All P no D theme league anyone?

Due to unclear rules and what I said all along about someone is going to get screwed somewhere, I am also pulling my team out. When we have better clarification, I will redo my draft list and re-enter.

So if a -arm outfielder can't play in the infield because we don't know what Hal will do, does this mean a guy like Jimmie Foxx can't play 3rd, he is a 3 at first and Hal might move him from 3rd base where he is a 4. Because the draft is key I just want to be clear on the rules.

Good question. Foxx is legal, but...

The total range of IF + C must be 17 or greater. If a player has 2 different IF ranges, like Foxx, you use the best range (3 at 1B for Foxx, not 4) to find your sum, regardless of where you choose to play him. This will be the easiest to monitor, and if HAL chooses to play Foxx at 1B due to injury perhaps, it would assure that your IF + C range would still not drop below 17.

The only time an IF + C range can legally go below 17 is if you have a defensive substitution. Bench players can not have 1 or 2 range on their cards at any position, but if you have a starter with a 4 range at 2B, you can bring in a defensive sub with a 3 range at 2B. I think this will be a fair compromise and don't see this as having that much effect on the total defense. The lowest possible IF/C defensive total after defensive subs is 13. If you choose to have, for example, a 1 at starting catcher, than you will need to start 4s across the IF. If you sub all IFs with 3s, that will get you down to 13 total. I think that is fair for someone should they choose to risk starting 4s across the entire IF for 7-8 innings.

Hope that clears this up. This has been fun! Now I have to go back and check my team.

I resent the password out to everyone who's signed up. We still need two more. Let's do it.

I am out.

Well I certainly hope it wasn't something I said.

So it looks like we need three to move forward. Are there any additional questions about the rules? Does it look like we can have a fair draft? This chain has slowed down quite a bit, either everyone is busy or we have lost interest. Let's see if we can get things rolling again.

Sorry group, I just do not believe this league is gonna get off the ground. It's too bad, because I like the draft card I've filled out. I will watch this post to see if the league fills, but it will have to be without me.

Adios, Mike

If you already have a $120 DH card filled out, consider joining "ONE is the LONELIEST number" A Bad Defensive Theme League with a few spots left and should fill later today.....it's a BIT lighter on the defensive constraints, read the thread to get more details and see if it satisfies your NEED for bad defense

Hey, no poaching. Or we could run a 6 team league. Its kind of disappointing that we can't get 12 people to fill a league

No poaching intended.

Many of us here on the boards join 2 or 3 NEW leagues every week.

No reason why the two leagues need to be mutually exclusive.
