"THOSE WERE THE DAYS" LEAGUE

4 pure relievers needed. He'll have to drop 3 uncarded players I think.

Damn, you're right! I've been playing ATG lately, where only 3 RPs are required.

Anybody know if a C0 rating counts as the required closer? willmurr has 2 guys with C0, but none at C1 or above

I didn't think a closer is required but not 100% sure about that.

I think this will do it drop two noncards McGowan and Westbrook ,put Erstad back on roster pick RP James McDonald who I believe is on no ones roster

Can I get Alex Cora for my last Pick

willmurr dropped 8 players prior to the draft, so he could have dropped 2 more and still be following the rules.

Of the 8 who were dropped, there are 5 who are not carded in 2009. That leaves 3 who could go back on his roster:
Josh Fields, 3B/1B
Wes Helms, 3B/1B
Darin Erstad, 1B/LF/RF

With 13 position players on his roster, including the uncarded Grudzialanek, that leaves 12 carded, so 2 of the 3 above need to be reinstated.

The 15 pitchers on the roster included 4 uncarded, so the total of 11 carded is okay, but the mix is wrong. There are only 3 pure RP and a 4th one is needed. None of willmurr's previously dropped players qualify, so one more draft pick is needed.

So, to revise my "simple" solution:

I propose that willmurr
- increase his original drop total from 8 to 10, by letting go of 2 of the 5 uncarded ones
- bring back 2 position players who were dropped inappropriately, to get to 14 carded ones

- drop Bruce Chen, his most recently drafted SP
- draft 1 more pure RP, instead

Can I get Alex Cora for my last Pick

Yup!

sounds reasonable and let's look out for this in future years as some of these front-half of the league guys start to come to an end in their careers. gonna be tough for those of us who geared up for the front 1/2 of the league.
