The NML is a Strat-O-Matic baseball league,
entering its 21st season. We expanded to 16 teams in 2006, but we are always
looking for new enthusiastic managers willing to face a challenge. This is a
salary format league, utilizing contracts, free-agency, protected farm systems,
soft salary cap, and bonus point system based on team performance. We also
implement a division realignment every year, similar to that of English Premier
Football (Soccer). We have a great group of guys that enjoy spirited
competition.
Congratulations to Jon Gordon and the 2020
Darwin Cup Champion Worcester Tornadoes!!


Due
to the COVID 19 pandemic there have been some one time rule adjustments
pertaining to eligibility requirements and player usage for the 2021 season
only. These adjustments to the rules can be found at the top of the By-Laws
page.
The 2021 bidding wars are done, hope
you all enjoyed it and got all your holes filled without taking too bad a
beating. Next up is your free agent decisions, the guidelines are posted below
and need to be in to Seth by Sunday March 7th no later than 10 pm. As always
Seth did another great job running the free agent draft again this year, Thanks
Seth your hard work is greatly appreciated.
FA
Results
I will give
you all until Sunday night 10pm EST
to make your decisions. Of course,
the sooner the better. All FA
decisions must be made at that time.
Trading is
re-opened.
For non-bid FAs, either release them for
250 pts or sign them. I will take all
other roster decisions also. The sooner
you get me your roster decisions, the
sooner I can set up the General Draft
site. Decisions need to be made on all
players with a '0' in Column D. At that
point, you must be below the salary
cap. Please make all roster decisions by
Tuesday 3/9.
Do not make quick decisions to release
your non-bid RFAs since there may be
interest in them as things sort their
way out. Once you announce a release, it
cannot be rescinded.
For bid FAs, you may either match the
bid or release the player to the winning
team for compensation. You may either
take a compensatory draft pick as below
or take 500 pts.
Annual Bid Salary Pick
10,000+ points First &
Second Round Compensation Picks
6,000 – 9,999 points First Round
Compensation Pick
3,000 – 5,999 points Second Round
Compensation Pick
1,500 – 2,999 points Third Round
Compensation Pick
Less Than 1,500 points Fourth Round
Compensation Pick
When posting your decision please make
sure you say what you are choosing for
compensation. Also if you do not
indicate the contract, it will be the
bid contract.
I will do my best to update the roster
file after decisions are made and will
be using stratdraft for the general
draft again. It does take a while to get
that set up, so be patient. I am
targeting the week of the 15th for the
General Draft
