You are understanding correctly. Halladay is yours. KPT selects Tim Lincecum.

Moving forward, we will honor a time limit. Kyle will have until 11:30 pm CST to make his pick or he will be skipped. I am going with 11:30, because that will be 12 hours from the time the Pujols pick was logged at CBS. If he gets skipped, he may jump back in at any time to make his pick. Moving forward, everyone will have a 12 hour window (from the time the previous pick is logged) in which to make their pick.

In this scoring system, Jose Reyes is not a top 5 player. Think Ryan Howard, Mark Teixeira, and Lance Berkman. Reyes projects as the 14th best player this year.

Until he gets suspended. 8-[ Not that I love ARod, but if Bud suspends him, that would be BUSH league. The integrity of this whole situation is ridiculoous, and if ARod gets suspended, so should every player who didn't break the rules and got caught. I'm not saying it's okay that ARod cheated, but so did alot of others, and Bud knows who they are. If he suspends ARod, he needs to sack up and suspend everyone who tested positive. If he does that, however, it's absurd, because NO RULES WERE BROKEN.

Until his shoulder falls off. Sorry t be the bearer of bad news, but it was his elbow, and he had it fixed this offseason. AROd was still a great pick.

Odd that everyone got it. I certainly did, but am surprised that they sent it to everyone else.

Cubbiebummin is on the clock...

Awesome awesome. I take it we use the FA list on CBS to determine who is available for draft? Yep. That is how you do it.

New York A-Roids are on the clock:

Kyle Skipworth, C, Florida John Mayberry, OF, Texas Christopher Mason, SP, Tampa Bay Chris Coghlan, 3B, Florida Thanks, Mooch! With the exception of SoCal, we're done and ready.

Great, top-heavy pitching staff. Terrible minor league system, though. And that pen is awful as well. That team is a serious makeover project, which could be alot of fun for the right owner.

I got these from both of them Friday and thought I would just post them so that others have more of idea what will and won't be available. I think Dan has had trouble for some reason getting access to this forum. Go through NC. I got access for Kyle, Cubbiebum, cbbryan, and The Logan

Sorry. All 16 spots are filled. If you want, I would be glad to put you on the backup list, as there is always sure to be one or two people flake out.

Supposably. Irregardless of what you guys think, I would of let it go. You're both emphamous for doing that, though.

A combination of the two. Since not everyone is on here just yet, I will use a combination of here and CBS to conduct the draft. When a player is selected, I will go in and manually enter that player into a team's roster, and he will no longer appear in the free agent database. The Major League Portion of the 2009 Northside Baseball 2 Expansion Draft is now open...

The order for the expansion draft is reversed from the league draft. It will be 9 rounds long, and you will choose 5 MLB players and 4 Minor Leaguers (as determined by league rules). There will be an MLB portion of the draft, and a Minor League portion of the draft. I'm assuming during the expansion draft the only players listed will be the only players available? Will that mean the previous owners will have their keepers locked in on their rosters before hand? Will CBS provide a list of all the available players before draft time? Also, can we assume that anyone not listed on the keepers thread by the previous owners are still available for the expansion draft? I have already input all keepers except for one team. You can get an idea of whose available right now by looking through the free agent list on CBS. It should be accurate, with the exception of DSB's Major Leaguers and MM's Minor Leaguers.

Thanks!

New Owners: In order to fill in your rosters to match return owners, we will hold an expansion draft. IT will be 9 rounds and will contain 2 portions. The first will be the MLB portion, where you will select 5 MLB players. The second portion will be the Minor League portion, where you will choose players who qualify as Minor Leaguers per league rules. (Fewer than 130 career MLB at bats of 50 career MLB innings pitched.)

Thank you, I tried looking around, but there's so many topics on this forum and so much info I didn't know what was necessarily old or new. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it Yeah, nearly everything on here is old. Only about 3 or 4 threads are new. That will change over the next few weeks, but for now, you only need to pay attention to stickies or things that say New in the title.

Points? It's how score is kept. Players earn points for accomplishing certain things (explained on the league website), and every active players points go into your team's score each week. Team with the highest score wins that weeks game. At the end of the season, every player will have points accumulated for his season total. Over the offseason, every team is allowed to ONLY keep up to 1500 points, meaning that each owner will have decide which players to keep and which to release. Look at one of the point totals threads from last season. Each non-exempt player accounted for a number of points, and every owner had to decide which players to keep and how to keep their roster under the point cap limit. To demonstrate: Your roster includes 15 exempt players (players whose points to not count against your cap during the offseason) on the Major League roster. The other 10 are: Roy Halladay (611 pts) Ryan Howard (586 pts) Jake Peavy (554 pts) ARod (539 pts) Carlos Beltran (510 pts) Placido Polanco (407 pts) Brian Fuentes (334 pts) Kevin Gregg (278 pts) IVan Rodriguez (244 pts) Chris Carpenter (113 pts) You would have to decide which of those players to keep, and those players could not total more than 1500 total points. Look at one of the threads from the former league if you need further example. Hope this helps. If not, you will figure it out over the course of the year. You've got time before this becomes relevant, but it will in time.

Hello New NSBB league members! I just wanted to thank you for your interest, and to give you a bit of a head's up on a few things. You have been added to a league that has existed for 3 years. However, because we have also expanded the league, the circumstances of your entrance are a bit odd. Typically, you will not see a few people naming keepers, and as long as Minor Leaguers are within the limits, no one will ever have to designate a minor leaguer as a keeper. All minor leaguers are keepers. You will also undoubtedly have questions regarding keepers and exemptions. The rules are listed in this forum, though it can still be confusing. Let me try to clarify and give you an example: Every player is granted 3 seasons of exemption. What this means is that a player does not count against your Points Cap for 3 seasons once his rookie eligibility has been exhausted. A players rookie year is technically the year he surpasses 130 ABs or 50 IPs. When this happens, his "exemptions clock" begins to tick. As a way to demonstrate this example: Player A got 87 AB's in 2006, and 233 in 2007. He only got 100 AB's in 2008. Because he surpassed the 130 career AB mark in 2007, he used his first exemption that year. He burned his second exemption after the 2008 season. This year will be his final exempt year, meaning that he would not count against your point cap after this season, but would after 2010. Player B pitched 18 innings in 2004, 31 in 2005, 60 in 2006, and 120 each in 2007 and 2008. Because he did not surpass 50 career IP until 2006, he did not use an exemption until 2006. In 2007, he burned his second exemption. After 2008, he used his last, meaning he would not count against your point cap this year, but will after the 2009 season. Player C got 300 AB in 2007 and 1 in 2008. His clock began in 2007, and even though he only got one AB in 2008, he still burned an exemption. This would be his final exempt season. I hope that explanation and those examples help clear up what might be an otherwise confusing situation. Mooch (White Soxaholics) and I will be combing through every roster each offseason, letting you know who is exempt, who is not, and how many points you have on your rosters. Please ask if you have questions. Again, thanks for joining! Hope you have as much fun as we have over the past 3 years!
