The Rules

We have expanded to nine players in 2007, up from the previous five man rosters of years past. There are no position requirements and the entire MLB is available to draft.

Most home runs for the regular season wins. There are no tiebreakers. There are no other statistical categories. We only dig the longball.

Rosters are limited to two changes per year for any reason. Both GMs agree that this is a flexible number based on extenuating circumstances (injury, minor league demotion, performance enhancing drug use, etc.)

The goods at stake - a $20 gift card to the restaurant of the LOSER's choice.

Draft scheduled for March 28.
