In general, I don't understand the Imaginary Set on a conceptual need level. It's sort of fun, but goes against what I like about Strat. I might be up for a third season using the Imaginary Set, and possibly with only six managers if there isn't full interest. If people really want it, I'd give my consent to 1 and 1, but I don't think I'd want both seasons to take place in Imaginationland.
I wouldn't mind ALSO doing a Imagined set. It would be interesting to see how different our teams would do vs. actual stat set.
I vote a big NO. We have been together for what 8 years? We should use what our players produce. Having said that, I will of course accept the will of the league.

The key point is that this league wouldn't count in the overall league records or compute into draft orders, etc. It's just an incremental one-off just for kicks league.
If the card sets have close to the same number of carded players-- I would say no-- use the traditional/historic cards. The only way I would even consider it if the real set number of carded players is substantially less than the imagined. However, as Fred and I have had that discussion in another league, it seems that the number of carded players for both sets will be roughly the same.

I think we can safely assume it's a 162 game season. At $20 per team, there would be an uprising for a 60 game season. Also, I think Strato is too lazy to program a 60 game season game.

It's funny, it's trade season and am always interested in some trade ideas. However, I don't have a decent 1B to trade, or need Marte, or have a 2nd catcher to trade, or have extra pitching to trade. 0-4 We need the same things!
