Title: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/25/05, 03:48:03 PM
Anyone interested in an secondary fantasy league, the ARL, for those of us not as lucky to get into the Official league... ...perhaps one day the Champion from our league can play the champion in the Official League, in something called the Super Series.

Any takers, if we can get six teams, that would be cool, I'm willing to share the running of the league duties.

Post by: fightonusc on 10/25/05, 03:52:42 PM
I know I suggested earlier that perhaps we could have a second league running for people who couldn't get into the main one. Perhaps the bottom two teams in the main league could get "relegated" into the second league, while the top two teams from the second league get "promoted" into the main league.

I'd be happy to provide advice and help get anyone started who wanted to run something like this (always available via PM)
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/25/05, 03:54:33 PM
I'll bear the brunt of the duties if we can get some interest going, and I enjoy the relegation idea... ...I may be PMing you for more info if enough people are interested.

You only are allowed to draft players not taken in the other league. It'll be a Minor League of RBI Baseball

1st pick, Rickey Henderson
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 10:39:26 AM
I'm thinking $100 million payrolls, draft 10 players, with the 1st round pick making 10 mil, 2nd rounder 9 mil and so forth... ...then the rosters are filled in the free agent market for the other $45 mil of your payroll.

Drafted players are signed for 3 seasons... ...free agents 1 year, but original team can always match.

Using a player pool of both the arcade and the console (eventhough the arcade players will be chosen in droves)... ...that gives a large player pool especially with only the 6 teams.

Any thoughts?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 10/26/05, 10:43:11 AM
Sounds good, but can 2 people have the same FA on their team?  How would order of FA's be determined or would it just be bidding?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 11:10:10 AM
Free Agent process:

Team makes a bid, minimum of $100,000, and the player is open for bidding for 24 hours from the original bid, at the end of 24 hours the original team that put the bid in gets a chance to trump the final bid if they still want the guy.

We would have to say you can only three bids at a time or something, with a little tweaking this could be fun.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 11:23:21 AM

I agree sounds pretty good, probably will need to tweak a little, but not sure exactly what I'd change.  Maybe can't bid on 2nd FA until everyone else has bid on 1.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 11:38:43 AM
I like that tweak alot, let's put that one in play.

Do you think $100 mil will be too easy to work with? I mean you are stuck with $55 mil from the 10 picks (which should be interesting, really good players getting paid only 1 mil)... ...then you hav $45 mil to fill out the last 6 spots (or I suppose if you go a different route you could sign more than 16 players, just have some inactives)

Okay, $55 mil assigned to the draft picks.
The next 6 players signed for your team are 1 yr/restricted FA contracts.
Then any additional player beyond your first 16, you will be forced to sign for atleast 2 seasons, therefore making it less attractive to sign a bunch of inactive players because the money is tied up longer than just a year. <-- does that make sense? Maybe cap the rosters at 20 players, 16 active.

7. OctoFranco

Remember pick contracts are as is:

1st Rounder - $10 mil/3 years/RFA
2nd Rounder - $9 mil/3 years/RFA
3rd Rounder - $8 mil/3 years/RFA
and so on...

Must start four IF, three OF and a catcher... ...must have a two man pitching rotation
Title: Re: American RBI League

I just threw those starters out there, that seems right, but you can interject your thoughts before draft starts.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: TβG on 10/26/05, 02:04:01 PM
just my two cents since i'm not even in your league, but if you have a draft pool that large, you may want to conisder doing actual positions.  makes it more of a challenge.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 10/26/05, 02:07:03 PM
I assume 2 starting pitchers and 2 relievers?

Also what about guys who are in both NES and Arcade, could you have NES Canseco and Arcade Canseco on your team?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 02:17:33 PM
Also, would you mind being a bit more detailed about the salary stuff?

OtherRyno is actually Ryno, right?

With that whole free agent bidding thing, how many rounds is that going to make the draft?

Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 02:21:05 PM
Teddy ballgame makes a good point about the position thing, I kind of agree, what do others think?

Two starters, Two relief pitchers... ...and I love the idea of having NES Canseco and Arcade Canseco floating around out there... ...it's a must!

OtherRyno is actually a different Ryno... ...the draft will be 10 rounds... ...then the FA bidding starts, you can make an opening bid on any player, then you must wait until the other six teams get an opening bid in before making your second bid... ...the bid on a player will go for 24 hours, then at the end the original bidder gets the last opportunity to buy the player... ...you must carry 16 players on your active roster, however you can own more as longer as you are under the cap, any player signed beyond the first 16 will require a 2 year unrestricted FA contract.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 10/26/05, 02:27:02 PM
Someone is going to have to figure out positions for the NES and Arcade Reserves (more detailed than the IF/OF/C that we use for the other league) if we are going position specific.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 02:28:07 PM
I think the specific positions make things far too complicated, Jack Clark could technically be both an outfielder and a first baseman for example. I'd prefer the 3 OF, 4 IF, 1 C deal, but obviously it's up to you in the end.

Also, does the salaries for drafted players really matter? Since we're all drafting 10 players we'll start with the same salary on that side, is it for trades and what-not? Otherwise, I see no reason to have salaries for players drafted in a specific round. I really like the idea of just having a 16 round fantasy draft, it's not too confusing and everything should run much smoother and faster than the bidding process.


Those are just my two cents though.

We all need to be under the impression that this isn't going to be smooth as silk, but if developed properly it could end up being a good time.

We could just skip the position specific aspect, will the idea that leaving it the way it is creates a ton more free agent and expansion possibilities.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/26/05, 02:32:06 PM
I suppose the money issue comes down to trading and the idea of the salary cap... ...and to say things like, "I'd like to make a deal with you, but the numbers just don't work out."

It really won't come into play as far as effecting future salary caps until year four when the resigning period begins, that will be interesting, if it ever gets that far... ...trading away guys that you know you won't be able to resign or don't want to try and resign.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 02:39:40 PM
Sounds good. I'm still confused about the free agent bidding though, and worried that it's going to take forever (kinda like how you can't do an auction league draft online), I'd prefer just doing sixteen rounds and assigning a value for each round. Anyone want to post arcade stats/positions? Are we going to scrap the positions altogether or go with the 3OF/4IF/1C?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: TβG on 10/26/05, 02:42:11 PM
as far as the positions per player in arcade, you have to decide what year their stats are from and then just find where they played the most games that year.  the individual positions for nes rbi are in my excel sheet on the other draft thread.

just use baseball-reference.com  it takes time, but it's easy.

Let's just go with 3OF/4IF/1C

If that awkward player bidding thing starts to drag out, we can change it on the fly, but if people but in strong bids for players then others can just reply that they have no interest and if it's signed off by the other players we can move on... ...like if I but in a bid for Paul Molitor at 4 mil/yr, and everyone else has no interest in Molitor at 4 mil/yr then they can say "I'm out" and when everyone else is out, we move on.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 02:58:31 PM
The problem is, we're going to have to do that a total of 42 times (6 free agents per team, 7 teams), not to mention if someone bids really low it's going to take even longer as the bids continue to rise. I like the salary cap (although not in real life), but I'd prefer to just do it as a 136 salary cap (16=1st, 15=2nd, 14=3rd, so on), it'll still make trades complicated, but eliminate the length of free agent signings.

I'll go ahead and get started on Arcade RBI position qualifications, Teddy, mind posting your spreadsheet or positions in this thread?

Okay, you have me convinced to have a straight 16 round draft with 16 mil going to No. 1 and so on... ...then lets make the cap 150 million and allow for 4 additional inactive players, or the ability for teams to add/dump salary via trades going into next year... ...each team can assign 4 players to 4 yr contracts, 4 to 3 yr contracts, 4 to 2 year deals and 4 to 1 yr deals... ...those can be assigned at the end of the draft.. ..undrafted players can only be signed to one year deals via the bidding war senerio.

Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 05:13:09 PM
I know everything.

The Westpark is a GORGEOUS hotel. It has a comedy club called "Wiseacres" inside of it. It used to be my home club (I started there when I was sixteen). On Wednesdays and Thursdays they have "open mic nights" I used to work there about twice a week on those nights (I would run it) when I was about 16 or 17, you leadership kids would always try to sneak in and I'd have an awful lot of fun (along with a few of the comics) kicking your asses out. Anyhow, if you guys meander your way in, and get approached by the head guy, there's an okay chance that it's someone who knows me (probably about 50% since the shows change hands constantly) and you can drop my name, Mark Labozzetta, and probably be allowed to stay in the back and watch the show.

Bear in mind that it's an open mic night and most of the comics will be awfully shitty, but it's not a bad way to kill time.

Also...

I know all

1.  i can choose any player from regular RBI or arcade RBI?
2.  when do i assign a contract length to my guys?  once i pick them or when my team is complete?
3.  3 OF/4 IF/1 catcher, and what 4 subs...and 4 pitchers?
4.  after our teams play, where do i view the box score or whatever?  how do i know what my guys are doing?
5.  Does the winner of the league get to have a lemon party or something?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/26/05, 08:06:00 PM
You should go ahead and pick Bob Boone right now.

Don't worry about the contracts now, that'll be dealt with after the draft. The best way to explain it is, players picked in the 1st round are worth 16M, second 15M all the way down, the way I see it is this, it insures that there are no completely lopsided trades in the league, which is good for keeping the league competitive.

Any 4 subs, 2 SP, 2 RP

The top two players (myself and ultimate) get moved up to Fighton's league, and I believe his bottom two (Ryno and McLane) get relegated to our league.

Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/27/05, 10:33:06 AM
Honestly, do we know if he's actually aware that he's included? He was on a bit last night and didn't post anywhere on the RBI Board.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/27/05, 10:37:08 AM
I'm not sure, the IM to Ryno may shed light on the subject but probably not... ...is there a way we can call him?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/27/05, 10:37:31 AM
If it takes too long, can we just give him Maris or Kingman and move on? We don't want to screw him out of a team, but we also don't want it to take all night to get through the first round, and I think we can all agree that Maris or Kingman or someone similar is up next.

Also, PMed Bastardo my proxy picks and such, hopefully I can at least make one pick before I leave.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 10/27/05, 10:38:45 AM
We can wait to see what Ryno says about it, Ryno can probably draft for him.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/27/05, 10:40:34 AM
Ryno hasn't responded yet, but I'm sure he will soon, I don't want to screw him out of a team either.

OctoFranco will be drafting for himself and he'll be pretty prompt.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 10/27/05, 10:56:00 AM
Sounds good, how long should I wait to hear back from a Bonny rep? We can draft him a team either way, just give him a generally solid pick each time.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 10/27/05, 10:58:59 AM
If we pick for Bonny now, me you and Ult will roll through the next three, but then we'll be stuck on Octo for about an hour, and does Nomaa ever post during the day?

I say we give Ryno some time to either get ahold of him or make a pick for him.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 10/27/05, 10:59:49 AM
Yeah, esp since the draft wasn't supposed to start until noon.  I'd expect Ryno will be around before 12:30.
Title: Re: American RBI League

I say we give Bonny the next best catcher in Joe Torre, another option is Reggie Jackson (Arcade)

TBT won't be back until around 7(EST) but we've got his proxy picks if otherryno picks before hand.

It sucks drafting an entire team for someone, I'd rather have someone working with Bonny to make his picks (uninvolved with the league)

This whole thing is Ryno's fault for getting Bonny into the league in the first place.

nah carter is probably 2nd or so power wise for catchers, cant go wrong there at all.  i didnt do a ton of research on the arcade catchers so im prolly missing someone.

It should be noted, Orlando Cepeda is an IF, Joe Niekro and Cy Young are both relief pitchers (bottom 2).  Very interesting that Azz has gone with RPs his last 2 picks.

Also, Frank Robinson is an OF.

It's conveluded, but overly not that complicated.

$150 mil salary cap.
Players in the draft assigned salaries based on the round they were drafted in $16 mil to 1$.
20 player roster cap.
Each player can be signed for up to 4 years, but only 4 drafted players can have the same length of contract ie. 4 players sign for 4 years, 4 players sign for 3 years and so on.

OK, this isn't right, we need to let Bonny use Kingman as an IF (which is actually how he is listed by Bastardo, I think, but not in Azz's list or let Bonny change the Baylor pick to an IF.  I vote we let Kingman be an IF since I think that is what we were all thinking when we picked Baylor for him.

Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 11/02/05, 09:32:01 AM
I listed Kingman as an infielder because he played more career games as an infielder, is that how we should do it?  It's close but he played about 100 games more at 1st+3rd than he did in the Outfield and he DH'd alot meaning he wasn't exactly in good enough shape to roam the outfield... ...Either was we won't screw Bonny on this.

And I thought Attezz was joking, but due to the seemingly serious responses by others, I should point out that Tony Perez has already been drafted by Ultimate back in the 5th round.  Hence his being the only naysayer.

Nomaaa didn't proxy any picks, he needed a pitcher and an infielder so I gave him a couple that I thought he might like to have and that are pretty good... ...we should certainly rotate who is making these random picks, but I thought I would move the draft along with those... ...hope everyone agrees they are fair.

Okay, Attezzobal is up, I'm not sure if his proxy picks are still what he actually wants so let's give him a bit of time to check in...


We'll get through this draft, I promise. ;)

It has been moving fairly well

at this point, since it's friday, we may even want to hold up the draft until nomaa gets back on Monday.

one question...
in his later years, yaz played a lot of first base, almost all of his time was there or dh. can i use yaz as an inflielder?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 11/07/05, 03:23:56 PM
I'd say you can change your pick, but Yaz is clearly an OF for the RedSox arcade because Foxx is the 1B.

So I'd say no.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 11/07/05, 03:35:26 PM
Yeah Nomaaa, I'm not sure, Yaz is an OF in my mind, I'd make another pick if you want to switch him out... ...what do others think?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 11/07/05, 03:38:54 PM
I think the exception was made for Bonny because those picks were made for him, and we listed Kingman as an IF from the start of the draft in error causing him to get screwed up.  Yaz on the other hand is clearly listed as an OF on the site, and Nomaa picked him, so it was his fault, and really not too many IFs have gone off the board since.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Bonny on 11/07/05, 03:58:48 PM
I say Yaz can go either way.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: nomaaa on 11/07/05, 04:17:12 PM
don't worry too much about it, if i can't use him as an infielder, i'll draft one next round. i was just asking a simple question. if yes, cool. if no, no biggie. like before, this isn't that big of a deal.
Title: Re: American RBI League

Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: OctoFranco on 11/08/05, 11:03:09 AM
Sutter is also mislabeled as a SP in the text file...

And while I'm here, a quick question that has probably already been answered somewhere:  Do we have to have four infielders in our starting line-up, or just somewhere on the roster (be it bench or starter)?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: ultimate7 on 11/08/05, 11:13:59 AM
4 IF in your starting lineup, I thought

Another question, this is a 16 round draft right?  Are we still doing FAs afterward to have extra on the roster?  If so does that mean I can draft 3 SP, and then add a bench player through FA, or do we have to draft 2 SP and 2 RP + 12 batters?
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Guido13 on 11/08/05, 12:17:29 PM
Sutter will be changed to RP in next update...

OtherRyno switched his pick to Lew Burdette, Arcade, RP


I suppose if you want to draft three starters that is fine and just fill your bench void with a FA, however the active pitchers can only included 2 starters at a time.

We are doing the FA thing up to a $150 mil payroll per season... ...which is a set amount available per team because of the draft this season but should shake out differently once original contracts start to expire next season.
Title: Re: American RBI League
Post by: Attezzobal on 11/08/05, 12:43:39 PM
Lew Burdette was a spitballer, I say we ban him from our league (Joe Niekro on the other hand, he's a valued member of my team and we scoff at any allegations)

when i saw this i thought he could be a real good pick up for salary cap reasons way down the line.  especially at the IF position.  his contact is kinda shitty, but 900 power for some peanuts salary wise is a decent late round pick up.
