The Tale of Four Seasons (Season IV) Topic

This is the 4th season of this theme. Season III is just starting the playoffs now. Season III was very entertaining and quite offense-oriented. Half of the teams in the league scored over 1000 runs (that means an average of about 6.2 runs per game!). As usual, I'm tweaking the rules to keep things fresh.

My take on creating a theme is to make it seem like your team has the strengths and weaknesses of a "normal" MLB team.

1. Pick a franchise.
2. Pick 2 seasons of your franchise ** 1985 - 2014 ** and select all your pitching from those seasons. No twists.
3. Pick 2 seasons of your franchise ** 1985 - 2014 ** and select all your position players from those seasons. No twists.
4. Substitute one player from either your pitchers or your position players with a star from your franchise ** 1985 - 2014 **.
5. 200K scrubs can be from any season ** 1985 - 2014 ** of your franchise.
6. Pick any ballpark, but league-wide uniqueness is on.

Other details:

80 mill cap
DH Yes
AAA 6/4 AA Manual from the 5 seasons of your franchise already selected. You may take pitchers from position player seasons, and vice versa. You are also allowed to take any players from the "star" player's season.
Trades No
WW No
clones No
injuries No

Each franchise can be selected by two different owners, and their teams will be placed in opposite leagues.

Above average for the manual AAA, right?

Yes...I think so. I'm not sure whether "random" would be better. I'm hoping for a relatively open manual AAA, since you are only allowed a few seasons to select from.

Random seems to go up to about 4.2mil for hitters and 5.2mil for pitchers. Might be a little high since you could put most of a team at AAA with that cap. Above average seems reasonable. It's hard to find a franchise with legions of elite guys at above average, forget about getting 2 or 3 elite guys from the same season.
