1. First of all how many draft rounds are there? I was under the impression that some of this was going to be auto draft.
2. There seem to be a lot of people grumpy about the player pool. "Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!!" I thought we had a "Big Tent" here where everyone could find something they want. I think everyone needs to watch the Battered Bastards of Baseball documentary. It gave me some perspective as to why I love baseball and why I like to play SOM online. There is a thread and a link on the ATG board. It seems as if many of us have gotten very bitter and jaded (myself included) over the last couple of years. Lets just have some fun! Play ball!

Yeah. I guess the cat is out of the bag, I'm going 5-man rotation. Seemed like a good anachronism to insert into the league.

Lanier, I think we're drafting 8 regulars and 4 pitchers, but I'll let Rosie confirm.

Yeah. I guess the cat is out of the bag, I'm going 5-man rotation. Seemed like a good anachronism to insert into the league.

I have a feeling that you are not alone in going with a 5 man rotation. Why pay $3+ mil for a 5th starter if he won't be used?

PARAMETERS: Draft any players carded between 1920-1955, cheaper than 10m (after RD 1), and NOT listed as NeL (like Banks, Mays, Aaron etc). • $100 mil cap; NO DH • $23 mil min must be used for all Bench, Relievers and 5th SP (even after dropping down to 24 if desired), which will leave $77 mil max for your 4 other SP’s and 8 Starting Position players. • Relief pitchers must cost $2.73 mil or less • Only two Bench players below $1.5 mil allowed • All SP on MLB teams must be greater than $3 mil.

I'm all for a Big Tent for those who want it. In fact, bring in Japanese League and Mexican League and Federal League and guys who were contemporaries of President Grant and Bugs Bunny's pitching card and my 1977 Little League card for that matter.

Just don't expect me to play it. I just want an MLB players only option.

Continuing to add cards that have no relationship with MLB will sooner or later make the ATG set cartoonish. No, I'm not happy that the "IMMORTAL" Ross Barnes is the 2nd best 2b in our set, behind only Hornsby. That is patently ABSURD.

Hey all,

Since the 5th SP is morphing into a valuable piece of the puzzle let's go ahead and draft 8 regulars and 5 SP's before heading into AD.

From a player pool standpoint, if SOM just added pure RP card options for the pitchers already contained in the NeL set this concept would flow a bit easier.

PARAMETERS: Draft any players carded between 1920-1955, cheaper than 10m (after RD 1), and NOT listed as NeL (like Banks, Mays, Aaron etc). • $100 mil cap; NO DH • $23 mil min must be used for all Bench, Relievers and 5th SP (even after dropping down to 24 if desired), which will leave $77 mil max for your 4 other SP’s and 8 Starting Position players. • Relief pitchers must cost $2.73 mil or less • Only two Bench players below $1.5 mil allowed • All SP on MLB teams must be greater than $3 mil.
