So then I can use both the players of the 86 mets (any season of those players) and of the 99 yankees (any season of those players) and then I use my choice of either 99 rickey or 86 rickey. Is this correct?  sorry, I know it's easier than I am making this out to be.
He's correct except he flipped the teams. It's 86 Yankees and 99 Mets.

schwarze: can you clarify a rule for the pitching/defense league?

in the description, you wrote "If a player plays more than one position, at least one of his positions (not C or P) must pass the defensive requirement."

but on page 3, in response to sgsmith, you said "a player whose primary position is outfield (listed as OF when drafted), and he does not meet the 20+ defensive requirement at outfield or any other position, *but* he's rated at catcher with a qualifying Arm rating" would be legal.

these two statements seem to contradict to me, in that the player sgsmith described does not have a position other than C that passes the defensive requirement. I'm assuming that the answer is that one of his positions (not C or P) must pass the 20-point defensive requirement OR he must have a catcher arm rating of 10 or greater—but I'd like to be sure!

I worded the first sentence poorly. 

The key is that I'm not going to police where players play.  So if you can find a player eligible at catcher with an A- or better arm, but want to play him at 1B or OF or wherever, that's ok.  Which means he is eligble.

Sometimes I wish we could play three concurrent versions of this tourney so I could try all my teams out.  Second-guessing final choices is one of the cruelest parts of this thing.

Ahh, but there's always a chance I could bring back the same theme (w/blacklist) to next year's championship like I did with one theme in 2009-10.  I already have one theme in mind for that...

It would pretty much have to be the $70mil or $110mil themes.  The $80mil, $90mil and $120mil themes don't really work for blacklists, and the $100mil theme, a blacklist wouldn't throw much of a kink into it.

Yep, you're correct.  I was thinking 110M.

One of my favorite parts of this tournament (going 0-4 in the first round with my playoff teams doesn't count) is when schwarze releases the league recaps that list the twisted teams, twisted players, starting pitchers, etc. that everyone chose.  It's a fascinating insight into what makes successful team-building.

All 6 teams entered. I love 2 teams, like 2 teams and hope the last 2 don't lose 100 games.
