Looking for active owners that enjoy talking baseball year-round for a new league I am in the process of forming. A knowledge of "prospects" is suggested to continue to be competitve yearly. The rules are still in progress, but you can see the overall direction we are going in with what is posted below. I am accepting claims on MLB Clubs as of now so if you are interested send me an email to jim-pratt@hotmail.com.
TEAMS STILL AVAILABLE:
NL Central -- Astros
LEAGUE: We will use both AL and NL teams, but with the principles of AL-Only and NL-Only leagues. There will be no start-up draft. Instead each owner will take over an MLB Franchise. Each owner will begin with the MLB roster of their specific team including up to 30 prospects (15 min./30 max) of their choice from that teams MiLB organization. This will be a daily H2H league using Roto CATS.
SITE/COST: Ownership Fee is $50.00. A portion of that cost will go to pay for the Baseball Commissioner on CBS Sportsline, which is usually about $150.00; the rest will go into the Money Pool.
SCORING CATS: Our scoring will be Roto H2H 6x6 using these CATS -- Offensive - AVG, OPS, SB, Runs, RBI, HR / Pitching - ERA, WHIP, K's, Saves, QS, Holds
PLAYOFFS: The Playoffs will consist of 4 NL and 4 AL teams. (Each leagues Division winners and 1 Wildcard team.) Playoff games will be a 2 week extended version of a normal weekly H2H match-up. The team with the most total points after 2 weeks will move on to the next round. Although the playoffs will be 2 weeks long, but considered a 1 game match-up, teams 5 SP’s may be changed at the start of each week (Mondays).
Weeks 20-21: Division Winner #1 vs. Wildcard Team ; Division Winner #2 vs. Division Winner #3
Weeks 22-23: NLCS Series ; ALCS Series
Weeks 24-25: World Series -- NL Champion vs. AL Champion
We will have an MLB Draft, FA Draft for players switching league during the offseason and International signings.
