Shifting Sands LG., AD has run. Waivers run Fri., 5pm EST!

[Treyomo]

In light of the Johnson and Washington rules, I will allow Walter as an exception. Of course, this just sets us up for someone bragging that they have the biggest Johnson.

[Treyomo]

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.
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.
5. he's meat - each team must have one, and only one JOHNSON at all times.
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. (WAS-EXP does NOT count).
7. miduar - catchers cannot have a "1" injury rating, and MUST leadoff
8. treyomo - Uneven Steven - no pitchers allowed with a balance rating of E - the biggest Johnson (Walter) is allowed as an exception
9. OakAth72- Left, Right, and Small....All East Teams play in Penmar, Central in Hilltop, West in Forbes '57.
10. Jamesgang77 - All relievers at .75 cents maximum.
11. Paul_Long71 - Of your starting 8 guys, your top HR hitter, whoever has the most on their "real life stats" not simulated stats, must bat in the 9th spot in the order.
12. Camsport75 (with Dad) - Every team must have two players with the same initials for his first and last name (example - Joe Jackson and Goose Goslin).

Honestiago, am I understanding your theme correctly? We can ONLY have 15 hitters on our roster, no more or less, at any time (in order to keep the 5/5/5 setup), throughout the season?

[GFDWARF07]

140M, DH, Waivers, 5/10/20, Adv

PW has been sent to other three east teams via PM

Last one in send to the Central


My head hurts and my team is a fragile balance, so stay away from my Johnson! :lol:

[GFDWARF07]

There is one thing I will predict about the AutoDraft: There will be blood!

[MEAT]

thanks treyomo, that settles the Johnson debate. need an answer on honestiago about 5,5,5, before I can set my draft card, (to be ravaged by you weasley rascals) and join the east.

[quote:cbc09a8478="modmark47"]Just a Commish comment about whether you can have more than the required two double letter players on your roster. First priority in a SS theme league is always that everyone have the ability to fulfill the 12 theme requirements. A team can not [i:cbc09a8478]hoard[/i:cbc09a8478] players that others need to meet their needs. So, if there were only 25 double letter players (for example), I could not put 8 on my team, and use the other 5 or 6 to force trades among the teams needing those players. Having past SS theme experience, this is a "gentlemens agreement" in these themes. Take what you need, use what you want, as long as there are enough required player cards to go around. If there are plenty, and the creator of the individual theme has no problem with it, than it's fine.[/quote:cbc09a8478]

I would love to see someone try to hoard two double letter players and still meet the other 11 requirements!

Though I know there are thousands of possibilities, I couldn't help but think toward the end of assembling my team that I was down to the last options to make it work in a couple cases.

This has got to be 2/3 of the fun of the league!

Thanks for resurrecting the concept!

You know, we really screwed this up. We should have done a live draft, and THEN randomized the divisions and parks!! These leagues are always fun. Thanks modmark.
