Need 1 for 1967 Giants Mays, McCovey, Marichal Topic

The 1967 Icon Progressive, which began back in 1946, is looking for a new owner for the San Francisco Giants. We are a 16-team 4/4 divisional league. The Giants are in the playoffs in the 1966 season and will be a contender for quite some time.

The basis of the league is that players may only play for a franchise for which he played in real life. We just expanded in the 1966 season to go from a 12 to a 16 team league.

Active Franchises:

NL: Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants

AL: Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Athletics, Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees

Basic Rules:

Salary Cap - None

AAA - 12/6 Below Average (Any Career Keeper/Team Icon with fewer than 60 IP/ 150 ABs may be placed in AAA or on the MLB roster to start the season).

DH – None

Trades - Allowed and almost needed. Teams can only trade for eligible players though. Draft picks may be traded 2 years in advance. Players to be named later (future random AAA players) may also be traded.

IR - Unlimited. Restricted to any player without a WIS season, or any CK/TI that did not play for your franchise at all during that season (at owner’s discretion).

WW - No

Keepers - Unlimited. Any players who were assigned to your roster as career keepers, team icons etc. must be kept for the duration of their career.

Subsequent Seasons Draft Order - Will be determined at the transaction deadline (120 games). 40 wins are needed to qualify for a top 3 pick. Teams that do not reach 40 wins will be slotted from the 4th spot on by most wins. The rest of the draft (including top 3 picks) is inverse order of record. The first pick in rounds 2-4 belongs to the team with the fewest wins and continues in inverse order.

Team Names and Stadiums - Same as real life. If your team changes names or moves parks, then you must do the same.

Specific League Rules:

Keeper Rules - All players that fall in to the 3 keeper categories below will be forced on their respected franchise. They can not be traded or cut.

CAREER KEEPERS - Any player who has played his entire career for one team (or entire WiS career) will belong to that team. If a player has played for several teams but has only racked up 50 AB or 25 IP for one team he will also belong to the team for which he played the bulk of his career. So if Player A plays four full seasons for the Dodgers, then goes to the Cubs where he only nets 30 ABs and is traded to the Mets where he gets another 30 he will be still be considered a Dodgers Career Keeper.

TEAM ICONS - Any player whose first ten or more eligible WIS seasons are with the same team, and who has had no more than 3 WIS seasons with other teams (including defunct teams) will be designated a Team Icon and belong to the team whom he played 10 years for.

-Any player who racked up more than 25 IP/50 AB with a single active franchise, regardless of seasons with a defunct franchise (Pirates, Cubs, Mets, Colt 45s, Athletics, Twins, Senators, Angels) will be the property of the active franchise. Any player failing to get 25IP or 50AB with any active francise will be defunct and not in our league.

- If a player is traded during his 10th season he will still qualify and that season will not be used against his 3.

- If a player is traded during his first WIS season but has compiled say 30 ABs for Team A and 30 for Team B, teams can use this season to count towards the 10.

- If a player plays 11 seasons for team A, then for the next 4 seasons picked up 30 ABs for 2 different teams each season (so 60 total each year), he will not be eligible.

- Any players being kept this way is allowed to be put on IR any season he did not play for your franchise.

- Any Team Icon being may be placed on IR any season he did not play for your franchise.

- Any player who played every game for an expansion/defunct team or has fewer than 25 IP/50 AB with a single active franchise will not be eligible to be drafted by any team.

------

*Every other player who does not fall in to one of these rules will be eligible to be drafted by any team he appeared in 1 game for (any team that shows up on his B-R page at the time of the draft).

The Giants ended the 1966 Regular Season with the best record in the NL but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS. They will be the favorite to repeat as NL West Champions in 1967.

If you'd prefer one of the defunct NL Franchises (Cubs or Pirates) or you'd like to take the Expos or Padres a few years early we have plans in place to accommodate moving franchises and you can move starting in 1968.
