It's a great format with an AL-Only, NL-Only, and a Combined AL/NL All-Star League. Lot of fun, two separate drafts.
Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... 117#gid=17
JMP1 is leaving us. It will be his team that you'll inherit. Please note that the separate rosters for AL and NL are the correct rosters. The combined roster is not updated. It will be deleted this winter.
If interested, please let me or Terry know.
Thanks.

Here are the rules- it's a fun league as Sean says-
RULES CONCERNING DRAFTS
1. There is no prospect draft. Any player signed by a MLB team is eligible for the draft. Prospects can be drafted at any time during the draft.
2. There is no supplemental draft. This will put more players in play for the following year.
3. Draft position is determined by lottery and position. Each year the bottom six teams will be in a lottery for the first six FA picks. The next six draft positions 7 through 12 by team records
(combined league not included). Ties broken by run differential. This prevents tanking to get first pick. This is important in this league because, let’s say, Trout is traded from the AL to the NL. NL teams might want to get that first pick in next year’s draft, since the difference between that pick and the next…
4. Annual drafts are non-serpentine.
5. All teams must be at 32 players upon completion of draft.
ROSTERS
1. Each AL and NL team will carry a 32-player roster. In the event a transaction sends a roster above the 32-player limit, the team must release as many players as necessary to reach the 32-player level. However, if a team goes below the 32-player roster, the owner must wait until the annual draft or subsequent trade to reach the 32-player limit.
2. The combined AL/NL team roster is 28. The roster is locked at 28 and no free agent pick-ups from your AL/NL teams are allowed.
3. Active rosters are subject only to SOM requirements.
GENERAL RULES
The nicknames of the AL and NL teams will be your choice of a year (two digits) and a valid MLB team name. For example, for an AL team, you might use ‘28 Yankees or ‘34 Tigers. NL- ‘08 Pirates, etc. For location- your choice- doesn’t have to be the city of the team. Example: Key West ‘35 Cubs. You can use years from 1903 to 2019. There is no difference between the 1906 and 2006 Cubs- both would be ’06 Cubs- that’s ok. Why do this? Something different and interesting. You will declare the team name in the 32nd round of the draft along with your 32nd pick and your stadium (stadiums must be unique). 32nd round= pick, stadium and team name. The combined AL/NL team name is your choice,
All team names are permanent. That’s the name of your franchise. Exception: replacement owners may choose names and stadiums.
1. Trading is allowed only within leagues, not across leagues.
2. Trading draft picks allowed.
3. Rule interpretation and questions decided by commissioner.
4. Rule changes decided by majority vote.
5. Divisional assignments for the AL and NL leagues are random the first year. Divisional assignments for the combined AL/NL league are random every year. Subsequent divisional assignments for AL and NL leagues will be determined by W-L records (ties broken by run differential). Best four records in East, next four in Central and next four in West.
6. All transactions must be posted on the league thread.
7. The league commissioner will maintain a record of all transactions.
