Category Theme League/ Live Category Draft

12 positions need to be filled, no NO DH.
12 categories are needed to fill these positions.
So, we'll use Hits/ 2B's/ 3B's/ HR's/ SB's/ BA/ OBP/ SLG for our hitters.
And W / ERA / WHIP / Saves for our pitchers (All SP's must be *SP's)
I'm thinking $ 100-120 million. Open to suggestions/discussions.
Any park you want.
5/10/20% drops (again, open to discussions)
The live draft will be randomized. By the end of the 12 round draft, you MUST have your 8 position players and 4 pitchers as well as your category requirements filled.

The categories:
HITS: 220 +
2B's: 30+
3B's: 18+
SB's: 50+
HR's: 50+
BA: .380+
OBP: .450+
SLG: .650+
Wins: 26+
Saves: 30+
ERA: < 1.80
WHIP: < 1.00

I'm thinking of a draft just like a position draft. We will all get a chance to be #1 in a round. As #1, you call the category. ie. You have the #1 pick in the draft. You take Bonds (SLG). EVERYONE else must use SLG for the rest of that round. You might have the 12 pick in the next round and have no choice but to use the 2's category (as an example).

Any interest?

I have one question. Will each round be randomized except for a player with a previous first choice can't pick first again?

Yes, so I will pick 1st once, last once and 2nd in every other round.

You laugh, but it could happen.

I believe there are some 12 round draft patterns out there that equalize selections, but it wouldn't be hard to create one

"I don't understand what this is"

What don't you get?

We'll draft all player positions PLUS 3 SP's and a RP.
The only caveat is these players have to be within the categorical #'s.

This is what the draft will look like:

ROUND1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
ROUND2: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
ROUND3: 4 5 6 1 2 3 10 11 12 7 8 9
ROUND4: 9 8 7 12 11 10 3 2 1 6 5 4
ROUND5: 5 6 1 2 3 4 9 10 11 12 7 8
ROUND6: 8 7 12 11 10 9 4 3 2 1 6 5
ROUND7: 2 3 4 5 6 1 12 7 8 9 10 11
ROUND8: 11 10 9 8 7 12 1 6 5 4 3 2
ROUND9: 3 4 5 6 1 2 11 12 7 8 9 10
ROUND10:10 9 8 7 12 11 2 1 6 5 4 3
ROUND11: 6 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 7
ROUND12: 7 12 11 10 9 8 5 4 3 2 1 6

We'll get a randomizer run when we fill. From there, you will get your draft number. ie. Say I get the #1 spot. I have the 1st pick in round 1. I have the last pick in round 2. I have the 4th pick in round 3, etc...
I may go with the SLG category in round 1, so ALL the other managers MUST use that 1st round pick for THEIR SLG category.
So if I use that 1st pick in the draft on BONDS (SLG), now my LF spot & SLG category are fulfilled. I have to use the other 11 picks to fill in the other positions dictated to me by the person picking 1st in that round.
