Title: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 02, 2011, 08:32:50 PM: Select your team by posting your choice in this thread as a reply. The order of selection can be found on this thread: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=21878.0

Please read the League Constitution carefully before selecting your team. If there are any questions at all regarding the constitution, please bring them up immediately on the forum.

In order to give people time to get acquainted with the rules, we are not imposing a time limit on selections for now. However, if a GM is on the clock and has not responded to any contact by the Commissioner's Office in three days, a team will automatically be chosen for him or her (best available team based on the 2010 final standings).

Keep in mind that the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are already over the salary cap of $125M, so be wary if choosing them. The Yankees are over by $38M and the Red Sox by $7M, even after removing the salaries of players who will be leaving due to free agency.

The rosters and salaries are here: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=22560.0. I will update the spreadsheet with the contract information from the PDF file when I have the time, but it will not be any information that is not already available in league.

I will unlock this thread on Tuesday July 5th, so GM's can start choosing their organizations (I am not starting selection now so people take the time to read the rules).

Good luck and let's have some fun!

Post by: Orange Country on July 05, 2011, 02:40:58 PM: I am a HUGE Bravos fan and I WANT to pick them, but since I have first pick here, I have decided to go a different direction and pick my favorite AL Team- the Boston Red Sox.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 05, 2011, 07:07:36 PM: Alex (alevan) just left the league yesterday. Rick (Bama) moves up to #2 is next to select their team.

I already have some people interested in joining the league. That person will pick #28 (everybody else moves up one position as well).
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: Bama on July 05, 2011, 07:26:11 PM: Thank you fantasyguru the REAL BRAVES fan will take the Atlanta Braves.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread

Thank you fantasyguru the REAL BRAVES fan will take the Atlanta Braves.

I've already got the Braves in 2 leagues in here as well as some other leagues outside of PROFSL. I have never had 1st pick in a league or the Red Sox in a league as their my favorite AL team.

The Washington Nationals look reasonable to me...

The Nationals will have to look reasonable to you later on. You're about 10 positions down on the order.

Dave (Tarheels55) is up.

Good! I was actually afraid they would fall all the way down to me.

Hope you have a good accountant ;-)
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: OUDAN on July 07, 2011, 09:59:26 PM: although on second thought i thought about it and getting rid of arods contract wont be easy so i retract my statement it is possible i will take them but possible i go in another direction and work on rebuilding since i already have my yanks in FGM. now if everyone would hurry up we would know lol
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 08, 2011, 06:43:53 PM: I'm calling your bluff. No way you don't take the Yankees.

I sent an email to Scott yesterday as soon as it was his turn. We just have to have some patience because some people have very busy schedules and don't always have access to their computers. With that being said, we'll wait until tomorrow afternoon and if I don't hear from him, we'll go on to the next person. I will not pick a team for him because it's been a few weeks since he's logged into ProFSL and I'm not entirely positive he is still around. If that happens, I'm removing him from the league and will add someone from the waiting list at #28.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: Colby on July 08, 2011, 08:28:35 PM: Agreed Kenny... we shouldn't auto-pick franchises.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 09, 2011, 12:38:35 PM: I am allowing Kurt (kangol) to make his selection after 2:30pm ET today, unless I hear from Scott.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 09, 2011, 04:15:51 PM: I've heard back from Scott. We will wait for him to make his selection. Kurt will follow after Scott.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kenny on July 10, 2011, 04:23:29 PM: Scott sent me an email saying he will be picking the Minnesota Twins.

Kurt (kangol) is up next.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: fogler40 on July 10, 2011, 04:49:15 PM: Yes, I take the team that is the most dangerous in late July and August. My Minnesota Twins, if you have a chance come check out the new stadium, it does not disappoint.
Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: kangol on July 10, 2011, 05:23:23 PM: i will take the Blue Jays

Title: Re: Organization Selection Thread
Post by: franchise77 on July 10, 2011, 10:57:47 PM: As much as I think this is a bad choice, I feel the youth is there, I'll take the Chicago Cubs.

I'll try to get the rest of the salaries typed into the master spreadsheet (it's posted in the Commissioner's Office section of this forum currrently).

Free agency will start at a date TBD.

You can make any transactions in the meanwhile that you'll need for the amateur draft or free agency.
