Let's see what the other 6 owners set as their themes. It's possible one may very well incorporate a live draft. If not, and all feel a live draft would be more desirable/easier, I have no problem with it. And, for a SS theme, a Rubik's Cube is a good description. It takes patience and nerves of steel, to put together and manage a team in this theme. I have played in five, I believe, over the years. The theme can be strangely addictive, in a masochistic sort of way. :twisted:

1. Modmark. Theme = Each team must have three position player (not DH) platoons active at all times; injuries don't let you off the hook, so plan accordingly. (24 words).
2. wrz25: Theme = Your SS, 2B, and CF must have a combined fielding rating of 7 or higher. (e.g. SS 2, 2B 2 and CF 3, or SS 1, 2B 3, CF 3, etc)
3. Roosky. Theme - you may only carry one pitcher that is 8 million or more at any given time.
4.honestiago--Balanced Batters--roster of 15; 5 must bat R, 5 left, and 5 are switch hitters (16 words)
5. he's meat - each team must have one, and only one JOHNSON at all times (read into this what you will)
6. gfdwarf07 - At least one member of the starting (hitters) lineup for every game must have come from the WAS-DB, WAS-pre, WAS-post or MN-exp rosters, even considering injuries (26 words)
7. miduar - catchers cannot have a "1" injury rating, and MUST leadoff
8.

10.

12.

Meaning there is a premium on switch-hitting senators/twins franchise players named Johnson.... Survey says: 0

I am a newby to this concept, so tell me if that cuts it.

How is compliance assessed? Honor system I presume...

Sounds fun... And I will go stock up on some Anicin now

I would love to subject myself to another masochistic Shifting Sands experience, but credits are at a premium.

Newbies to the theme will have a great time. Enjoy!
