks cannot be raided. When selecting your wildcard player, please specify the franchise you are selecting the wildcard player from: e.g. Babe Ruth - Yankees.
• The Lou Boudreau question - if a player qualifies at multiple positions you may choose to play him wherever you would like. You may only add him to your roster as long as he has a WIS fielding grade at the position you have drafted. E.G. If you draft Indians Catchers, you could add '48 Lou Boudreau to one of your teams and play him at SS. Flexibility is your friend. Remember that he may only be used once.
• Protect one player after each round is complete. Submit via site mail. Wildcard players may not be stolen until at least following round after being drafted. This will give owners fair chance to protect a player of their choosing.
• You must use 5 separate seasons of your Wildcard player. You cannot repeat seasons in different leagues. For example, if you use '27 Ruth in Season 1, you may not use him again in Seasons 2-5.
• Wildcard player cannot be selected until Round 2 and may be selected before his respective legacy position is selected. For example, you could draft Ted Williams in the 2nd round before the Red Sox OF are selected.
• Franchise ballparks may appear more than once during the 5 seasons

For purposes of this league, only Active franchises will be recognized:
***Teams who have played in multiple cities under multiple names are eligible e.g. Baltimore Orioles also played as St Louis Browns. Therefore if you draft Orioles OF you could use any OF who played for the Browns as well.***

The overall winner of the five leagues will be determined as follows:

1 point for each of your five teams' regular season wins
5 points for each of your teams that makes the playoffs
5 additional points for winning a playoff series (not including World Series)
10 additional points for winning a World Series

Tie Breakers: 1) World Series Titles, 2) Most Playoff Teams, 3) Most total regular season wins, and after the preceding tie-breaker the prize will be split.

Optional side bet: If you would like, you may purchase an additional $10 gift certificate for a prize pool. You need not buy the gift certificate, but if you do, you will be eligible to win an additional prize(s). Instructions to follow.

I'll start with White Sox SP

Dodgers SP

Thanks to the first two teams for getting us off to a quick start.

A few friendly reminders:

1) Please remember to notify the next 2-3 teams that they are up next once you have made your selection.

2) Draft with depth in mind. For example, your SP is going to have to produce between 20-25 different starting pitchers across the 5 leagues.

3) Please submit your protected player as soon as you are ready to do so, in order that we may get the next round started asap.

Do I understand the "steal" correctly? If another player chooses one of my unprotected players, they get to use him 5 times, and I can't use them at all?

That is correct.

I have a couple of different questions about the steal...

Let's say Team A drafts A's OF, Team B drafts Yankees OF, and Team C drafts Padres OF. Team D steals "Ricky Henderson - A's."

1) I get that the Team A (A's OF) can't use Ricky, But what about Team B (Yankees OF) or Team C (Padres OF)?

2) And can Team D use any Ricky Henderson seasons, or are they limited to the seasons in which he played for the A's?

Sorry if I'm making things more complicated than they have to be.

Good questions. They are clarified in the rules but I will answer them here for you.

1) When you steal a player you must indicate the player and franchise from which you will be using him and you will be limited to that franchise's version of Rickey Henderson.

2) If Rickey Henderson - A's were stolen by Team D then Team B who drafted the Yankees OF could use '85 Ricky without a conflict, etc.

Good questions from schwarze:

Q: I don't see a years restriction. So I assume for NL teams, we can select players from the pre 1900's franchise.

I.e., Silver King is part of the St. Louis Cardinals franchise.

Correct?

A: That is correct. As long as you can trace the player to a current active franchise as per baseball-reference you may use him. Silver King played for the original Browns who were a precursor to the present day Cardinals so he would qualify.

Q: I see the draft is 10 rounds...

so that means
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, SP, RP & Wildcard take up 9 of the 10 drafting slots.

Can the 10th selection be any position?

A: Ballpark is the 10th. So if you pick Cardinals ballparks you could choose from Busch I, II, Robison, and Sportsman Park. They will be exclusive to your team for the 5 seasons.
