Drafting strategy for $100M league

[JEFFFESPERMAN]

Having never played with the payroll cap, I thought I would seek the council of more experience managers who had. My assumption is that these teams function pretty much like the standard $80M teams, but you see more all-stars in the starting lineups and pitching rotations. Is my logic valid or have I missed something due to inexperience?

A little more offense. You also have the ability to take chances on high injury guys. More platoons also.

Thanks for the advice Stoney. I look forward to battling you on the Tour.

As opposed to a $80 mil league, where bargains players will often get nabbed in the opening rounds, the extra cash allows you to concentrate on the high-priced talent at the top of your draft card. Might be useful to keep in mind when you're putting together your draft card.

Totally agree with Coffeeholic on stocking up on upper-end talent. I was reading posts about a month ago that no one had taken Grady Sizemore for $10.81m -- difficult to do in a $80M but can be done in $100M and he does perform. That is one example.
