Right now I am planning on contracting the Red Sox, Royals, Tigers, Nationals, Astros, and Giants. The Pirates will also be moving to the AL Central to even out the divisions at 4 teams each. That will give us the following alignment.
AL East
Bluejays-Foster
Devil Rays-Open
Orioles-OM
Yankees-DH
AL Central
Pirates-Open
Twins-Shadow
Reds-Mission
Whitesox-Open
AL West
Angels-Open
Athletics-Open
Mariners-Open
Rangers-Molina
NL East
Braves-KoZ
Marlins-Open
Mets-Clutch
Phillies-JCBizkit
NL Central
Brewers-TyCobb
Cardinals-Porter
Cubs-cjkalt
Indians-madsheep
NL West
Diamondbacks-mntwinsfan
Dodgers-Slyder
Padres-Leo
Rockies-PhillyFan
For the contraction draft I will be assigning a number, 1-24, to each team in alphabetical order. The numbers will then be used to determine a random draft order. Once the draft order is determine, as usual, teams with GM's will receive priority over teams without a GM. For the contraction draft, the draftees will not be signed until regular FA is over. That way they will be signed for much less, but also for 1 year contracts. It will be up to the GM as to whether or not they resign the drafted player before the end of the season.
That's is the plan as it stands right now. What do you all think?
