[quote:80ab277ff4]My sort of the 1975 closers with a +3 rating shows 23 pitchers. Although it looks like only 5 had more than 20 saves, there seems to be a good selection. At least 14 have a WHIP of 1.20 or less...there's Fingers, Gossage, Hrabosky, Eastwick, McGraw. More than enough for each team to have 1 or 2. [/quote:80ab277ff4]
There are 40 including the HOF'ers. (I know using W.Johnson, etc. for a closer would be odd, because that's not how he was used in "real life," but it could be done.) Not sure if I understand the dislike for the closer rules. I think '75 was a very deep year for "regular" players...adding HOF'ers makes the draft that much deeper. I would think that using the closer rules would make the draft and replay more interesting.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
We're also split evenly for using injuries.
