When you fill out your draft list to create your team, because you have "claimed" the entire pool of hitters with last names starting with two distinct letters, and the entire pool of pitchers with last name starting with the two distinct letters, there is no competition for your players No one else can claim them. So, there will be NO waivers. You can, of course, drop and pick up players and form your roster for opening day, BUT the only player pools you will be able to choose from are those of your letters.
Trust me. It works. IF everyone sticks to their claimed letters, everyone will get every player they chose. If there is a mistake, managers would have to drop players that are not owned by them.
On the Ruth question, when "R" is claimed as a hitter, THAT person would get the Ruth, Woods etc. Sorry for any confusion.
