[quote:c6d7ef46af="rosenthm"]LOL! This is a great idea for a theme. And should be equally frustrating for all managers. Who will be the greatest "Screw-ge" for this Holiday season?

One question, I thought from the initial explanation that we needed to define a specific position for our designated player. I see that Stone was picked as an OF...that gives Novie 3 places to play him. Can we designate a specific OF position? Not a big deal, but it could make a difference for some..ie...if you say CF for a Yankee outfielder that means Mantle could only play DH.[/quote:c6d7ef46af]

[quote:c6d7ef46af="FAaron"]This player must be worth $3 million or more, must be a position player, most be on one of your opponent's 4 team rosters, and will have to start every game at one of the position's on his card (except for when he is on the DL). Oh yeah, and this player cannot be used as a DH. So, if you have the Cubs and your opponent puts Riggs Stephenson on your squad, you have to start him in LF or 3B.

I would interpret that as no, you cannot dictate what position the player has to play.

Wow. A $5M, 600 PA catcher. Wish I could get "screwed" like that ;)

[rosenthm]

A tough call for me, but Tenace is a defensive "4" at all three positions he plays. And in the past he has underperformed for me. In a 125MIL league I'd sure be starting Cochrane at catcher for defense and bat. Maybe he'll play 2nd base instead of Collins or 1st base in place of Foxx...wherever he starts the A's will have a defensive liability that has less risk of injury and he'll take the spot of a better player. Something tells me most of us are going to have a "4" in our starting lineup.

Not that I feel like I have to explain my choice.... :)

[novie]

are we ever going to finish loading the current event? been waiting on the central to finish for 5 days!

[rosenthm]

Novie, Idanred posted a message in league email saying he couldn't load until Monday....
