I assume I can make my pick, because the only pick before mine has to be a pitcher and I have to take a hitter.

I'll take Eddie Collins.

I've got an Mac, so I'm going to need help getting Musial as C, 2B, SS, and 3B.  Or would it be OK if I drafted $200K guys in those positions and set them to "rest" for the entire season?

Going to roll the dice with a guy who only played one position (and a pretty unimportant one, at that) and who normalizes like crap. 

Lou Gehrig

next 2 will be sitemailed

I don't know how tdoak is planning to assign the iron glove 200k guys. It would be better if they were all DH-only guys so there's no advantage for defensive replacements :) But either way is fine with me.

Clemens is a really good pick, probably would have been my choice. I'm really torn between two. I'll go with Babe Adams for my pitcher.

Somebody's got to be the first to take a left-handed pitcher, so why not me?  Sandy Koufax.

My intent was to make the 200k guys DH only. However, I sent a ticket to admin asking how to draft Babe Ruth as a catcher, etc., and their response is that it can't be done under the game's current design!

So, I guess I will have to identify a really bad 200k player at each position for drafting purposes. With range factor as part of the searches, I am confident we can find some guys you would never want to use. But, I am bummed that this may limit some teams' bench strength. Hope it will not present a problem for anyone.

I don't get it.

The previous post for drafting players out of position didn't work for me either, so this is how I figured it out. I can't believe Admin doesn't know how to do it. What, is the guy's mom answering sitemails?

First I searched for the ARod I wanted. Then, I rightclicked on his name (Not the green arrow). Then I selected "Properties". Then I copied the unique player number. This is the first number after the parentheses, and was something like 2244050 for the 2009 ARod. Then I went to catcher, or whatever other position I needed to fill, and selected a player - any player, it doesn't matter which one. Now, once selected, on the draft page in the URL box is a bunch of numbers, but the last number is the unique player number for the guy I just drafted. So I went to the URL box, highlighted that number, and pasted ARod's number in its place (2244050, or whatever one I needed). Press Enter and voila.

Still a lot of great pitchers available. After much deliberation, I'll take my chances on ole Pete. Pete Alexander

ratioman's technique looks like it works for me.  Using Firefox, I had to slightly modify his technique.  First I found the Ted Williams season I wanted (the one with his least-bad defense!), and clicked on his name to bring up the player profile.  The player/season ID number is in the URL, it actually says pid=XXXXXX.  Then I just did ratioman's technique, drafting a SS, and replacing the PID of the SS with Williams'.  Ta da! B+/C+ in the outfield can't make for THAT bad of SS defense can it? :)
