All-Decade All-Stars II - DRAFTING

I would like some clarification on the under 3m rp only rule
Take Goose Gossage for example
He has a 6m card for the Al 80's
a 3.39m for al 70's and under 3m cards for nl 80's and al 80's
under the rules I could draft either of the under 3m cards-
Seems like it is unfair to the al 80's team if they are looking for the 6m card and even if they prefer the under 3m card I think they should have first crack at it
I understand the rule to help out the earlier teams esp the NEL teams but shouldnt the 3m cards be available only after the draft?

Good point, but I think there are plenty of good cards to go around----maybe the earlier teams esp the NEL teams should be able to use these DRAFT only---and then the rest of us can claim after the draft. I don't think there will be a shortage of RPs either way

The RP-ONLY rule is what it is. Any RP's priced at 3.00M or less are fair game to everyone. The end. If teams want to use gamesmanship to block franchises from taking higher $ RP's (like your Gossage example) they can do that. That's part of the strategy of the game. There are half a dozen teams with access to zero RP's priced above 3.00M. For any of those teams with a player above 6M who may be blocked (like Gossage) they have additional higher priced options to fill out the roster.

There are half a dozen teams with access to zero RP's priced above 3.00M. For any of those teams with a player above 6M who may be blocked (like Gossage) they have additional higher priced options to fill out the roster.

Just want to clarify what you are saying here. I assume that the clause "for any of those teams" is not referring to the "half dozen teams..." of the previous sentence but rather only to those teams which have full access to all the relievers of their 10 year, league specific, pool of players. The issue then is for teams with access to relievers over 3M, not all of the relievers they have access to are solely theirs.

Let's use Gossage as an example as an illustration of the RP access rules.
His 1981 6M card is available only to the 1980-1989 AL team
His 1978 card is available only to the 1970-1979 AL team
His other two cards are both under 3M and are thus available to any of the 24 teams in the league.

Let me know if I have this right. Thanks.

An unrelated question. I assume that the two NEL teams differ only in their designation as NEL1 and NEL2 and that both teams have access to the identical pool of cards?

Excellent example, and yes, that is exactly correct. Any team can use any RP-ONLY priced at 3.00M or less.

And yes, the NeL1 and 2 teams both have identical pools of cards. So ... if I were bk, I would select Josh Gibson with my player reserve pick in round two so that that sneaky Hamilton guy didn't get Gibson.
