PrintThe Situation:
In a rage of patriotic stupidity, Bud Selig contracts the Toronto Blue Jays and moves the team to the states.The Ottawa Lynx moved to Allentown, and unplanned, but necessary for this game, the Vancouver Canadians move south as well. Outraged, a grassroots movement known as Friends of Baseball In Canada, along with many conglomerate Canadian companies have started a 10 team league known as the Canadian League Baseball. It is an independant league. There is 5 teams in the East (Halifax, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, and Montreal)and 5 teams in the West (Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg).
The Game:
There will be a 25-man draft to fill your roster. However, there is a bank of players, the 2008 Minor League Free Agent List below

The real challenge is filtering the talent on the list. At the end of the draft, there will be votes to determine the winner.
Only players from the list can be selected
Anyone Interested?

suggested realignment
Take out Regina (194000), move Winnipeg to the West (cause it is more West than East) and add in Hamilton to the East – (692,000). There’s a good argument to be made for Quebec City (792k) over Halifax (372K) as well, but the if you want Maritimes representation, Halifax should do fine.

Another interested player
Sure, why not ………. this could bridge the gap till things get real interesting in my other leagues in January :)
Scoring?
Would we be able to keep score of our “players” for next season? If so, how would we grade players who play on different levels?

I would be interested
in playing. Sounds like fun.

Couple of questions
DH or no? How do we decide who gets what city? Once we have our city, can we determine what type of park we’ll have? Or will it just be considered a neutral park? I haven’t gone and check altitudes of any of the cities, but are we looking at any type of Coors Field effect? Sorry for the questions, but this kind of stuff will help with the manner in which you construct a team.

Erm...
I really don’t think it’s supposed to be that sophisticated.

I would definitely be interested.
Question: Are minor league free agents that have already signed with teams still in play?
Answer
Yes, everyone on the list is still in play

Maybe you should explain how you want the draft to be conducted

We need to get everyone involved
to recommend this post, so it can stay up at the top, or at least everyone bookmark it so we can get this done.

is it too late to sign up?
I’ll play. Doesn’t matter which team, and I can pick last if we’ve started drafting already

A noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense, most people think that noob is a word used only in the online gaming world, but in reality it is becoming an ever popular word with teenage society.
a noob could be simply a level 100 running round shouting ‘’WTF DO I GO!?’’ or someone calling someone else a noob and then getting hit with a brick, anyone can call anyone a noob, but normally they are noobs themselves

Irony
The irony is that the next pick belongs to the guy who started this post
