Iron Gloves & Gopher Balls - Full

Our Mystery Card games - The '70s Game, Back to the '80s, Back to the '90s

Rules Recap

Postby pwootten » Mon Nov 02, 2009 8:44 pm

Here's the rundown:

The draft list includes the worst 110 pitchers in terms of WHIP and the worst 145 defensive postion players. The list can be seen here:

- I also have the eligible player list in Excel format. PM me if interested.

- Each manager will draft 20 Iron Gloves and/or Gopher Ballers. The remaining 15 players will be available for free agent acquisition during the season. You can draft any combination of hitters and pitchers. It's up to you.

- Each manager will also draft 4 additional players - anyone you want. Pitchers, hitters, whatever. The sky's the limit. Morgan, Schmidt, whoever.

- Your 4 additional players can be drafted during any round of the draft.

- Trades and roster moves are allowable at any time, but Iron Gloves and Gopher Ballers can only be exchanged for other Iron Gloves and Gopher Ballers. Your four additional players can be swapped out as you see fit.

Now the fine print:
- All teams will carry 24 players.
- $80M, No DH, 5/10/20 Waivers, serpentine draft.
- 25-round draft on somdraft.com - 24 Players and Stadium. We won't be in a big rush, but we do want to keep it moving. I am always happy to text managers when their turn comes up.
- Only 1 or 2 Iron Glove catchers per team.

Draft Order (Thanks allnemo in ATG)

I didn't think I'd get one of the 2 guys I was hoping to get in round 1 once I saw my draft position. Now that Carew is gone, it's only a matter of time before my other guy gets taken. =(

Don't worry, Voovits. With the mystery card, even the potentially worst player could turn out to be decent or even great. Well, most of them anyway.

Even Luis Alvarado? Even Jim Mason?

I did say MOST of them. Obviously, some are beyond hope.

I think there is a glitch with the draft. After my pick (Lopes) the next two choices were Bench and Morgan, who are both obviously not Iron Gloves.
