This is supposed to be FANTASY Sports & supposed to be FUN!  Selecting a team & "Hands OFF" letting it run is no fun!  What is the difference if we pick the teams, YOU pick the teams, or Whoever picks the teams - it runs the same way!  There is NO roster manipulations, NO player moves, NO settings to fix?  HOW is this a sim league?  My suggestion, allow us SOME control & let us twist the players?!  Im not PAYING money for a "Hands OFF" approach, If Im paying $ its gotta be worth it to me!  Selecting A team & ONE player, then sitting back & watching sim have TOTAL control aint worth $13!  Selecting the players is half the fun in sim & your letting us select ONE player?

Make some changes & maybe Ill be back
It sounds like this may not be the Theme League for you rowdyrk.  This will be the second time I've put this together, and we had an enjoyable season.  Teams still have to be managed.  Teams have bench players to address fatigue and use as subs, pinch runners/hitters, plus AAA.  Owners found fatigue to be an issue and had a more hands on approach in this league.  But like I said, this doesn't sound like the Theme for you.  That's ok.  Lots to choose from.  Maybe you'll come up with one I like, and I'll join yours.  Shoot me an invite (personally, I don't tend to join leagues over $100mil cap....but rarely, I do).

OSU_Buckeye I've been following this thread for a few days with interest but had almost talked myself out of signing up. But reading your reply to rowdyrk convinced me that this is an owner whose league I want to be in! Sign me up for the 1975 Cincinnati Reds

Is there a league # yet?

I also liked your response. You have obviously put a lot of thought and a lot of work into this idea. I am looking forward to seeing how this season plays out.

Thank you.
I was going to wait until the league was close to full, but I will put everything together and site mail the info by Monday night.

We also have a "Theme League Discussion" thread, for when the season is underway...or before.

Can we have more than one team as long as we have one in each league.
6/1/2012 10:46 PM
I have an AL team that would also like to try.
6/1/2012 10:48 PM
I have no problem with that.  We had a few owners the first time that had a couple of teams, it wasn't a problem at all.
