Free Agent Franchise VII - 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.

Pujols and McCutheon are not elligible since they did not play between `1943-1992.

farleyfustle will need to re-pick.

I think everyone else should hold off choosing franchises until this problem is fixed
5/13/2017 12:26 PM
Roger! I'll reselect once he makes his choices
5/13/2017 12:26 PM
Folks - I've asked farley to fix his pick to fit the available seasons or to let me know if he wants to simply remove it. If he elects to remove it or if he does not respond in a timely manner, I will void his pick and we will have to start over. Thanks.

I am going out for awhile so I am going to re-open this to all owners.

Pirates are back on the block!
5/13/2017 1:48 PM
ok very sorry I'll redo it now (unless someone jumps in which is ok)
