The Iron Glove League is NOW LOADING!

Hope this helps...

Some random examples:

Pete Kozma. He can play the field @ 2B since he's a 4 there. Or he can DH since he's a 3 @ SS. He CANNOT play the field @ SS. If HAL uses him during the 3 games played @ night, so be it.

Andre Ethier. Cannot be used ANYWHERE. (3 in CF and a 2 in RF)

Matt Carpenter. Can be used in the field @ RF/LF & 2B. OR can DH. He CANNOT play the field @ 1B or 3B.

Allen Craig. Can be used as a DH or fielder anywhere.

Mark Trumbo. See above


When all is said and done, you'll have 8 position players with a 4 or worse defensive rating. Their backups must be 4's as well. HAL will shift players around during the 3 games run @ night, and a player with multi-positions could end up with a "better" defensive rating at a position. ie. A 4 rated player injured and a 2 or 3 rated backup moved to his spot.

If the injured player is out for more than a nights games, you must MANUALLY enter a 4 backup for him.

ie. Pujols (@ 3B where he's a 4) goes down for 3 games, in the 3rd game of the night. HAL has Jose Batista (3 @ 3B) come in. Joey Bats plays out the game. The next day since Pujols is still out 3 games, you must put Bautista back in RF and substitute your 4 or worse defender @ 3B.

"Ransom: ss-4e8 / 3b-3e37 / 2b-4e14 / 1b-4e25
Fontenot: 2b-3e34 / 3b-4e37

etc. etc.

They don't have to be 4's all across the board, do they?"

OK. No they don't. Ransom can DH or play SS, 2B or 1B ONLY.
Fontenot can DH OR play 3B.

Well, I pretty much figured it that way. But I didn't anticipate having to own a 4 backup at every single position at all times. That seems a bit cumbersome, when the overall impact is so low. But no worries, we'll adhere regardless.

Four to go now. I'm not in any leagues with these four, so if you have them, give 'em a shout.

Well, I pulled my team out to double check some players, and now I can't get back into my own league. I enter the password, the box says "correct", but my team doesn't join the league.

Is there some trick to this?

Well, this time I punched the return key instead of clicking on the submit box, and it seems to have worked.

Still waiting on four...although the MoFos will be in this evening, so I guess we're down to three. Anybody have contact with Frank, Jim and/or AK??

Down to Frank and Jim...

My team will be loaded in the next 30 minutes...

I am warming up in the bullpen and waiting on Visick to call the pen to have me close out the game. They don't call me Mo at work for nothing!!!!

Never tried this theme before, I'm looking forward to it! My team name is a reflection of their fielding range...

Jim Z to close...
