what is a franchise player?
86132
The franchise tag is a tool a team can use to prevent a free agent from going on the open market. By declaring a player a franchise player (you can only name one player this), the team prevents them from going on the open market and promises to pay them a minimum of the average of the top five payed players in the league at that specific position. The tag lasts for one year, but can be used on the same player an unlimited number of times.

A free agent is a player whose contract has expired and is eligible to sign with another team. A restricted free agent is a player for whom another team can make an offer, but his current team is allowed to match that offer. If the current team chooses not to match the offer, it may receive compensation in the form of a draft choice. The NFL awards compensatory picks based on the net loss of restricted free agents. The limit for compensatory picks is four per team. \n\nThe supplemental draft is held after the draft and its more like a auction teams bid for players using the following year's draft pick. if you believe a player is 1st round material in the supplemental draft you bid your 1st rd pick from next year and if you win the player you lose the spot you picked that player at for the following year's draft. The NY Giants did this years ago with Dave Brown. They used a 1st Rd pick in the Supplemental Draft to select hom and did not have a 1st RD pick in the regular draft the following season.

Players are paid what the market offers.  Team owners generally overpay players in fear that the player may sign elsewhere.  I don't have a problem with a football player getting $2 million.  The average career of a football player is 4.5 seasons.  If that player is injured, and cannot work, then I can justify their salary.  As long as we the Suckers, keep buying tickets, jerseys, memorabilia and the like, then pro players will be overpaid.

it means the player would have been a free agent, but the team "taged" him as a franchise player.  They have to pay him the average of the top 5 contracts in the league at his position or 20% of his previous years contract.  Whichever is higher.  He is under contract for only the next year.  The team still can work out a long term deal to keep him longer.

60,000 players according to their web site.  No franchise is perfect or infallable, and you will get out of it exactly the effort you put in to it.  Good luck

It's a added pick at the end of a round that is added when teams lose players to free agency.  Technically it is after the end of the round and before the beginning of the next round, however they are usually considered additional picks at the end of the earlier round.

By professional baseball, we'll go as the real definition.  Someone who is paid to play, including minor leagues.\n\nThat would be Bud Fowler, who was a minor league pitcher in 1878.\nCatcher Fleet Walker was the first Major League player in 1883.\nCharlie Grant was signed by the Baltimore Orioles in 1902 and played in spring training, who claimed his was an Indian in order to get around the color barriers, but was released when the plan was revealed by another owner.\nThen there were all the Negro Leagues, which were considered Professional leagues.\nWhile deserving of praise, Jackie Robinson was the first black baseball player in Major League Baseball (MLB), but not the first professional black baseball player.\n\n(And his number has not been retired by the NY Yankees, since Marino Rivera is still actively wearing it, but will be retired upon Rivera's retirement).

I'm not sure but I can tell you how to figure it out.  Go to the team website and click on the roster link.  A biography should come up, with stats and history.

Sorry, but I don't play video games, so I don't know if this fits your criteria.  I think Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals is one of the purest players I've ever seen.  I'm not a fan of the team, but I think he's an amazing player.

Fantasy baseball is a group of people who get together to make a league. Each person selects the real-life players that he wants on his team through a draft. For instance, if I draft Alex Rodriguez, then no one else in my league can have him. The players on the fantasy teams don't play together in real life at all. My first baseman might play for St. Louis, my catcher might play for Cleveland, my shortstop for Texas, and so on. You get points based on how well the players on your team do. If A-Rod hits three home runs in a day, then I get big points. Different leagues have different ways of keeping score. The team that has the best score at the end of the year wins the league title. Does that make sense?\n\nAs for your second question, a sleeper is a person that other members of your league might not know about, but is someone that you think will do well. Chris Shelton and Zach Duke are good examples of sleepers from the 2005 season. Now a lot of fantasy diehards know about these guys, so they aren't sleepers anymore.

It is a list of players that cannot be just cut from your team.  They must be traded or left on your roster.  The list is determined by Yahoo! "experts" and a player will only be removed when they deem it necessary.  This tool was developed to keep fantasy owners, whose teams were not doing well, from dumping their entire rosters and putting all their players up for grabs on the waiver lists.

The closest answer I could find was the Royals sometime during the 60's. They scored at least 100 points in all but 2 games. They averaged 123.1 points that year which set a franchise record.
