After successfully applying this format to the the player pools of the 60s and 70s, with the help of Baseball Reference.com, the 80s players pool was reviewed to determine which team each player had the most plate appearances/innings pitched to establish player alignment. Since the player pool for the 80s was more limited, not all team are represented. The list of teams that are/are not able to field a competitive team is detailed below.
The only players eligible for this league are detailed on an Excel sheet which I will send you if you are interested in joining the league. Please send me a private messag with your email address.
The league will most likely start after August 3rd based on conflicts for some of the current league owners. Once full, we will run the randomizer and the draft of teams may start but will likely not complete until August 3rd
Current owners:
1.tdkearns
2.Burley Norseman
3.RonSanto
4.The BC Manager
5.Falcon29
6.LM Bombers
7.Franky35
8.YountFan
9.JJB92
10.MFL536
11. fench33
12. Bigdinkent
Trades: Allowed--no restrictions
Roster size: No limits/restrictions other than game rules
Salary Limit: $140,000,000
Team name: The actual franchise name will be used
Stadium: The team will play in the stadium associated with their franchise
Designated Hitter: The DH rule will be used
Waivers: There will be waivers (explained below) for some teams.
Draft order: Determined by random number generator run on the message board
Division placement: The owners with the first 4 selections will comprise the East. The next 4 comprise the Central and the last 4 comprise the West.
Waivers/one player exchange: In order to provide teams with lower base salaries with additional roster options, teams eligible for the one player exchange will have the option of exchanging one player assigned to their team plus either $1 million (5 teams) or $1.5 million (6 teams) during the waiver process or before the start of the season. This option can only be used to acquire one player. The player you release is no longer eligible for use by the owner releasing him and can be selected by another team that is eligible for the player exchange process.
One the season starts, only players selected for the franchise will be eligible. The exception is for trades. If you select a team eligible for the player exchange, you can choose to wait until after waivers run. This might be advantageous in order to review players exchanged by other owners.
The following teams will not be participating in the league as they did not have sufficient players to field a competitive team. In order to achieve more competitive teams, some players from the following teams were assigned to the the remaining franchises.
Atlanta Braves
Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles Dodgers
New York Yankees
St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers
Twenty franchises are eligible for this league. The 9 teams with the highest salaries will not be eligible for the one player exchange.
Those 9 teams are:
Pittsburgh Pirates
Montreal Expos
New York Mets
Kansas City Royals
Milwaukee Brewers
Oakland Athletics
California Angles
Toronto Blue Jays
Detroit Tigers
The following teams are eligible to exchange one player assigned to their franchise for any player on teams NOT drafted.
These teams can use the salary of one player plus $1 million to acquire a player from a non-selected team.
Houston Astros
San Francisco Giants
Cincinatti Reds
Baltimore Orioles
Philadelphia Phillies
The following teams are eligible for the player exchange and can use the salary of one player plus $1.5 million.
Seattle Mariners
San Diego Padres
Chicago Cubs
Cleveland Indians
Minnesota Twins
Chicago White Sox
Example: The owner of the Cubs could decide to exchange Calvin Schiraldi for another player. Calvin has a salary of 4.06 million. The Cubs have a bonus of $1.5 million meaning the Cubs owner can exchange Calvin for a player with a value of $5.56 million or less. He could not pick up two players for $5.56. The player selected can be any position player or pitcher. Calvin could be picked up by a team eligible for the exchange program provided they did not exchange a player previously.
