MLB Network Countdown Twist

The Intimidators- 100m cap

Ever wonder if you packed a league with the most intense and intimidating players from the past 50 years whether there would be more brawls and ejections?

Welcome to the Intimidator Twist.   This is the first in what will hopefully be a series of simple twist leagues based on different rankings from the show MLB Network Countown, on the MLB Network.

Step 1- Choose a player from MLB Network’s list of the top 30 most intimidating players since 1970 (see below). 

Step 2- identify your intimidator’s debut game and final game (found via hyper links listed on all player pages at baseball-reference.com)  and claim your unique Intimidator in the Forums by referencing his name next to the teams  that played in the intimidator’s debut game and final game.   If you choose an intimidator that is still active, like David Ortiz, then for purposes of this league, consider his last game played from last season as his final game.  It’s first come first serve.  The intimidator you select is unique, but only as a basis for your team, and not as a player in the league.  That is to say that if I select Vlad Guerrero as my intimidator, other owners may still roster Guerrero if he is part of their player pool.

Step 3 - Create a team using any player from any of the four teams that played in your intimidator’s debut game and final game, twisted to any year of their career.  Your player pool is not limited to players that actually played in the debut game and final game.  You may select any player that appears on the rosters for the teams that played in the debut game and final game.

Step 4- Make sure your intimidator is on your team.

Step 5- Your home stadium must be one of the home stadiums of one of the four teams in your player pool.

Example:

If I selected Vlad Guerrero, my player pool would consist of :

1996 Expos  (debut game)

1996 Braves (debut game)

2011 Redsox (final game)

2011 Orioles (final game)
