IF ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS GETS INJURED YOU MAY PLACE HIM ON THE DL LIST (BE ADVISED HIS SALARY STAYS WITH HIM)
IF YOU WANT TO DROP A PLAYER AS THEY DO IN THE MLB YOU WILL PAY A PENALTY OF 10% OF SAID PLAYERS SALARY FOR EVERY PLAYER DROPPED FOR THE YEAR, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT YEAR THE PENALTY WILL BE ERASED.
ALL PLAYERS ON DL MUST BE REACTIVATED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF MLB TEAM ACTIVATION.
YOU MAY HAVE A 50 MAN MINORS ROSTER THAT WILL COST YOU $5 MIL, BUT YOU CAN NOT GO OVER THE 50 MAN LIMIT.
.YOU WILL HAVE 3 DRAFT CHOICES FOR THE ROOKIE DRAFT THAT WILL BE HELD AFTER JULY 2 AT A TIME TO BE SET THIS WILL INCLUDE COLLEGE AND INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS.
FREE AGENTS: PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AS THIS WILL BE HOW THE FREE AGENCY PERIOD WILL WORK. BASED OFF OF LAST YEARS WIN/LOSS RECORD THE WORST TEAM HAS A 24 HOUR PERIOD TO PICK A FREE AGENT (NO BIDDING) YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY AS YOUR ROSTER/CAP ALLOW, THIS IN MY OPINION WILL GIVE US PARITY. THE PROCESS WILL CONTINUE TILL THE FREE AGENTS ARE GONE OR NO ONE WANTS ANYMORE OF THEM.
1ST CHOICE CHICACO WHITE SOX
2ND CHOICE ATLANTA BRAVES
3RD CHOICE CHICAGO CUBS
4TH CHOICE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
5TH CHOICE NEW YORK METS

18TH CHOICE CLEVELAND INDIANS
19TH CHOICE LOS ANGELES DODGERS
20TH CHOICE BOSTON RED SOX
THESE ARE THE SAME FOR THE DRAFT ROOKIES AND INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS.
THE FREE AGENCY DRAFT CHOICES ARE NOT TRADEABLE; THE ROOKIE & INTERNATIONAL DRAFT CHOICES ARE TRADEABLE.
NOW I KNOW IT’S AN IMPOSSIBLE JOB TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE DAILY TRANSACTIONS SO HELP IS A MUST. IF WE DO NOT PULL TOGETHER AS A TEAM WE WILL FAIL. I ALSO THINK 20 TEAMS IN MORE THAN ENOUGH TO MANAGE PLUS ESPN HAS NEVER GONE TO MORE THAN THAT IN A LEAGUE. IF YOU WANT MORE THAN 20 TEAMS THEN I AM NOT VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL SUCCEED. THIS IS JUST A THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF THINGS SO FEEL FREE TO ADD/DELETE CHANGE WHATEVER TO WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO WRITE.
THANKS
