MLB Contract League

Post by bill » Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:43 am

i'm on the outside of the league looking in. this league seems unbelievably fascinating to me. i'll probably start a new thread about it, but i'd love to see if we can muster together another 15 owners to do a second league if KJ wouldn't mind running it (no pressure...



It's probably a long shot at this point, but i'd regret not trying. who knows, maybe one or 2 of the owners in the other league would want a second crack at the draft (if that is OK with KJ).



I'll put my name first on the list (whether it's for 2011 or 2012).

I've been fascinated as well. I'd like to do it, but not in Vegas as I won't be out there.

I'd be open to changing to 50% for this league (would love to hear thoughts from the owners who have already shown interest ). the setup of the league and the draft is the fun part. I'm not looking at the league to fund my retirement, that's what i have social security for....ha ha.

For the 2nd draft, I'd like to see it remain at 100% as the first one....just my 2 cents.



Thanks

Full price league - if you want to be cheap you have the option of drafting a team for as little as $125 as is. If we can get to 15 I'll take a vote on FAAB or DC league.



Likewise, this is a faster slow draft, 10hr clock and I'll be in touch via text to keep things moving if you can't get to a computer.

FAAB leagues I can't commit to because my time will likely be needed elsewhere during the season.
