Deadbeat Dad: Jun 3, 2005; the trad games jinho

Hello, it's your boy Deadbeat Dad back at it again with a BYOG game. This will be the second edition of a baseball one I've ran, previously running two other basketball ones as well, the most recent basketball one can be found here, I can't find the baseball one for some reason but it was fun times.

However, this one will be a little bit different. There won't be any draft.

Are you a bad enough dude to take a randomized team in OOTP to the championship?

The Premise/Rules

You sign up for a MLB team in your post, please also include if you are able to receive private messages or if you have an e-mail.
I will do a randomly ordered fantasy draft on OOTP 2017 where you guys will be assigned a random collection of players.
I will post updates (usually in the format of a week or a few days).
You can control what you want your lineups and pitching rotation/order will be.
I can give stats of any players you ask for, just try to keep it manageable, if you want your whole team I'll post a screenshot.
You will be able to trade players if you want to! You may talk to other teams in private messages or e-mails.
I will provide a list of random free agents and it will be first come first serve, to claim a player you must drop one.
Likewise, if you trade players please confirm it in the thread as well as the other team.
If you do a 2 for 1 trade, or 3 for 2, the player receiving more players will have to drop a player to accommodate.
Winner will receive an SA cert for anything $10 or less.

Yeah I'd be fine with injuries too. Getting crushed by injuries two weeks in is a defining aspect of baseball.

my biggest issue with injuries on is where would the replacements come from? Would the minor leagues be intact?

The nice part about a fantasy draft is he can do it for a lot of rounds. I would like this since the ai could leave useful players undrafted in just a 40 round draft (with a promise that we the owners won't overdo the micro-adjustments). Plus, we don't want to end up with a league without mune...

Okay I had good luck in the OOTP be a player series so why not.

I'll take the Reds I guess since they don't seem to be taken. Here's hoping I don't get the base-clogger Votto.

PMs are a yes.
