go to the beach bro!

.

im still mulling over the logistics of a draft. anyone have any better ideas than what ive laid out so far?

also im glad pecota stopped being a beyotch and got in. he doesnt play cards so he can't just say "oh it's just half a buy-in" haha

most of my friends are playin day1b and i think were gonna go in like a half hour!

and i didnt mean right now i just meant sometime soon

I couldn't pass up the chance to see how yanks fans assemble a team when they have an actual payroll ceiling to work with.

hahaha

I think i'd prefer 12 teams, but w/ 40(?) man rosters maybe not.

how are we working the draft? Set a salary cap and have an auction? Just a normal draft w/ salary values attached to rounds?

we could have the buyin for the league be your teams salary, i.e. $100MM Cap, if you spend 70MM you pay $70. I think this is how the 2+2NBA dynasty runs. is that workable for baseball? that sounds kinda cool. we could tweak is so that the average person is in $100 to keep the dollar amounts the same.

Have we decided on a site? do sites even have leagues starting yet? i looked on espn but didn't see anything for 2010.

i'm pretty pumped for this.

Thay3r says he wants to be in

Just do a straight up draft w/o salaries imo, with like 25 man active, plus 35-40man roster for minors/bench etc.

Dont really care about amount of teams, id would be freakin awesome if we could have 15-20 teams, since extra rosters for minors players, it could work.

I have no clue what site/league supports this though...

And the rosters just completely carry over from year to year? i think we need some sort of structure like contracts expiring/changing salaries or a draft or something each year. otherwise the only players moving teams would be trades and i guess waiver wire pickups. that could seriously screw over the bottom of the barrel teams w/ rebuilding. the mlb draft doesn't really work because none of those players should make our 40 mans, and it's right in the middle of the season.

Welcome to the life of 29 other teams in the majors that aren't the Yankees lol

But, i'm not certain if salary would be better or worse for this.

Just dont rush the draft, until we have the best quality type of league settings.

Push it back a week or two if need be until we can find best settings.

ray im not sure how good the salary thing would work (granted i cant say i totally understand)

thayer says im an idiot and you are right- see his n2 league for salary rules and such

yea the n2 league is where i got the idea. i dont know really how well it would work, but we need some sort of way to churn the rosters up.

tell thayer to copy/paste the league set-up from N2 in here, and we can see if we can tweak it to work for baseball.

edit: not necessarily for that salary cap/real $ idea, but for churning up rosters/allowing teams to rebuild/keeping things competitive.

I was on the list above and got a PM from Karak or whatever, and I'm fine with any type of league and any reasonable (under $150 or so) buy-in. However, I have little to no poker money these days b/c I'm not playing online anymore and I'd need to write a check/money order to the commish. If that's an issue, just x me out and give yourselves a chance to win the league.

Im still in if no one wants to co own I'll own my own

You break my heart karak...

If someone drops/leaves and need extra pm meh..

Where we at with this? I got some free time in front of the computer to look into set ups if needed.

yeah whats the word, almighty karak567?

uhhh ****

im not really sure what the next step to take is

pecota help me

and another_rack yeah any research would be appreciated

Oh sure, wait until I actually have work to do to ask me for help.

Basically we have to discuss what the setup is going to be and come to a consensus on it. I'll throw up a list of stuff that's been decided/tbd tonight (hopefully), but it's up to the other owners to move the discussion. I'll try and come up with a general proposal from what's been said and some format stuff, plus whatever format research another_rack comes back with.

Actually, first thing we need to do is confirm who is participating. 12 teams, $100 buy-in, here's who is confirmed as in:

Karak8675309486759384379937573202

There are only two spots left as it stands right now. CO-OWNERS, please get your bidness sorted out asap and post any necessary changes to the list (and don't feel obligated to go solo just to fill out a spot, we may have a surplus of interest at the moment). If you're not on this list, but want to be, please add your name to the list and re-post it.

gogogogogogo

Thay3r definitely wants one of the last 2 spots

also he said he'd post the N2 rules @ some point bc he think they'd work well for this

i think it's only right that GREEAR takes the last spot

trying to get my work done this afternoon so i can work on this tonight
