Question about $100M theme: for a player who played on two or more teams in the same season, are all the players on any of the teams considered eligible teammates (that is, could I have a teammate from each team the player played on in that season)
No, only the teammates from the version that you actually use.

in the $110 league, so by no clones  I cannot have the same guy even if he played for both of my franchises in the same year, correct?

Correct, no clones regardless.

Q/A for 100M Theme:

Q: May any of the pitchers inadvertently be clones, each of them corresponding to a cloned fielder?

Q: Must the team names include the names of all cloned fielders?

You can only clone one hitter, not multiple hitters.

Q: May any of the pitchers inadvertently be clones, each of them corresponding to a cloned fielder?
A: If you decide to use somebody like Rick Ankiel as your cloned hitter, can you also use Ankiel as a pitcher?  Yes, but just one version, and you don't get to use teammates of Ankiel the pitcher.  Other than that, no pitching clones.

Q: Must the team names include the names of all cloned fielders?
A: You are only allowed to clone one hitter (but as many times as you like).

Dern, I didn't read it that way. And I had such a fine team formed around five hitter/fielder clones!  ;-`

I would imagine so.  It's a lot harder using just one guy to clone.  Most will use an OF as you can get at least 4 versions (including DH), maybe more if you can squeeze a couple of 200-300K versions.   But I guess you could also find an infielder, especially if he moved around the infield during his career.  A 1B/OF with a few cheap seasons is probably your best bet.  I found one guy with 8-9 seasons I could use, but I couldn't get my team under the cap.  He would've been a great choice at $120M.

Gems under the woodwork... Schwarze, you are a man of understated elegance. Nice themes.

I probably said too much.

90 mil theme: can u have 2 or more teams from the same franchise, just different seasons?
6/15/2015 9:19 PM
Yes.

Well, I finally finished my sixth team (120M).  That was way harder than I thought it would be.  I got my pitching done early, but I just couldn't get the offense to work.  I'd get up to 12 hitters I liked, but would always have trouble filling the last two spots, given what decades I had left.  And changing to a different decade resulted in a cascading effect, which impacted 3-4 positions/players.  I finally just settled on something, so I could be done.

I have now asked the other commissioners to send me their rosters for verification, then they will start opening the leagues.  Hopefully, by next Monday, we'll have all the league numbers.

man, the DH is really complicating my ability to get enough good PAs in the 120 mil league.
