Looking for a different type of league where player AAA won’t beat you?
There is a 10 Team BL, with a 50-man roster caps and no drafts. Each owner has one three team group. Any of the players on those 3 teams can be put on the owner’s 50-man roster. So in addition to your Root team you get two more teams. The the teams that are available are, as follows:
Team #1 made up of NYY, KCR and Hou
Team #6 made up of MIA, STL and AZ, or
Team #8 made up of NYM, MIL and SFG.
Alternatively, if someone wants the ChiSox, Balt, Seattle group, I would switch to one of the above.
Your team can only get two players two ways. One is to select a player that is on one of the three MLB teams in your group. The other is to trade for them. No other owner can pick any of the players on your three teams. In one sense, you would have way more than 50 players protected from other owners.
The reason the roster cap is important is because you can keep those players on your team no matter what. If your real life teams trade players those players change team groups here, unless they are on your Scoresheet roster. The roster is made up of the players you have entered on the web site. Also, trading is allowed with other teams. If you drop traded players off your roster they revert back to the team group of the real team. There were only two trades in our inaugural season, as you have lots of depth.
You can drop someone from your roster and pick another player from your 3 team group any time you want. The Scoresheet “Report a Trade” link allows you to easily move players on and off your roster. You can also trade players who are not on your roster so long as they are on one of the 3 MLB teams you control.
Player AAA has almost no impact. If starters on your real life teams are injured they bring minor leaguers which can be
used by your team the next week. The All-Star effect is fairly significant.
