I looked at a total of two teams and said I was done until it got closer to me. Also if you are using me as a standard I would raise your standards a bit.

I spent TONS of time looking into it too, and those A's were near the top of my list as well. Good luck with them!

Vida Blue was tempting

'03 Naps were my choice....i'll try 1996 Marlins

What's the rules again on short IP SPs? Is there any? Can we start whoever(position players too), whereever as well?

no rule on position players

any pitcher who starts the game or throws 5 IP or more is ineligible for one game

BASEBALL MADNESS
TOURNAMENT RULES

For the first version owners can select any team from history with a winning pct in the range of .520 to .550.

Teams are exclusive.


Teams will be seeded randomly. The lower seed in each pairing is home team. (example in the #1 and #16 game #1 would be home team)
After the pairings are posted the 2 owners for each game will need to set a time to play their game. At this time no time limit is in effect for getting the game played. Hopefully everyone can get them in in a timely matter so the tourney can move along at a good pace.

Any pitcher who starts the game or pitches 5 innings or more must sit out the next game. He would then be eligible to pitch the following game if your team is still alive.
This in effect allows you to use a 2 man rotation if you would like. You may use as many starters as you want-the only restriction is the 5 IP rule.

After the game is played both owners must post the results and list any of their pitchers who started and pitched 5 innings or more for the winning team.

Against my best judgement, because I HATE this franchise:

2000 Red Sox - Though I will rename them to the Red ***** if possible

I can not resist my favorite player in the sim 2000 Pedro, hope I can use him to the best of his ability......

Maybe a non-start 4 2/3 innings each game?????

I can't help but take my favorite team, the 92 Expos!

Here is me wishing for an unexpected double play to push him to 5 innings.
