Looking for Leagues

[Freedom]

I like the concept. And there will absolutely need to be a very clear line, because as we get to years 4-6, we'll need a straightforward way to track when guys were originally called up.

Excellent job so far!!!

I could probably figure out how to set up the ProBoards thing. But I think we need a league name first. Let's check with the HQ guys

[BigJon]

I'm operating under HQFDL for now. We have an HQer in the league and nobody has shouted us down yet. I think we're good :-)

[Freedom]

Ok, good. Girlfriend just coming home tomorrow after 3 weeks away, so check into ProBoards in a few days probably.

I agree with this. Take Hosmer from last year as an example. He was called up in mid-May if I remember correctly. That early in the season, he should be at a $6 first year, $12 the next, etc.
Someone like Jacob Turner who made 2 starts and was called up in either late Aug or early Sept shouldn't be treated the same way. I think he should fall under the $6, $6, $12, etc. That's just my opinion on the matter.

How about the clock starts if he loses his rookie status in the call up year?

[BigJon]

Doesn't take much to lose rookie status. I think we have to make it a specific call up date.

The reason for it is to keep a person from being punished by one of their minor leaguers being called up halfway through the year. All of a sudden his first keeper year is at $12. That should only happen in the guy played most of the year in the majors.

Ok guys, All done with the rough draft of the constitution. So far I only have emails from 7 of the 14 owners who have asked to join the league. I'm going to wait a bit to get more addresses before sending it out so that we don't have to rehash things twice.

We have 14 guys now? Wow. You're awesome! Do you need my email, or you've got it? Great job

I do need you to send me an email, thanks. I'm organizing folks in my outlook folder to keep things simple.

Hello all. First post on the forums, really looking forward to this league.

I've set up the basic Off-Season ProBoard here: http://www.hqfdl.proboards.com/

Jon, I believe you have the official list of who's playing, plus a League Constitution. If you want to email me the Constitution, I can post it. If you want to "Officially" invite people the league, CC me so I know who to accept when the Register. And give me your contact info, so I can register you as an Admin on the Boards.

Who else is going to help us co-Commish?

Once we're all set up over there, we can use that Board to communicate, set draft times, etc

[Freedom]

ProBoards set-up - awaiting League Members to join at http://www.hqfdl.proboards.com/, and the Constitution so I can post it.

Who else is going to step up and Co-Commish?

When do we launch this thing?

[southpaw23]

Just signed up. Did we end up with enough interest to fill the league?

[BigJon]

Yessir, We're filled if all committed actually join.
