Please take it easy on a newbie like me. Now, isn't the highest possible fielder rating the way to go? I had 8 "4"s on my last team and for some reason they sucked even though they added up to the highest cumulative fielding score of 32. But then Stupid me realized later that there are some "5"s out there..... so next time I will know I can get up into the mid 30s! Get this........Some of the really stupid managers in one of my leagues had a cumulative fielding rating for their 8 guys add up to 15. HAHAHA.....buncha morons. Somehow they still won.
I can't wait to play against some real vets! YEAH!!

Vek

how is someone who is ranked 70th overall and 10th in 07 placing himself as a Joe?? ;) :P

Hey Kev...I'm sure you took notes last night from the Baltimore bullpen.

Kinda looked familiar no?

Kev choose the Joes because:

JOES RULES:

1. #2 Draft Choice Must be under $4mil (hitter or pitcher)

[i:f01bb12959]He rarely has a player ABOVE $4 million.[/i:f01bb12959]

2. No range rerquirements in OF

[i:f01bb12959]He regularly plays 4's and 5's in the OF.[/i:f01bb12959]


3. Any ballpark okay and not listed beforehand

[i:f01bb12959]He has no idea what ballpark ratings are anyway...[/i:f01bb12959]


4. Drafted team can be up to $80mil/no restrictions

[i:f01bb12959]He generally shoots for a $50 million team anyhow.[/i:f01bb12959]

My one worry is that not enough "Joe's" will sign up, so Kev being a Joe is cool.
