Subject: SMILEY changes for 1970

Effective with the 1970 draft/season, a couple of changes to SMILEY are
planned:

1. Beginning immediately after the 1969 draft is complete (that's when
trading can resume), draft picks are able to be traded. Only picks in the
upcoming draft may be dealt. That is, during the 1969 trading period, picks
in the 1970 draft can be traded, but not picks in 1971 or any subsequent
drafts.

Warning: Remember that in order to claim a player, a team spends its #1
pick - so if you deal your #1 pick away, you cannot claim any player that
year. Also, acquiring another team's #1 pick does NOT mean you can claim a
player from that team's list.


2. Effective with the 1970 season, we will be using "fringe players".
Those are players which Strat does not card in a season, but who played
enough (at least 30 PA for hitters or 20 IP for pitchers) to potentially
make a difference. These standards will be used in future seasons as well;
at no time will all players be carded. I will create (or otherwise acquire)
these players' cards each year. Anyone who wishes to help out, feel free to
volunteer. :-)

Adding fringe players will enable us to have expanded rosters (up to 35 in
1970), acquire free agents during a season (since there will be players left
over after we draft; we'll only draft up to 32-man rosters), and best of all
we'll have more realistic usage limits, because we will reduce the 115%
inflation factor gradually as we evaluate the amount of PA/IP required to
get through seasons with the expanded rosters. The inflation factor will be
dropped to 110% (or possibly a little lower) for 1970. The GS rule for
starting pitchers remains the same as in 1968.

The fringe players are mostly additional rookies, or players you already own
who would otherwise be uncarded. The remaining ones are added to our draft
pool.

The Player Status page for 1970 and future seasons (the 1970 page will be
created immediately after the 1969 draft) and the Rookies page will be
updated to reflect these new players, so owners will always know well ahead
of time exactly who they'll be getting for the upcoming season.

In *VERY RARE* cases, the addition of fringe players may cause a
"significant" rookie player to get his first card for a team other than the
one he would have. For example, Gene Garber's first "real" Strat card is
for the 1973 Royals - however his first card in SMILEY will now be for the
1970 Pirates.

I view this "problem" as no problem whatsoever. The Royals may be
disappointed that they will no longer get Garber automatically, but the
facts are that in real life he came up through the Pirates' system - playing
in parts of 3 seasons for them - and the Royals found a way to acquire him
via a trade. If he is really that important to the Royals, they will find a
way to acquire him in SMILEY too.
