2011 Auction League
Rule Change Proposals


If any of you have an Auction League rule change that you would like to propose, send me an e-mail and they will be added to the list. ==
Contact the Commish at bigmck@sbcglobal.net


Proposal One -- This proposal is to eliminate our Minor League Draft. The thinking behind this is that when a Minor Leaguer is brought up, it eliminates a lot of the fun and strategy from the game since 11 of the top Minor Leaguers are eliminated from the bidding process as they have been Drafted. Any Owners having Minor Leaguers on their roster at the present time would keep them under the present rules.

Vote to either Eliminate Minor Draft or Keep Minor Draft.


Proposal Two -- This is a proposal to keep the FAAB turned on at all times. It will run every night. DL and ML replacement players would be picked up with a $0 (zero dollar) bid. This would indicate a free move. The DL replacement and the DL player would be linked and have the same salary as the present rule. == If you bid on a DL replacement player with an amount higher than zero, it would count as one of your twelve moves and the players would not be linked. == If you bid zero and drop a player, it would be an illegal move and would be reversed. == In order to assure you get a DL replacement player in the first available FAAB run, you may bid on more than one player using the same DL player in all of your bids. The CBS system will process the bid at the top on the ADD/DROP page first then to the second, etc. == If this rule passes, the two day wait for picking up players new to the league as DL or ML replacements would be eliminated since all players are being bid on. == Our present rule says that September 15 will be the last day to start the FAAB. The FAAB will still stay on after this date, but only DL / ML Replacement players may be picked up, no bid higher than Zero will be allowed.

Vote FOR or AGAINST leaving the FAAB on at all times.


Proposal Three -- This proposal is to change the WIN catagory to QUALITY STARTS. Changing this would reward pitchers who are on teams with bad hitters.

Vote Yes to change and vote No to keep things as they are.
