2-4-8 Draft & Analysis Topic

2-4-8 Draft, $110M 
This league will have a 6-round draft (modified serpentine, 1-24, 24-1, 24-1, 1-24, 24-1, 1-24). The draft order will be determined randomly. You will draft two franchises and four seasons. You can select either a franchise or season in any of the six rounds. Individual seasons (1901-2014) can be selected only once. Franchises (Senators/Twins = one franchise) can be selected up to three times. At the end of the draft, you will combine the franchises and seasons to give you eight teams (2 x 4= 8) to choose your players from.

For example, if my seasons were 1927, 1935, 1961, 2013 and my franchises were Yankees and Pirates, I will build my roster using players from 1927 Yankees, 1927 Pirates, 1935 Yankees, 1935 Pirates, 1961 Yankees, 1961 Pirates, 2013 Yankees & 2013 Pirates.  There is no rule of how many players per team you must use.

You may use expansion teams, but keep in mind you may end up with fewer than eight choices if you select a season before the expansion teams came into existence. There will be no 300K exception, so keep that in mind when making your selections.

The DH will be in use.

I have asked two different people to randomize the owners list and the numbers 1 thru 24.  I will sync up these two random lists to determine the draft order.  Once I post the draft order, we can start drafting.  Remember to site-mail the next couple in line after you post your pick.

Here are the results of the randomizations...
