"Easy" you say? Well, yeah, easy to *build* a team. But *IMPOSSIBLE* (for me, anyway) to get a glimmer of a hint of whether it will be a *good* team in this most perverse theme!

(goes back to gnashing teeth...)

LOL... I dislike low cap leagues but I know we need a 60M league, so if I have to be in pain, so must everybody else.

I wonder what the split of teams that go $36M on hitting vs. $36M on pitching.

Yes, we won't even know which 24 teams are advancing until after that date. So, don't bother building your round 2 teams yet.

I have modified the 120M league slightly. I have added the use of the DH

Are you going to leave the same 3 players for Favorite <$300K in the restricted choice theme? With the new emphasis on defense in pricing, the '75 Maddox is $386,682.

I updated the defensive ratings on the Restricrted Choice Theme. I also renamed Group 14 (but the players the same)

Well, quality is a subjective term.

I've been so focused on the drafts, that I have mostly ignored the other 4 themes. Do we have any league numbers yet (at least for the $60 and no cap leagues)?

No league numbers yet. I haven't built my teams... I've also been focused on my drafts... Luckily, there's still time before the first deadline. I'll work on most of my teams after the first draft is done.
