I have a sal cap keeper, if anyone's interested. (I'm in Dylan's league also I use all 4....I'm a junkie I admit it)

You get 65 million for the draft and your first 2 picks (1 batter, 1 pitcher) are considered "franchise players" and do not go against your cap in anyway. But you have them on your roster all year and cannot DL or trade them (so they can really help or down the stretch kill you if they get hurt and you need that extra someone)

It's a keeper league so the players you draft are yours until their contract expires, you trade them or they retire.

From there we use the USATODAY salary website http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/baseb...aspx?year=2005 (Last years salaries) when drafting your players.

All 25 roster spots are statted,

Pos. C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, IF, IF, LF, CF, RF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, RP, RP, DL, DL

Stat Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, CS, BB, K, FPCT, AVG, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP

Right now it's head 2 head but if the league wants I can change it to rotisserie.

Here's how the draft will work:

First round everyone just goes in random order for their offensive "Franchise Player" and then reverse order for their Pitcher.

rounds 3-7

Manager 1 bids on Player1 everyone else has a chance to bid bidding continues until everyone but 1 person drops out. (the contract is only good for 1 year..... these 5 players will be FA at seasons end.

8-25 return to normal drafts, real life salary and contract length.

It sounds a lot more complicated than it truly is. Last year I ran a league like this and it was fun, but I was going through the divorce and some other issues towards the end so I had to give it up.
