This is the reverse of the Under/Over $4 million theme league now running. In that one, all hitters are under $4 million and all starting pitchers are over $4 million.

This one will have all pitchers under $4 million (except for one stud) and a squad of hitters who either cost over $4 million or under $1 million.

There will be unique stadiums chosen via lottery (high to low). The draft order of the "stud" pitcher will also be based on lottery and will be in reverse order of the stadium draft (so the guy who has the 1st pick in the stadium list will have the last pick in the "stud" draft). After selection of stadium/stud, your team will be selected via autodraft. Division placements will be according to lottery too.

Other Rules

1. Every team must carry a 25 Man Roster (minimum) for the entire season.

2. Your stud pitcher may be dropped or traded, but every team must carry one and only one over-$4 million pitcher at all times. (This is different from the current league.)

3. DH LEAGUE.

4. Your stud pitcher must be placed at the bottom of your autodraft card.

5. Only two catcher-eligible players per team.

If you have any additional thoughts on rules -- don't be shy.

After players in the current league re-up for this one, we'll open any available spots to the 80's community at large.

Nice theme. My sugestion is studs cannot be dropped, but if you do it must be for a sub 4 million dollar guy.

I think if you trade your stud you do not have the option to pick up an additional one. This way there will never be more than 12 stud pitchers in the league.

You can trade a stud in a deal including another stud. That way a team can never have more than one over-$4 million pitcher at a time. Does that work?

Pillpop, that works re: trading, but I agree with YF's sugestion that "studs cannot be dropped, but if you do it must be for a sub 4 million dollar guy." This way, only 12 $4M+ pitchers will be used.
