Cy Young and the Cy Youngs Progressive Needs 1 Topic

The Cy Young and the Cy Youngs Progressive League (CYCYPL) needs one owner.

Simple Stuff:
This is a progressive league that advances one year at a time.
It’s a 16 team league that uses a 154 game schedule.
Theres no DH or AAA or clones.

Stuff unique to our league:

We are currently in 06/86 season. Our next draft will have the 1907 rookies and 1987 All Stars. Each draft has the old time rookies and the modern All Stars who aren’t all ready in the league (it’s usually about 20 of them).

The draft is just rookies and eligible all stars. If a dude is cut or forgotten, he is removed from the player pool.

The 1st round draft order is best to worst, excluding the two World Series Teams. There’s no advantage to tanking.

I provide a spreadsheet of all eligible players (with stats and stuff) like a month before the draft.

Theres a 27 man roster so you don’t have to cut good players.

The draft is 7 rounds each year and takes about a week.

Our next draft is scheduled for around 10/15.

The teams are all pretty good (salaries average about 90-100 million) but it’s super easy to rebuild because you can take all stars in the second and third round.

Ill post the team a little later today but it does have Cy Young.

If you have any questions let me
know.

Molitor is probably to good to sit on the bench. Some of you are clever I am sure you can figure it out.
Good OF defense, Jacoby-Molitor-Crawford is a pretty nice middle of the lineup.

Pitching is a little light. There's only 800ish "good" IP, IMO. Coombs probably won't kill you but you definitely need to pick up a few pitchers in the draft.


Just my 2 cents.
