Got both my even guys: Todd Jones and Overbay 8)

Also, I drafted a team of just about all iron guys. All but two have at least 680 P.A.'s or played in all 162...and those two have over 600 P.A.'s. Never had that many before.

IOW, I don't need no freakin' back-ups... :D :wink:

Can't believe Konerko was undrafted, wow.

Remember even players can not be dropped. So if anyone thinking of trying to get Konerko, you can't if you already have an even hitter. Unless he's traded to you for your present even hitter, of course.

I'll look at everything tomorrow. Very tired and headed for bed. See you guys in the morning.

Thanks for filling the league in one day. Great Job! 8)

I drafted M. Young #1 and got him
I drafted T. Jones #9 and got Izzy instead so I still need one of the 2 remaining "even" pitchers.

Well I've got some pieces of the puzzle and I've got my even players so now it's just a matter of trying to turn this thing into a good team.

[Jeepdriver]

Regarding the PLATOON RULE. Simply take it as written. IOW, don't look for loop-holes, or ways to try and have different platoons on your team but only one plays, that kind of thing.

Here's an example:

Team has Schneider/Pratt as their C platoon. All other 8 positions (incl. DH) must be a F/T regular, with no one on the bench to platoon with that player. Say Pratt gets injured. Unless you drop/trade Pratt that C position remains your one platoon even though Pratt's hurt. See?

Now if you trade or drop Pratt and want the platoon to be a different position, that would be ok. Schneider could now be F/T w/another pos. being the DH.

Lastly, you "can" have a reserve platoon. For example, Polanco is your 2B and he goes down for 15 games. You have Harris/Jimenez on the bench. It would be OK for Harris/Jemenez to platoon while Polanco is injured. But, ONLY while he's injured and only while he remains on your roster of course. If you dropped Polanco for another 2B, then obviously those reserves would still be reserves.

Even though it took a lot of explaining, it's pretty clear cut, this platoon issue.
