No More Strike League Has Openings

Dave Elkin · 11-03-2003, 10:30 PM

We are kicking off a new league. We have 26 teams and we have 12 current managers. I will use Yahoo groups to manage files. Here is the league premise:

We use OOTP 5.13 to simulate 20 years of MLB which after the disaster of the 1981 strike the owners and the players association decided upon the following:

1. No more strikes for 20 years.
2. $80 million team salary cap
3. FA after four years
4. no arbritration
5. Wild card round added

It is a career league. I am simming the 1981 season to be able to set up rookies and FA's for the opening 1982 league. Please email me at <b>davidmelkin@cs.com</b> if you have an interest. The current teams that are available (as of 11-3-03) are:

Cleveland
Detroit
Milwaukee
Toronto
Chicago (A)
Kansas City
Oakland
Seattle
Texas
New York (N)
Pittsburgh
Atlanta
Los Angeles
San Francisco

It should be an interesting league.

I am planning on using yahoo groups but I could do a website using tripod. I am not sure I will do that at this point in time.

Is there a strike before the first year of the league that causes all the players to go into the free agent pool?

Dave Elkin · 11-04-2003, 06:53 PM

I am postulating that the strike did take place but that not everybody was declared a free agent. I also decided that no games were lost. I am simming that season so that the 1982 teams will be minus any new FA's and will not have any rookies from that season.
