Welcome Back...one of the best themes I ever took part in. SFord said I could bring it back from the dead.
Soon it will be spring... The birds will be chirping, and I'll be on my way to Big Dick's Halfway Inn, located on Lake of the Ozarks. Nothing quite like one of their Minnow Shots and a beer, and where else but at " the Home of the Best Head on the lake"...

This league has a single round draft. The first 23 owners will each pick a player that we all will use, the 24th owner chooses the park that we'll all be required to use. All 24 owners must use the same 23 players chosen, using the exact same season, same version that was announced in the draft...You'll have some funds available to pick your 2 remaining players. They are your X-factors, you can pick any players from any season that don't put you over the cap.
We won't know exactly how much X-factor money we'll have left over until all of the 23 players are chosen...it could be a lot, or not very much at all... Last season was $11.1M, with a $100M salary cap. I think we will have more to spend this time...
Sometimes the players drafted here have funny names. Guys like Dick Burns, Rusty Peters, Dick Pole, Johnny Dickshot and Dick Cox have been known to show up here...
Salary Cap $120M

I will use random.org to determine draft order. The 24th owner picks our stadium...
When it is your turn to draft, you must pick a player within the given salary range, and that player must meet the PA or IP requirement(if applicable). The bench guys, as well as some of the RP's, don't have a requirement, just a salary range.
You may draft a player to play out of position, but they must have a minimum of 20 games played at the position. No other criteria as to their defensive prowess. In the draft center set the minimum games to 20, and check the Include secondary positions box.
Example: if Yogi Berra had a season in which he had 100 games played at catcher, 22 in the outfield, and 18 at first base, he could be drafted here either as a catcher or outfielder, not a first baseman...(as long as he was within the salary range, and met the minimum plate appearances)
You must declare which slot your player is filling, the season of that player, player's name, and his salary. All owners will use that same player, same season, same version. No exceptions.
Example: for the 200k-500k pitcher slot, 1993 Bryn Smith $227,139
Your primary position players MUST have at least 500 PA/162, and a minimum of 20 games at the position you draft them at.
