This league was created after a couple of big missteps in making the concept.
First he created a league where you got 1 stud hitter and 1 stud pitcher which evened it out a little bit-
however instead of 12 pairs he made 13 and neglected to say whether you needed to put your pair on your draft card.
so...most folks did, some didn't- but it caused some real issues when those players showed up on other teams as comps for very high picks.
Second- that league was agreed to be disbanded so the rules could be set straight and everyone was going to rejoin...except he neglected to make the league private, so a few of us had teams taken by others-
which btw, not an issue but you had gotten my pair of Josh Gibs and Walter Johnson.
Third- people got fed up with the fact that the league was not made private and started to leave.
Fourth- he created a simpler league where everyone gets 1 stud - of course, yes, its like designating yourself 1st pick of all players for free.
Anyway...thats the whole of what happened.
