Unforturnately, I didn't get as much done on my train rides this weekend as I hoped I would. I was on trains for a total of 45 hrs 35 min Saturday through Monday and just barely got the stuff I needed to finish for work completed. No idea where all that time actually went!
I'll be working on the constitution every night this week though trying to incorporate all the feedback I'm getting from you guys.

I'm looking for one more person to join the league. He or she would pick at #28 (everybody else already in the league moves up the order).
I've been contacting a few people via email who have not logged into ProFSL, and if I haven't heard back from them in a week or two, I've been removing them from the league. As of now, I'm looking for at least one more GM. If you know people who might be interested, send them my way.
Thanks.

Transactions Committee (3 to 5 positions, 3 to 5 openings)
Review the following for collusion and legality:
- Trades

League Presidents (2 positions, 2 openings)
Process transactions on Fantrax rosters (add/drops, trades) according to what is approved by the Transactions Committee on the forum.
Note: A league president may also sit on the Transactions Committee, if selected.

For anybody interested in how I've been trying to figure out the optimal points to assign to each stat category, this is the spreadsheet I've been using.
The first three worksheets are the combined stats for all 30 teams in MLB from 2001 to 2010 in batting, pitching and fielding. The last worksheet is the one where I'm tinkering with point values for this league. The point of this exercise is try to ensure we have the right balance and don't accidentally create a league where one type of player is severely overvalued or undervalued.

Q: Are there any openings?
A: Currently there are no openings, but feel free to let us know of your interest and we'll add you to the waiting list. If a position opens up, the Commissioner's Office will contact you.
Q: What is the idea behind this league?
A: Each GM runs a major league organization, including the major league team and all the minor league teams. Just like reality, the GM's here have to not only sign the best players, but manage player contracts and scout out the best prospect talent out there.
Q: What is the membership fee?
A: There is no membership fee. I know times are tough for many people nowadays, so this is one thing I'm pretty adamant about. Some people like to get away from reality and into fantasy (baseball). Why pay for a game?
Q: Where will this league be run?
A: This league will be scored on Fantrax. I have heard nothing but good things about and it's very customizable.
Q: Wait. You said 30 teams, but you're running a free league on Fantrax? They only allow up to 24.
A: This is where I'm going to have to get creative. I am considering hosting a National League and an American League. The season will be shortened on Fantrax by one or two weeks. For the World Series, I will manually score the NL champion and AL champion for the final one or two weeks.
Q: How will this league be scored?
A: It will be H2H points. Just like in real life, a team with an unbalanced lineup can still win, albeit more difficult. The points setting for each category will match up with Bill James' theory of the game being 48% offense, 16% fielding and 36% pitching as closely as possible.
Q: I don't have enough time to research thousands of players for this fantasy league. Is this going to be a problem if I join this league?
A: While you do need to be active in this league on a frequent basis, it's not a necessity to spend an extraordinary amount of time on it. Unless you have a specific interest in the player, there's no need to know the hitting potential of the backup second baseman for the Round Rock Express. Of course, the more you know about every player, the better off you are, but how many people really have the time for it? Probably nobody in this league. Probably not many individual scouting professionals either!

Teams will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The order of selection is here, but I will not ask anybody to select their team until we have the League Constitution substantially complete. If people choose to waive their right to seeing the rules beforehand (such as Reid already selecting the Braves with the 1st pick), they may do so. The order must still be followed though. A draft copy of the League Constitution is posted in the "Commissioner's Office" and updates will be posted as it is revised. At this point, I anticipate league activities starting sometime this summer, and our first season beginning in 2012. If you're interested in joining, post here with your name and e-mail address and I'll add you to the list. Questions and comments are welcomed.
