I hate Mondays (except for bumping).

We appear to be stalling a bit...

Open to suggestions for kick-starting this Theme again...

I think the salary cap is high for the theme, particularly with AAA guys. Jack Morris gives me access to every Tigers player from 77-90, three straight World Series winners, and the 94 Indians with huge seasons from Belle and Lofton. My guess is that I have one of the strongest player pools to choose from and I still had to spend a lot of money on my bench to reach 120 million. The AAA guys will be irrelevant. Just my opinion, I might be the only one who feels this way.

I basically got everyone I wanted and still had plenty of cap space left for an unnecessarily deep bench. So I agree, Jesters.

But below average AAA aren't going to make much impact anyway, right? I'm guessing at most they just provide an innings-eater to mop up or a defensive replacement or something like that. Really, I see no reason we need them either.

Sign up. Rusty would want it that way!

I agree that reaching the salary cap of $120M is very hard for this league. Would a salary cap of $100M be more appealing to owners?

I also agree that AAA will not likely play any real impact on this league regardless of their skill level.

I don't mind tweaking the roster I built, but I think $110M would certainly still work very well. I'm not sure if other owners will be happy with a change or not.

We Kuntz stop now. Let's see if a bump gets some fresh eyes on this.

Thanks, redcped!

What is everyone's preference regarding the salary cap:

$80M?
$100M?
$110M?
$120M?
$160M?
other?

I would remove the AAA and go either $110M or $120M.

At $120M, I don't have to make any hard choices. I can take all the guys I wanted. At $110M there's going to have to be a couple tough calls. Lower than that and then you will be using many more guys who are closer to average than all-stars. And that's OK, too, but it's a different approach.
