Clarification on pitcher roles:
83 Astros had the immortal Jeff Heathcock. 6 appearances, 3 starts. Would I be correct in assuming that he could go with SP or RP?

Indeed.

Question: If a Catcher has infielder ratings, am I allowed to draft him as an IF?

Can someone help explain what seasons we're using? Does it vary for each team?
I'm a bit fuzzy on the details...

TEAM 15- Toddleduc - SD CLE DET ATL KC

Here is your sequence:

3
4
1
5
2

Here are your random numbers:

3 --------------> This is the final digit of the year.

1. 2000-2009

2. 1990-1999

3. 1980-1989

4. 1970-1979

5. 1960-1969

TEAM 15- Toddleduc - '83 SD '73 CLE '03 DET '63 ATL '93 KC

this might be a crazy question...just wanna make sure...since i have the 83 WAS that would of course be Hab's 83 Expos correct?

TEAM 15- Toddleduc - '83 SD '73 CLE '03 DET '63 ATL '93 KC


Gotcha...
So then we match up each of the 5 Teams/Seasons to:

1) INFIELD
2) OUTFIELD
3) BATTERY (SP+C)
4) PEN
&
5) WILDCARD

That is correct...the only exceptions are:

***FOR TEAMS THAT DON'T DATE BACK TO 1960***

HOU - 1960-69 REPLACED BY SEA 1980-89

KC - 1960-69 REPLACED BY SEA 1990-99

LAA - 1960-69 REPLACED BY FLA 2000-09

MIL - 1960-69 REPLACED BY TOR 2000-09

NYM - 1960-69 REPLACED BY TOR 1990-99

SD - 1960-69 REPLACED BY ARIZ 2000-09

WAS - 1960-69 REPLACED BY TOR 1980-89

TEX - 1960-69 REPLACED BY SEA 2000-09

You'd draft your team from MIN 1984, LAD 1994, NYY 1974, SF 2004 and since MIL get's the 60's you'd get TOR 2004.

So you might do this;

IF Tor '04 - Delgado (twisted to '03), Hudson, Hinske, Menechino

OF LAD '94 - Butler, Mondesi, Rodriguez, Webster

Battery Min '84 - Viola, Smithson, Butcher, Schrom with Engle C

Pen NYY '74 - Lyle, May (eligible since he had more than 5 relief appearances), Upshaw and Beene (twisted to '73)

Wildcard - Schmidt SF '04

This team ended up at $85m.

doesnt add up to 25 players. very confused here

You got it.

how many of each team/catagory can we take? ie i have 83 cubs i assume so does that mean i can take the battery if i want or infielders?

I am sure he doesn't list all the extra backups...just the main guys.

You have to match each team to one of the categories. So, if you take the 83 Cubs, yes..you can take the battery...or the INF...or OF, etc. You just can't use them for more than one category.

thanx habs
