Hi Everyone,
Here's a great chance for anyone interested in joining an extremely progressive contract league. You haven't played fantasy baseball, until you've experienced a contract league. The following are some of our many different rules.
The NCML 1 is looking for just 1 (ONE) owner. Don't let this
opportunity to join a great contract league, slip through your hands.
If you have some spare time & are in search of a contract league,
which is heavily into prospects, we've got it. We are building
franchises in this leagues, not just teams.
Team #19 currently owned by Stefan Frisch, is open on a first come first served basis. Some of the players om the roster are:
Josh Tomlin, Yu Darvish, Jose Fernandez, Michael Wacha, Wil Smith, Mike Napoli, Brandon Belt, DJ Lemiheu, Nolan Arrenado, Andrelton Simmons, Adam Eaton, Carlos Gomez, Jason Heyward & Stephen Souza.
Here is some dope on what this league offers. John Cassielo is the
commissioner & will not own a team. That will enable him to spend more
time on league matters. How many leagues have you been in before,
where the commissioner, ONLY runs the league. So far we have signed
only owners some of us have played with before. They are all very
good. If you're interested, let me know, since I'm handling the
recruiting end of things.
The following, is the URL, for our constitution:

The new league is a Scoresheet League. This will be the main aspects
of the league, but it will be very involved with a ton of new twists.
* If you'd like a real challenge, are interested in building a
franchise (rather than just a team) & are really into MiLB, the BL NCML
1 is for you.
* It will be a contract league, with 45 years to doll out to your
players this year.
* 8 teams will make the playoffs. 4 division winners & 4 wild cards.
* We will hold a 10 Round MiLB Draft ( Only players with absolutely
ZERO playing experience in MLB, can be drafted in this
Draft. The MiLB Draft will be held BEFORE the 35 round MLB Draft (
Only players that have appeared in a regular season MLB game)..
* There will be 35 man rosters.
* There will be 15 player MiLB rosters. However, ALL of these players
(MLB & MiLB, will be on the same roster. You & your fellow
owners will be able to see all of the players you own, on the same
page, which will make trading & such much easier.
* We will have a bi-weekly waiver wire. There will not be any supplemental drafts, like most SS leagues. The waiver order will be
selected on the usual worst to best record for said waiver period.
There will be a 3 player limit per team, per period. The add/drops
will be just like a mini draft every other week. You put in the
players you wish to add, on the SS draft site. You will not need to
drop your players, to get back to the 35 man limit, UNTIL you know > which players, you actually received. That's pretty awesome!
* We would hold a yearly 4 round amateur draft, every year toward the end of August.
After the owners know if the amateurs actually signed and
after they've played awhile. In that way you would have a better idea
of their skill sets.
* You will be able to keep 15 MiLB players on the farm. There will be
no penalties levied for keeping MiLB players. No loss of draft picks
or anything else. They will be yours to trade or keep and develop. The
only stipulation will be, before the draft next year, if you currently
have more than 15, you would have to drop some to get back down to 15.
* Once your MiLB players join your roster and lose there rookie
status, after 50 IP or 150 AB, per MLB rules, they will be yours for 3
more years. You would have to sign them to a contract before their 3rd
year kicked in, or lose them to free agency, at the conclusion of the
3rd year. With this rule, you would have a fairly good idea, whether
or not they would be worth signing to a contract.
* Every owner can have 1 franchise player. Franchise players are yours
to keep and are completely free. The contracts they are signed to, DO
NOT count against the allotted contract years, which gives you more
years to doll out to other players. You may sign them twice to
contracts ranging from 2- 6 years, which means the longest you can
keep a franchise player is 12 years. Your best player costs you nothing.
* Players can be signed to contracts ranging from 2- 6 years. However
the more players you give a 6 year contract to, the less you have for
other players. This will be a thinking mans league. After the
contracts have been turned into the commissioner, any player not
signed to a 2-6 year contract, ts automatically signed to a 1 year
contract.
* Of course you will be able to make all sorts of trades, but will
have to take into consideration, the # of years left on the contracts
of the players you're trading for, as well as receiving. You can also
trade your Franchise player.
* With 20 owners and all of the Major & MiLB players being kept, there
wouldn't be much to pick from at the beginning of year 2. Going into
the 3rd year it would be a better draft and after the 3rd year, it
would be amazing, with a lot of players being signed to 3 year
contracts, becoming FA. You will see players becoming available , you
would never see in a normal SS league, as the contracts started
expiring. In years 4, 5, & 6, etc., it just keeps getting better &
better.
* Oh! By the way, all American & National League players would be
available. I would never be in anything but a BL format. I really hope
this interests you. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
If you were ever interested in joining a contract league, which is the
ULTIMATE, by the way, now is you chance. Don't dally or someone will
beat you to it!
