When I came up with this version of the ReDistribution draft, I initially thought that maybe the draft would be somewhat boring, giving no salary cap and no Bonus Round. But, to my surprise, this draft has been just as fun as previous versions. Having realistic rosters to draft from without the crutch of being able to fix a problem in the Bonus Round really makes these last few rounds critical. The average number of innings submitted from each franchise was about 1450. That should be enough innings in a 120M cap league with no DH, but not everybody will get to 1450. Some will end up around 1400 or maybe even fewer. (I'm probably going to be around 1425). And God help you if you "get stuck" and have to take a <$300K player at an important position.
Should be interesting to see how this plays out.
I meant to chime in on this earlier ... I'm looking at 1,438 innings if my math is right. It was looking like 1,370 or so if I'd wound up with Maddux at P1, but once he was taken I was locked in with Feller and his additional 70 innings. Might end up being the difference between fatigue battles and a smooth season.
Interestingly, my total salary is likely to top $135M and I would have to imagine that lands me in the division with the highest four salaries. But I haven't looked at who else still has to take some big salaries on at the end.
