Come one, come all, the Cafe's finest... I need you.

[DK]

My (free) Auction Dynasty, in its first year of existence, went relatively well. For everyone else in the league, anyway.

Let me explain. Some of the Cafe's finest, plus myself and LBJackal , were in a competitive Cafe' league which I commissioned. The year went terribly for me. I had as many as twelve players on the DL at any point in the season, and I ended with a little over 40 points in the Roto league.

Anyway, four of our managers (Mikcou, Swingers, Hayseed and a non-cafe member) were unable to return for next season. So, we have four open spots. I decided to come here first because you guys are the veterans.

Let me explain the dynasty scoring system as well. How it goes is, each year, the total points you get are added up to see who's got the best overall dynasty. We also have a five-round minor league draft (inverse order of standings) to pick out our favorite minor leaguers. (The rules also have more detail, but that I'll get into later.) The rosters are as follows:

The first number is their $$. The second is the years they're signed for.

The reason that some of the rosters aren't filled is that we will be having a free agent auction as soon as the league is full. Some marquee players and undrafted free agent minor leaguers will be up for grabs there.

If you are interested in joining the league, e-mail me at mailto:djkmr2@hotmail.com. BUT - and this is very important - If you do, make sure it is a very short message. I will be away from a computer for a week or so, and will only be able to check my e-mails by cellular phone. I can only view a limited number of characters from it. Make sure it is in text, and that you state:

-Name/Cafe' name
-Team you want to take over
-Brief Cafe/fantasy baseball background

Thanks.

I am interested in Hayseed's team

never done an Auction before but plan to learn for i am doing a slow mock and really wanna join

[DK]

At least one team (and possibly two) have been taken in the Auction Dynasty. We still need a couple more. If you're interested, PM me, I'm back.

UPDATE:

Mikcou's team just opened back up.

If you are interested, PM me and we'll delve into the rules.

All the best,

Wow - Mikou's team seems like the best of the bunch. I'd take it, but I just don't have the time. Good luck filling the team - it shouldn't be hard, with such a cheap outfield and starting staff.
