If you like spending a little time putting together your teams, this might be the league for you. I know I enjoyed researching the trial teams while working out the details of this league.

When an owner signs up he will be given a list of 25 dates from random.org. They will look like this:

Here are your 25 calendar dates:

They were picked randomly out of 366 possible dates between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

The above dates are just an example. When I post your 25 dates, you then go to http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/birthdays.shtml and select one player who was born on each of your 25 dates to make up your 25 man team.

I am setting the cap at $140M and there are no restrictions on stadiums. This season there will be a DH, no clones, WW, or AAA or trades. Live play will be next series only. There will be 1 random realignment and it is a standard 24 team league. Injuries will be turned on.

As we did last season, I ask that you post your dates and players you are using in the forum I will set up in the Theme League Owners Forum. Please copy and paste the dates I give you and type the players first and last name beside it. If you are not willing to do this, please don't sign up for the league.

Post your rosters here: http://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?ForumID=2&TopicID=455580

I also ask that each owner be aware that there can be more than one player with the same name, for example there are 2 Pedro Martinez's, 2 Dutch Leonard's, etc. Be sure that the one you draft was born on the date that you have.

There will be no do-overs. Do the best you can with what you've been dealt.

I will ask a returning owner to get my random birthdays.
