Bad Defense League - FULL - THANKS!

28 is fine by me.

You have to be really careful about making the SS/2B/CF positions too restrictive. There aren't many 3s/4s at those positions to choose from. See for yourself, go to the player pool and look to see how many 3/4 Center Fielders there are that have CF as their primary position and ARE NOT rated lower at some other position. Let alone SS or 2B.

I agree.

We really limit the player pool if we count a players best fielding rating as opposed to where we play him. We did a similar theme a few years ago (not quite as restrictive) and very rarely did Hal make switches because of injury that improved our defence.

Just throwing this out there.

I'm ok with 28 too, I think if we agree to play our starting 8 (platoons as well) up to or greater than that total, even if there are some guys who would upgrade defense if HAL moves them we will still accomplish the objective of this league. The other time I played in this type of league HAL did not upset the apple cart to often, because we did not use the def replacement aspect of the hitter or mgr strategy pages.

1. The eight position players can't add up to less than 28 as rated at their best position
2. no bench player less than a 4 (unless you are working a platoon and you would have abide by rule 1. in any case.)
3. Your 2B, SS, CF can add up to no less than 10

So for clarity. Total 28, with SS 2B, and CF minimum 10? When I posted the middle restrictions (SS, 2B, CF), my thought was still with a total of 25. 28 is fine by me, but I thought it would mean having a 1 at LF or RF or 3B, with 4's up the middle being an odd theme that we've not played before. Sorry I didn't express this more clearly earlier.

Correct -
28 total
10 total up the middle

Assuming everyone goes with 10 up the middle that leaves 18 for 5 other spots.

Did we finalize the availability of players that we play at a position that isn't his best fielding position? Like playing Gil Hodges at 3rd, for example?

I am wondering the same thing.

The 28 pts should count a players best rating at any position. Otherwise it requires constant attention from the league. As the season wears on and someone has a bad record and loses interest in their team, the computer makes an injury switch and now the team is non-compliant for 15 games.
