S3SL Loophole Week: Deadline 7/20 at 8 PM EST
If you follow the international scene, you might recall the Reds essentially found a loophole to sign Dominican super stud prospect Juan Duran before the international signing period. Well, this is based on the same premise. This week, all teams are eligible to enter in drafting one of two franchise defining players, but unlike Duran, they are 100% developed and ready for MLB player.
The players are:
C/SS/CF Javier "The Mustache" Barbosa (17 years old)- 8-10-10-9-8, full speed, top notch range, and can play any position up the middle.
SP Amador "The Bull" Ramirez (18 years old)- 10-9-10, 10 endurance, a lefty, multiple pitches, 98-100mph velocity
Here is the catch with both though, no matter what they sign to, I will edit both contracts to be 10 years at 9 mil a season. When you consider the signing bonuses, the fact several of those years would have been cheap due to arbitration and so on... I think for the talent, the age, etc, it's a fair deal.
And secondly, both have a complete no trade clause in their deal until 2034.
----
This is how it will work. If you want to be eligible to participate, you will need to create 10 quality threads by the deadline date and time. These would need to be threads that involve some thought from you and would hopefully encourage discussion from others. All created threads must be made in one of the baseball forums (so no sim leagues or off-topic forums.)
You can however skip out on three threads if you make at least 30 posts in the ASG discussion thread that someone will make tomorrow. So if you make 30 posts while watching the game and discussing it there, you would need only 7 threads elsewhere.
As an added incentive, if you have had a team who has been below .500 for two seasons in a row and you participate, I will double your team's odds. Like I said, I would like for these players to be franchise makers so I want the smaller teams to feel encouraged to participate.
*end wall of text*
Summary
1.) All teams are allowed to participate.
2.) To enter, you need either to create 10 threads in the baseball or team forums, or 7 threads plus 30 posts on an ASG discussion thread.
3.) Teams who enter will be randomly selected. The first team will have first pick and the second team will be left with whoever was not selected of the two.
4.) Teams who are below .500 will have two entries in the selection, to double their chances.
5.) All teams who enter must have at least 9 million dollars in FA cash to cover the first contract year.
6.) Contracts for both players will be 10 years at 9 million dollars per.
7.) Both players cannot be traded until the 2034 season, no exceptions.
