Free Agent Franchise IV - FULL Topic

Make your favorite franchise better by stealing some free agents!
  1. When you sign up, select your franchise, choose two players to protect and three players to steal from the team selected prior to yours.
  2. When making your selection you cannot select the same franchise as the one prior to yours and you must declare your protected players and free agent steals immediately. In fairness to all, those 5 named players need to occur upon franchise announcement and CANNOT be changed once the next team has been announced.
  3. The first team in the league will select from the last team selected. The last team selected cannot be the same as the first team.
  4. Each owner will then build their team using only player seasons with their selected franchise, no twisting, and the three selected free agents from their franchise, no twisting. You must roster your 2 protected players and the 3 free agents you selected. You cannot roster the 3 free agents you lost.
Other particulars:
  • $140M cap, standard 24-team format
  • All Seasons Available
  • YES: DH
  • NO: WW, AAA, Trades, Clones, Injuries
  • Live play limited to next series
  • Stadium = Any, does not have to be your team's home park.
  • Alignment = Order of sign-ups
  • Franchise = all iterations of a team as per Baseball-Reference
  • Limit 2 of each franchise
  • An owner can have two teams in the league but must wait until after 12 have been selected to pick another

You gave away enough Pie for the family reunion, I guess you can steal some back.

I'll lineup behind Ozomatli & sorry but, you'll have to do with OUT Lou Gehrig, Joe Dimaggio & Spud Chandler...

I'll take the Reds & protect Vada Pinson & Frank Robinson

Ybjsports, I'm very surprised, indeed, that you didn't get left WANER-less! Earlier this morning I was going to take BOTH of them from you... But, I got sidetracked by work & just got back, to steal/pull from the Yankers
