I’m a Cubs fan. I really hope we keep the start at the original 1941 date, I’ve always wanted to do a “what if” league where players didn’t go to war. We already did a start in the 50’s with this league

We already did a start in the 50’s with this league Kinda being selfish with this sort of though. If the league is to start in 1941 your talking about leaving 14 teams out. That means atleast 10 gm's here are without a spot... |

Starting with 24 in 1941 in a fantasy expansion instead of war would be cool af, make it exactly like a normal expansion draft with only 10 protections.

one of the things Chris and I have discussed is making the sims 10 days each (one 11 day sim for months with 31 days) so a month takes 3 sims And if a player gets injured at the beginning of those sims? No thx. |

No thx. I’m in agreement here. I’m prob good with the regular sims, too. If we could find a schedule that has us sim everyday with the usual 7-8 game sim, then that’s what I would be more on board for tbh |

League parity would be off the charts Not sure how league parity would be off the charts? your still going to have 8 expansion franchises that don’t get the ability to protect 10 players. That’s a lot of protection. |

You literally can't be satisfied. Stop talking. You take an expansion franchise then. Make sure you don’t take a team that is getting to keep its 10 best players. |

so Chis sorta agrees with me there should be 24 teams no matter when we start. My latest suggestion was 1950 everyone gets to reserve 10 players on their team and the 8 other teams get to draft till they get 25 players, but no team can be reduced below 25. the question if we did say 1950, what would be the additional 8 teams? NYM ATL TOR KCR FLA SEA are the tops of the top of my head that seems to have fans here in the GM pool The Braves will exist regardless what city they start… …2 huge Jays’ fans… …Is Fish actually a Marlins fan? They seem to be a cuttable team... …For posterity’s sake I like the idea of directly chronological by oldest team, but it means the ‘77 teams miss the cut and they have a lot of fans. Just swap out the Expos for Jays maybe? I want the marlins |

had a feeling I really want the Yankees but seem to be taken already I don’t think any teams are actually taken at this point. we will need to figure out a way for people to put in their top 2 or 3 and see what type of lottery system we can do for team selection. |
