NL Rising Phoenix is a unique private Scoresheet root league. Each team roster is based partially on a major league roster. Team 2 in the league is available. Team 2's major league team is the Colorado Rockies. Each team protects 14 major leaguers, at least 7 of which must be from the root team (Rockies). The remaining 7 players may be from the root team or from any other team. The league allows 3 crossovers. In addition, without penalty (loss of picks 35, 34, ....) each team may protect 15 minor league players. All 15 minor league players may be from the root team (Rockies) or up to 5 minor league players may be kept from other teams and 10 from the root team. Loss of round penalties occur for protecting more than 15 minor leaguers or protecting more than 5 non-root minor league players. The top two draft picks in the amateur draft each year are automatically assigned to the root team (Rockies). Other basic Scoresheet rules otherwise apply to the league.
Rockies' players on team: SP: G. Marquez; K. Freeland; A. Senzatela; 1B: C. Cron; 2b: B. Rodgers; 3B: Ryan McMahon; OF: C. Blackmon. Players from other teams: SP: S. Gray; B. Snell; F. Peralta; 1B: E. Hosmer; 2B: T. Story; 3B: N. Arenado; SS: K. Newman; OF: M. Canha; D. Peralta; B. Gamel. A nice set of minor leaguers also.
The Rockies' team has all it's picks (except 35), extra picks(25,30) and picks 1st in every round in the spring draft. Non-root keeper lists are due to me no later than February 18 and root keeper lists no later than February 26. The spring draft starts March 8 and ends March 24.
This team needs an owner willing to work to rebuild it. The league has good owners willing to trade and help new owners with the rules.
