Official Fantasy RBI Baseball League III Pre-Draft Thread

fighton...what are the time limits for picks, etc.  Hopefully rules can be set up so we don't repeat the 80's Babe draft debacle.

You don't have to worry about that.  The fantasy draft ran a little slow last time but we had 2 people drafting that weren't around enough, this time it'll be smooth.

i'm confused about the format for the teams, i need the final word, fighton:

1.  do we have any keepers?  (if we don't, i'm crackin skulls)

2.  what is the format for the teams (each position, or IF/OF only)? 

start the draft thread so we can get this going maybe this afternoon.

Read the thread, no keepers, IF/OF, draft starts tomorrow but you have the first pick, so I guess you could informally start it but negotiating a deal with whoever you plan to draft and then leak it to the press.

i, asked, fighton, not, you, ultimate, you, and, your, green, skinned, players!

i understand where he's leaning with the rules, but i wanted a final word before i picked and so i can get my draft ready.

Racist, my players were white

[ultimate7]

So, I'm going to say that we start fresh, with no held over players. However, we'll base the draft order to reward the teams that finished higher in the playoffs/regular season last year and make the new players draft last. So you'll get to draft first and take hJorge Bell, Teddy.

Final rules:

- No keepers (everyone is back into the draft pool)
- IF/OF/C player designations: your team MUST have at least four IFs, and three OFs and a C in the starting line-up
- Because we have 10 teams, that means NO FREE AGENTS. The only way to change your team around is to conduct a trade with  another team
- The 10 teams will be divided into two, five-team Leagues (tentatively called the Gantry League and the Doverbi League). Each team will play 13 regular season games - two games (one home, one away) against their League opponents and one game against each of the five teams from the other League. (There will be an All-Star game midseason between the two leagues.) The top two teams from each League will play in a Best-of-5 LCS, with the winners advancing onto a Best-of-7 World Series.

Oh, yeah, players...get me your team names and uniform/skin color preferences at some point. I'll assume that returning teams will remain the same unless I hear otherwise.

New Team Added to Fantasy RBI Baseball League
The Hip Young Popes will begin play in 2005 Fall Season

(Dee-Nee, Internet)-- Richard Manfredi, YESquire, president of the Fantasy RBI Baseball League, has announced the formation of a new team for this fall's upcoming season.

"Due to the mysterios disappearance of a few of last season's team owners, I have selected oil baron Gerlost Rogozhkin to form a brand new team so that play may continue uninterrupted," said Manfredi, to which the audience of reporters and compensated endorsers erupted in applause.

Rogozhkin is the founder of Sovietronica supergroup The Cagey Bees as well as the richest guy in the world.

"Gerlost has informed me that his team will be called The Hip Young Popes," Manfredi continued.  "Their uniforms will be black with dark gray caps, just like the Real Pope™."

The Real Pope™ was unavailable for comment.

"I have every confidence that Gerlost will be able to form a high quality team to compete with the existing powerhouses in the league," Manfredi added.  "His vast knowledge and prompt under-the-table bribes have me convinced of his skill as a manager and a GM."

On hearing the news, Rogozhkin commented.

"No comment," said Rogozhkin.  "Although I'd just like to say that I will crush the opposition with such force, Kevin McReynolds will wake up with a severe headache."

The Fantasy RBI Baseball League is a non-profit organization trying to make a profit and is traded publicly on the Dee-Nee Stock Exchange under the symbol FANRBI.  Founded in 2004, the league's corporate headquarters is a stack of papers on Richard Manfredi's desk in southern California.
