Round 1 Themes, 2018 Topic

For the $100M league - as an extension to the first question on Page 1, if your player played for two teams in a season (e.g. 1942 Giants and 1942 Reds), can you draft both of his 1942 seasons to access all of his teammates for that year?

You are not able to draft two versions of the same year of the same player in any WIS league, the draft wizard restricts this. Otherwise, I'd draft two 1902 Bill Bernhard's in every league.

I was not aware. I've never tried it. Good to know.

110m - there's no requirement that we have 25 consecutive years, right? Just making sure as it's not written that way.

That would be nearly impossible since we can't use a player from our chosen year. Not many players with 26-year careers to fit on the far edge.

Correct. It can be any 25 years. They do not need to be consecutive.

I'm assuming for the $100M theme, that if none of the ballparks for our cloned player's seasons exist in WIS, that we can't use that player? Or can we substitute another park from that era?

Hm. Good question. I'm fine with you using a different park that your player called home during his career, in this case.

Thought I had a Coors team I could be happy with, then just realized I'd built a $100M team instead of $90M. smh
I feel your pain. I thought I had my 110 mil team set then I noticed the little bit about all of the players having to come from different years not just different from the year you chose. Back to the drawing board.

I assume for the 100 mil league that the cloned player can be a pitcher or a hitter?

$110M: Unique Season Twist
Pick a season. Twist 25 players who are in the WIS database for that season to other seasons. If a player played in your chosen season but did not qualify for WIS, you can not use them. You must twist each of the 25 players to a unique season. No players can come from your chosen season.

Finding low cost bench players 10+ years out is proving to be sucky.

$90M: Ball in Play
No player on your roster can have a fielding or range rating higher than D+ at any position (both primary and secondary). This restriction does not apply to pitchers. You must play in Coors Field.

NOTE: This league will require more innings than normal leagues at this cap. Please draft accordingly to avoid skewing the results of the tournament. I am reserving the right to send your team back for you to redo if I believe it will cause harm to overall competitive balance.

I'm not looking for trade secrets here, just some general guidelines as this theme is way outside the box for me. As far as IP.......realizing there are many variables that will have an effect on the season-long outcome, what will be a red flag for you when you look at a roster? Anything under 1450? 1500? 1600? I seriously have no clue where to set the bar.

It's not just innings. It's innings combined with quality

A question that crossed my mind as I was building my 255 team. What would the penalty be if an owner that advanced to round 2 had a player on his 255 roster that had only one WIS season? (Not that I would do any such thing. Just curious.)
