Schwarze, you might want to update the rules indicating there are no restrictions on drafting the community players into what position they are played at (including drafting players designated as pitchers and using their hitter seasons in which they were a positional player) in case people don't bother reading all the posts to avoid any confusion.

Schwarze, if you do this type of theme in the future, you may want to increase some of the minimum salaries (I'd suggest at least 3 seasons of $6M+ for hitters) or lower the cap.

Just looking at catchers: There are 53 catcher season's in total that cost $6m or more in the WIS database.  27 of them are by HOFers.  The other 26 would qualify and only Joe Torre and Ivan Rodriguez have 3 in their careers at the moment (with Rodriguez not having a season < $1M).  So for that position, we could only select 1 player nevermind 2 or better yet have a choice from a bigger pool.

Without the HOFers in the mix, the $120M cap is pretty high so probably easier to just lower the cap than to raise the salary limitation and restrict choices even more.

[Edit] Torre has a 4th season > $6M but that was primarily at 3B in 1971.

If I had to do it over, I'd have switched the 110M and 120M themes.

No worries, schwarze, you're doing a fantastic job at running this beast of a tournament.  Great themes again in round 2.  I don't know how you find the time and energy to do all this stuff.  Thank you.

As I build my team, this is a little harder than I thought it would be.  You certainly can't just take players' best / most expensive seasons.  I tried that and went over $120M and haven't even added my 25th player yet.

Now I have to figure where to downgrade.

I agree....as much as I still dislike some of these picks, there is still some decent strategy to team selection....certainly with the hall of famer addition.....

Agree.  I've been through a few iterations trying to squeeze what I can out of everybody.  Will be fun to see which HOF everybody selects.
