NABL Teams Ballot

[JL]

Below is a list of items that will be voted on for our Fantasy League Baseball league which will take effect in 2011. If it does not appear on the list below, it will not be voted on. I don't like to make lots of changes from year to year and I will only implement a change should an overwhelming majority (70%-80%) want the change to be made.

It is my hope that you will use this board to discuss the items (pros/cons) and even introduce new topics which could get added to the ballot.

There's already a thread started about the pros and cons of Auction Drafts. To familairize yourself with how it works,

In an Auction Style draft, since everyone has the same salary cap ($260), you can keep as many of your players as you want and then just use the draft to fill out the rest of our team!

Of course, if you think Pujols is priced too high, you can release him and try to get him cheaper in the draft!
