Not sure whether to post this here or in "looking for leagues" so I'll try here first.
Friendly 10-team AL-only auction keeper baseball league is looking for a replacement owner. The league has been around since 2008 and has had pretty much the same membership since 2011. It's a fun and relaxed yet competitive group. We've had a vacancy come up after last year's third-place team left (quite amicably) due to other commitments.
First things first - the league has an online Auction/Draft through CBS set for Sunday, April 7 at 2 PM Eastern. You can be anywhere with an Internet connection and access to the CBS software; we're spread out across the US. We usually finish in about three hours, maybe a little more.
The league is $150 to join. 65% of the pot goes to the winner, 35% to second place. Third place (including the open team) through sixth place finishers get salary reductions for the following season. Standard 5x5 scoring. Rosters are pretty standard rotisserie in terms of active players (14 position players, 9 pitchers). There are also 17-man reserve rosters which can be used for injured players, AL minor leaguers, etc. We use the Auction to fill the active rosters ($260 cap on Auction day, $300 cap in-season), and then a straight draft to fill the initial reserve lists. $100 FAAB for in-season acquisitions. Trading is active. A player's salary is either the auction price or the free agent bid price, or, if acquired in the Draft, a set dollar figure depending on the round taken. Position eligibility is 10 games the previous season or 5 in the current season. Teams must keep a minimum of five players and a maximum of ten players from year-to-year. Major league keepers have $5 added to their salaries each offseason.
Some owners get very active about building a minor league roster; some prefer to concentrate on major leaguers. You can win either way.
Full rules, any questions answered, and the roster of the open team - which is pretty good - to anyone interested. PM me or post here. Thanks, all!
