To anyone who has posted here and still looking for a team...
To all current and future members,
Kris (Kdoc09) and I are trying to assemble a new league that will be a spin-off of the Franchise GM brand name. The current name of this league will be RFGM, or Retro Franchise GM - name subject to change.
The gist of this league will almost be exact to that of FGM. There will be several minor changes, and a few major changes. More information on the minor changes will be available once the league page is set up. The major difference between this league, and FGM is that we are going by the old four division format. Meaning that the Rockies, Rays, D'Backs, and Marlins have now been retracted. Those players from those teams will be entered into the first ever retraction draft, which will follow the draft order of the upcoming entry draft.
Rosters will be according to the current MLB 40 man rosters. After a GM has been chosen, he will be allowed to choose 10 prospects from his teams minor league system, to fill out that teams EDR. Anyone not chosen will become a free agent. Each team will be allowed to cut up to 15 million in payroll without penalty. Each player cut, grants you a pick in the retraction draft. The draft will only be four rounds, so if you cut more than 3 players, you will still only get 3 picks. After your gratis salary slash has been processed, same rules apply as FGM, for players cut while under contract.
Contracts will be the same as in FGM. As I said, once we have a full league, their will be a few tweaks made to the FGM rules, but nothing major. Lastly, and this is a major part of this league, you have to be a fan of the team you take over. If your team has already been taken, then please request another, and a reason why you should be considered for it. Proximity, favorite player(s), etc.
If you are unaware of what the divisions looked like back in the day, please follow this link...

Mets - Me
Angels - Kris
White Sox - Jake
Pirates - Colby
Yanks - Roy
Reds - Rick (Bhows)
Giants - Flash - only one man for that job
Braves - Millertime
Brewers - Corey -
Instance where a favorite team was picked, but he has a proximity to Miller Park, likes the Brewers, and hates the Cubs.
This is just another way for us to expand on the FGM brand, so please post at the link below if you would like to be considered for a GM position.
