I love these themes. Unfortunately I doubt they'll love me back. In all likelihood I'll be eliminated about midway during Round 1.

Question for 120 theme:

Are we allowed to draft pitchers (if we choose) that meet both requirements, or do they have to meet exactly one of them?

Yes, you can take pitchers that meet both requirements.

All players you take must be from seasons that they played for the given franchise.  So, if Dodgers is one of my franchises, I don't get to take an Atlanta version of Greg Maddux, just because he played for the Dodgers.

@70M: If a teammate of one of our cloned pitchers had a split season, can you use the full season or only the partial that coincides with your pitcher?

I think you mean @80M.  But yes, you can use either combined or partial.  You only use the teammates for one team though, so if you take the combined version, make sure you select the team you want as far as teammates are concerned.

Babe Ruth in Coors, $120M
Three simple rules: 
(1) You must play in Coors Field
(2) You must roster one Babe Ruth (any version, including pitcher) and
(3) Every pitcher on your roster must fulfill either of these requirements: HR/9 >= 0.50 or WHIP >= 1.10. 

I was going to include a minimum IPs rule too, but decided to let each person decide for himself how many innings is appropriate for this theme. Just be warned that if you skimp on innings, the “Fatigue Hell Death Spiral” could result in a 120+ loss season and single-handedly doom your chances to advance to round 2.
 
Other Specifics
Seasons: Any
DH: No
WW: No
AAA: No
Trades: No
Clones: None
Injuries: Turned On
SLL: Not allowed
Multi-team players: No restrictions (i.e., you can use partial or combined)
Ballpark: Coors Field
300K Exception: N/A
Team Name: Anything
Division Alignment:  Random
You can also call the "Fatigue Hell Death Spiral" the "Wetwillytwo Rule".

I was doing pretty good on the $110 group until I went back and looked at the rules, one from each season.  It makes it a lot harder, back to drawing board.

90M Question: If there are no pitchers under $300K available for the season you want to use is there another under-300K option available?

90M.  What if the team you chose does not have 25 available players?  Are they disqualified as a potential choice?  Thank you.
