New Autodraft Theme League - Thieves Delight

Gentlemen -

Who pines for the days when the stolen base meant something, when managers didn't wait for the 3-run HR, before the days of Pete Incaviglia and Adam Dunn and Bob Horner? Boy, do I have the theme for you. Welcome to Thieves Delight!

The autodraft rules are a little convoluted, but they are intended to make you design a team that is powerless to stop the stolen base.

- $80M, DH, waivers, 10% waiver hit
- No pitchers with hold better than +2: there are 144 SPs and 105 RPs in the set that qualify
- No catchers with arm better than +1: 87 catchers qualify
- All other lineup players (except C): Minimum steal rating "B", min run rating 15 - every position has at least 50 eligible players at their primary position except 1b, which only has 35 primary who fit that but plenty of secondary
- Stadiums: Must choose one of the following 12 stadiums - max combined L/R HR rating 6, min combined L/R singles rating 22:

Royals Stadium '78
Royals Stadium '80
St. Louis '20
Washington Park (NeL)
Palace of the Fns '11
Crosley Field '41
Kauffman Stadium '05
Forbes Field '11
Terrapin Park (NeL)
Forbes Field '65
Forbes Field '57
League Park '11


Total of 790 hitters fit the qualifications (87 catchers, 700+ other)

So, if you're interested in a speed league, jump on in and join.

Not to sound dumb but the higher the hold # number the worse the pitcher is at holding a runner on. So, we want pitchers whose rating is 2+ or higher.

I think I answered my question, Mitsh Williams hold rating Is +7, so high must be bad.
