YIKES!!!! Shifting Sands Draft Thread

[spicki17]

meat - i agree w/ your interpretation, but that limits sp/rp's that are in a different decade than the pure sp's to not be included in the starting rotation...so it does limit me from the way i had interpretted the rule before and planned my draft strategy around...

[MEAT]

foggy, send penn an email letting him know phillipe was somehow excluded and needs to be restored, preferably right to giddyup's 7th round pick.

[FoggyOne]

ALL OF YOUR SPS/RPS MUST BE IN THE SAME DECADE. THIS MEANS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (A) SAME DECADE AS SP, (B) SAME DEACADE AS RP, OR (C) A DECADE DISTINCT FROM SP AND RP.


This is what I originally posted. I over-thought the issue and agree that we should stick with simplicity. for sp/rps, must pick one of the 3 alternatives.


For phillippe, just pick the worst .51K starter, name him here as phillipes surrogate and grab him (BUT WATCH YOUR DOLLARS).

[spicki17]

thanks for the clarification foggy. much appreciated.

[FoggyOne]

1 for being african ameican
1 for "r"
1 for "j" ???
1 for "jack" portion of last name coinciding with Jackie Robinson.

3 or 4?

Chris Short --- 1 point for middle name of Joe.

[Munich_Man]

Definitely agree with the :roll:

But I have to say, because of this theme, I've been doing quite a bit more reading on the Negro leagues than I would have, so it's accomplished it's goal!

The last Netplay league I was in we used a Negro league set which included Japanese and Caribbean players as well, that was a lot of fun. I had Cool Papa Bell, "Double-Duty" Radcliffe, and Pablo Mesa on my team, among others. Lots of fun.

Rick, your Conroy pick is illegal, as you have the 80s as your relievers' decade, you need to repick

[spicki17]

conroy is a .5 and therefore exempt of the decade rule.
