Owner Interview: Geese2128

Los Angeles Blue Crew

WIS Name: geese2128
First Name: Doug
Home State: Ohio
Age: 38

What do you do when you’re not playing HBD or working?:
Golf, way way to much golf.

Favorite Teams:
Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals & The Miami Hurricanes.

Choose 4 people you’d like to hang out with for a night (why?):
Bill Clinton(fairly sure we all know why), Peter Edward Rose(listening to story after story after story), Roger Clemens(childhood sports hero), Adriana Lima(VS Angel).

Funniest or dumbest thing that you have done in last few years:
This last Saturday. Went to the Ohio State/Penn State game in Columbus but the tickets were still in Cincinnati. Now I owe a HUGE favor as I had to talk a friend into driving up our tickets.

Most Memorable WIS moment:
Completing my first full season in WIS knowing it could only get better from there...

HBD owner that you respect/fear the most (Why?):
Mikebr13 in my other league, Majors. Just seems like every single season he is able to make a trade or acquisition that makes his Team substantially better.

If you could change one thing about Sweet Lou, what would it be?:
More good clean smack talk between Division rivals. First weeks LA Times headline: Los Angeles Blue Crew starts season(8) 7-0 after completing sweeps in Salt Lake & Salem!

If you could change one thing about HBD what would it be?:
Coach contracts would last longer than 1 year. Worse part of the season is wasting time fighting over minor league coaches. Also, I do not have any brilliant ideas on how but the Draft should & could be so much better.

HALL OF CHAMPIONS

Sweet Lou World Rules

The commish of Sweet Lou is Willsauve.
World Rules-

Win Floor: 55/125/190

If an owner violates the anti-tanking rules, they may appeal. They can make their case to the world committee and state why they should be allowed to stay. The committee will then vote the fate of that owner., if allowed back you will still need to make the next win floor. Example: if you win 50 games in season 1 and are allowed back you will need to win 75 in season 2. A world committee will be set up by the commish. It will be made up of 4 owners, 2 from the AL and 2 from the NL. The committee will vote on rules violations as well as admission to the world if / when vacancies occur. In case of a voting tie, then the commish will cast the tie breaking vote.

Each owner only gets one appeal, after that a violation results in expulsion from the world. If a committee member quits or gets kicked out, then the commish will appoint a replacement committee member. If the commish quits or gets kicked out, then the committee will appoint a new commish. All owners are expected to keep their minors stocked, to avoid fatigue problems. Above all the owners will be held to the WIS HBD fairplay rules.

Budget limits:

Payroll: 115 Max

Prospect: 30 Max

Prospect Payroll can NOT exceed 30 million. (Example, if you budget 20 million for Prospect Cash, then you can only transfer in up to another 10 million).

Penalty - The player or players that are signed by going over the cap are inactivated for all of their first season so they don't develop and they are also added to the 40 immediately so they burn up all of their option and have to waive the player to pull them off.

HS/Col Scout: 10 Min Combined (you can go 0 in one if you go atleast 10 in the other)

Adv Scout: 10 Min

Medical: 10 Min

Training: 10 Min

Must use at least a 4 man rotation. Tandem Pitching staffs are allowed as long as the Tandem A is set to 60+ Target Pitch Count.

Trades: If cash is included in a trade then the cash can NOT exceed the player salary going with it. (Example is player A makes 2 million...you can NOT trade 5 million and the player)

R5 Draft: You must protect your players for the 40 man roster! Plenty of time to do so once budgets are set to protect your players for the Rule V Draft. There will be no "I had something come up, please take pity on me and trade me my player back."

Stadiums:

The following ballparks are banned from the league. Colorado, Santa Fe, Tuscon, San Jose, Burlington ,and Tacoma

All cities will be set from day one and will never change through the life of the world.

All team names must be listed in normal text. No Symbols, No all CAPS.
