$205 buy in, 14 Teams, 100% payout, all funds held by Fantrax. Rosters consist of 35 minors, 25 keepers, 23 active spots and 10 bench. All money is paid out except the Fantrax fee (1st 50% 2nd 25% 3rd 15% 4th 10%). No FAAB, just standard waivers, and trades are allowed at any point for minors, vets, or keepers.
Roster is comprised of: C, C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI, OF (6), UT - SP (5) RP (2)
Team has 7 picks in first 3 rounds, 10 in first 6 rounds, adding those 10 drafted guys would enable you to compete right away or you could flip them to get more keepers and build a dynasty. The draft has stars from the first couple rounds, solid guys the next couple, and then decent guys for the next three... When keepers get cut (usually because they were late bloomers) they go to the draft forever.
Top Five Round Available Draft Talent: Kluber, Cano, Bautista, Gomez, Pujols, Cueto, Lester, Arrieta, Robertson, Hamels, Lee, Britton, Beltre, Werth, Harrison, Ortiz, Gordon, Melky, Carrasco, Crash Davis, Weaver, Rollins, LaRoche, Papelbon, Yadier, Fister, Choo, Gio, Nathan, Cishek, Kazmir, Murphy, JD Martinez, Hughes, Keuchel, Uhera, Span, Dickey, Kendrick, Perkins, Pierce, Moss, Tillman, Lackey, Peralta, Morneau, Utley, Ervin, Clippard, Castilla, McCarthy, Fiers, Andrew Miller, Cain, Benoit, Hardy, Aramis, JJ Hardy, Cecil, K Rod, Rondon, Headley, Peavy, Phillips, Tori Hunter, Hawkins, etc
Team has numerous solid keepers (HG) including Jorge Soler, LucCroy, Granderson, Pedro Alvarez, Leyons Martin, Betances, Wade Miley, Jacob deGrom, Hutchinson, Niese, Simen, Nick Franklin, and many others.
The only wrinkle is that when one of your minors guys hits 130ABs or 50IP they become "Homegrown" and thus keepers forever, regardless of whether you trade them or not. If they are dropped, however, they enter the draft and can never be kept again. All the rest, scoring, roster, etc is extremely standard. The one team available has TONS of early picks that can supplement the HG guys and win right now or flipped for prospects/keepers if you want to build a dynasty as they hold A LOT of value, especially right now this close to our draft being little more than a month out. You can also trade prospects for more picks or keepers, the farm on this team is a massive asset.
The minors is already loaded as well, all of which become keepers when they hit 50IP or 130ABs. Standout farmhands include: Appel, Conforto, Schwarber, Gary Sanchez, Dian Toscano, Mallex Smith, Trea Turner, Tim Anderson, Forrest Wall, Eduardo Rodriguez, Reynaldo Lopez, Steve Matz, Sean Nolin.... Eduardo, Appel, and Schwarber are three of the Top 25 prospects in all of baseball.
If unsure about minors here is an excellent article to get you right up to speed, also, if you join I can send your several other great links for similar write ups: www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fang ... pect-list/
