Hitter vs Pitchers-2000's --Congrats to.......

The BC

Im in the process of sending messages to league members. Big and Lee were alerted earlier today.

If anyone is in leagues with any participants, please alert them the fun has started.

The 12 were selected to enhance the competitive balance by giving the pitching teams a potentially significant upgrade to their offense and the same for hitting teams/starting pitching. When building potential teams, the pitching teams were a bat short while the hitting teams were going to have a tough time with starting pitching. So it was a natural fit to offer one player to each club type on an exception basis. The specific players were judgment based. The process worked well in our earlier leagues.

There are no requirements to keep the players in the dispersal draft. If it turns out the player is on a bad year or just doesn’t fit, they do not need to be kept on the roster.

I understand the reasoning for allowing teams to draft 1 player of the opposite strength, was just curious on why those specific players.

Basis for selection: Similar salaries; similar skill level-strengths and weaknesses--starting pitchers---each can start on 3 days rest

Is anyone in a league with either Bigdinkent or Lee 300? I sent both messages yesterday asking them to kick off the stadium draft. If you are in a league with them, can you send them a message via your league mailbox? Thanks!

I'm in a league with BigD and I just sent him a message.

BC—you are a good person. Thanks!
