Guys, I wanted to get a fun/challenging/thought provoking/kick as s ATG league going.

I didn't wanna have 500 choices @ C or SS.

I wanted guys to think where they were going to go. This may mean using a player that you might not normally use just to fulfill a required category.

So while I'm open to tinkering a little, I'd like to try and stay close to this theme. It's kind of like a modified shuffle league. If you want to have access to more players, this league may not be for you.

Initially I thought about using random parameters for the league. ie. DOUBLES category was from 10-30, HITS from 125-200, HR's from 15-30 etc...

I count 25+ SP* with ERA under 1.8 (and plenty of RP), and similar SP* with WHIP under 1 :?:


Sorry-I was looking at an existing league and probably hit available pitchers instead of all pichers.
