Good luck (and I mean it!) to everyone....
A few admin details
We'll use heads-up records to break ties. If we need to go beyond heads-up records I'll be irritated, but if so we'll use run differential as a 2nd tie-break.
Given that each of us have about $180m extra left to spend, add/drops are not only allowable but almost encouraged. If someone can figure out a way to make frequent add/drops lead to losses they are encouraged to use the strategy. Just remember you must be using players rated at each position they play (at least as starters).
A special "dishonorable mention" award will be given to those players selected by HAL as "Cy Young", "MVP" etc. for the league. For instance, the Cy Young Award will be renamed the "Bill Gogolewski Award", named in honor of this pretty darn hideous Texas Rangers pitcher I had to watch as a fan back in the early 1970s. For the same reasons, the MVP Award has been renamed the "Vic Harris Award". Unfortunately not included in the ATG III set, Mr. Harris hit a sparkling .140/.192/.177 IN 186 AT-BATS during the Rangers' inagural 1972 season.
