A few of those 1942 Cardinals were still pitching in the 1950's.

You must have a pitcher or player from a year the Yankees lost the World Series, and it must be from the team that beat them (Ex. 2001 Schilling, 2003 Beckett, etc.)

this pitcher cannot be twisted.

I dunno, I'm guessing... $100m rosters?

that sounds about right. it seems the cap rule shouldve come towards the end, im sure thatll happen next season...

Possibly...but my early plans and hopes have projected $159M right now. That will obviously change as people draft.

Am I the only one looking at platoons?

If you get two guys at one position with 300-400 PA and 20-22 HR, you can approach the cap more easily.

Probably just gave away a good strategy, but I want the most competitive league

ok easy choice here:
Jason Schmidt

upon doing my research i have uncovered a small issue. there are only 22 ss that fit all of the rules. ie not enough to go around. I would strongly suggest not drafting said ss or someone will get hosed. (likely me)

With the need for pitching, I doubt we'll see all the SS go

I think this is the way to go on many of the positions. SS will be tricky.

Well, some positions you can afford low HR guys. But I think platoons at 1B, 3B and one OF slot will help...and maybe catcher.

My current offense has 240 HR...that includes 13 players and only Williams has more than 22. I also haven't drafted a SS yet.
