Hey guys,
I've always wanted to have a dynasty baseball league, set up similar to how the actual teams are run.
Here is the way I plan on having it setup.
Dynasty rules. You can keep whoever you want on your team for as long as you want. Dealing with a salary cap and rules is more confusing than it needs to be. If you take Mike Trout with your first pick, he's yours until he retires or you are willing to drop him. Each year, we will "re-draft" based on the reverse order of the standings from the previous year, and you will draft to your open spots. The idea here is to get some investment into the players to enjoy it a little more. Teams in last place might have some incentive to start picking up young players in the hope that they turn into something for next year, and trades can be made with "this year" and "future" taken into consideration. I'm not necessarily against instituting a couple rules to try and even out the playing field in case one team gets to be too strong. (something like : you can keep 25 players, but each year you keep someone, he counts as one extra person. - so if you kept Mike Trout after year 2, he now counts as 2, .... so on and so on.)
- Scoring- 11 categories, winner of more categories gets the "head to head" win for the week.
- Playoffs at the end of the year - top 6 teams
Roster -
C
1B
2B
3B
SS
OF
OF
OF
UTIL (DH)
5 BN (only hitters)
5 SPs
6 RPs
2 DL spots
2 NA spots- for minor league players.
The idea is to create a 25 man roster similar to the Major League teams. The bench players being only hitters makes it more realistic to real life.
Let me know your thoughts and if you would be interested. April 3rd is opening day, so in theory, we need to draft in the next week or so.
Oh, and your team name should be a real city with a nickname.
Alberquerque Blue Meth
Chicago Deep Dish Pizza's
Sugar Land Skeeters
Arkansas Kissing Sisters
.... etc.
