All P no D theme league anyone?

I like 120, like the idea of keeping pitchers above 8m. I do lots of 5 man rotations so it's a change for me to see all in 4 man. I like the idea of relaxing the arm to 0 for catchers and outfielders. I also think a total number for infield range and outfield range is a good idea. I think good numbers are 17 for infield (including catcher) and 9 for outfield, this would force anyone who uses a 1 to use all 4's elsewhere, and anyone who uses a couple of 2's to field a 5 elsewhere. I have the password, just waiting for the league signup to fill and the dust to settle on the rules.

I like Mykeed`s suggestions!

Me too. I like the idea of adding the catcher into the total INF range. How about we set a rule that all backups must be 3 or higher range with no 1 or 2 range at any position. That might keep HAL from making moves that we don't want. Any of the other owners agree? Here is the summary of the rules. I left the arms at +1 and set the OF range total to 8 just to allow a little more flexibility, but if that's still a problem we can change it.

$120M league with DH
4 SPs must all be $8M or greater. If 5 Man rotation than 3 SPs must be greater than $8M
Defensive range of 3 starting OFs must total 8 or greater
Defensive arm of each starting OF must be +1 or worse
Defensive range of 4 starting IFs and C must total 17 or greater
Catcher's arm must be +1 or worse
No backup player may have a 1 or 2 range at any position on their card.

I have to say - setting up the league rules is almost as fun as drafting I did a Shifting Sands league once and that was the most challenging and the most fun I've had playing Strato. Tried to do another, but no one signed up.

I also believe that this rule should read:

If using a 5 man (or more) rotation, 3 SP's must be greater than $8m and remaining SP's in rotation must be greater than $5m.

This would keep the spirit of this league all SP no D as no one could use a cheap SP such as Hensley, Currie, Sutton, Rooker, Saunders, Reuter, Bordi, Boswell, Frock et al. to get around any extreme parks.

What if a starting first baseman has a minus arm in the outfield? Is this a legal player?

I'll get in, that should fill the remaining two spots, everyone wants to get in a league with the moose because my teams suck all of the time....

before we get the league going , I think a finalized rules rundown should be spelled out.
