This root league allows 14 major league players to be protected. At least seven (7) of the major league players must be from the root team. The remaining major league players may be from any other team. The league allows three (3) crossover players (the presence of certain AL players is because when the league was originally created we drafted one AL player). You may also protect, without SS penalty, up to 15 minor league players. At least 10 of them must be root minor league players and the other five (5) may be from any team. You may keep up to 15 root minor leaguers. However, keeping more than five (5) non-root minor leaguers causes the loss of a draft round (under usual SS rules), as does keeping more than 15 total minor leaguers. We draft under SS rules. However, we automatically add the top two June amateur draft picks to your team each year. Otherwise, we draft under usual SS web-drafting rules. We have three (3) teams available:
Team 5 (San Francisco Giants): Among others, this team has: Madison Bumgarner. Aaron Nola, Kent Maeda, Johnny Cueto (recovering), and Ty Block as pitchers, as well as Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, Joe Panik, Ben Zobrist, Brandon Crawford, T. Shaw, Giancarlo Stanton, A. McCutcheon, and Nick Conforto.
Team 6 (Los Angeles Dodgers): Among others, this team has: Z. Greinke, J. Chacin, Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, D. Straily, Ross Stripling, Y. Grandal, Cody Bellinger, Max Muncy, Justin Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Y. Puig and other Dodgers.
Team 8 (Cincinnati): Among others, this team has: Kyle Freeland, Gerrit Cole, Derek Holland, Trevor Williams, Realmuto, Joey Votto, Scooter Gennett, Eduardo Suarez, Jose Peralta (young N. Senzel), Mike Trout, Jess Winker (who should be back), young developing Phil Ervin and others.
All three teams have a number of developing minor leaguers.
