We lost two good owners this year. Team 6 (Tampa Bay Rays) and Team 9 (Los Angeles Angels).
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 NL players is because when the league was originally created we drafted one NL 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. If a root minor leaguer was drafted by another team, but not protected when protection lists are due, then you may add that root minor league player. You may also add non-protected root minor leaguer players that were not drafted last year. 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. From the available teams we have some of the players noted below (*root player). Both teams have an excellent list of minor leaguers:
Team 6 (Tampa Bay Rays): Drafts 2nd in each round. SP: Charlie Morton(*), Brett Anderson, Brad Keller, Blake Snell(*); C: Robinson Chironos; 1B: CJ Cron; 2B: Brad Lowe (*); 3B: Y. Gurriel (1
; Yandy Diaz (*)(1
, Eric Sogard(*)(2
; SS: Willy Adames(*), Hanser Alberto (2B-3

Team 9 (Los Angeles Angeles): Drafts 7th in each round: SP: Shohei Ohtani(*); James Paxton, Cole Hamels, Kevin Gausmann; G. Canning(*), Andrew Heaney(*), Brad Peacock; C: Wilson Ramos, Christian Vasquez; 2B: David Fletcher(*) (SS-3B-OF); SS: Andrelton Simmons(*); OF Cole Calhoun(*); Mike Trout(*); Justin Upton(*); DH: Shohei Ohtani(*); Nelson Cruz
