Just started a new league idea (season XIV) that has proven different "Two player platoon for ever position & pitcher under 300 IP." The rules are (1) Must have 2 players at each position, 16 total {each must have 150-450 PA}; (2) 9 pitchers total {ever pitcher must be under 300 IP}; (3) Team max salary is $100 mil; (4) NO AAA, WW, DH, clones

Come join MLB132516

Here are some question ask before that may help.

Are the restrictions only for the draft or are there also restrictions on how players can be used?

Yes the restrictions are only for the draft; but, I think if you spend the money on 2 players for every position they will be used (even if it's about 70%/30%).

Do the platoon positions need to be their primary one that season, or as long as they have a rating at a position that's OK?

The only restrictions is that each player has {PA 150-450} & has played at the position you will be playing him at. No SS playing C without ever playing C.

You may want to provide us with further clarification regarding the term 'platoon.'
There is the conventional RH & LH batter platoon.
There is also a modified platoon for catchers when one catcher handles all the starts for one pitcher, and the other catcher is behind the plate for the other 2,3 or 4 starting pitchers.
And there are situations when two players at the same position have significantly different skill sets: i.e. one player may have 35-40 HR/season potential while the other player may have 60-70 SB/season potential. Your power guy might start against most modern pitchers while your speed guy might get the nod when playing in a spacious park or when the opposing catcher has a poor throwing arm.
There are other platooning scenarios you may want to address. Any further clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks. VM

VanMeter; thanks for these very good questions. The answer is it's your choice how you use them. Hopefully the PA of 150-450 will cause you to find different situations for the two players at each position that works best for your team.
