"WMD" Rule: Must draft one version of either Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle or Duke Snider.

I must confess to a certain level of morbid curiosity regarding this league. I can't help but slow down with the window down and my mouth agape as I stare at the carnage on the side of the highway. Contrarian ... I may have to talk you into emailing me the spreadsheet on this league when it's done. Should be interesting to play out with this variation of rules.

At least two different players at each infield position (3B, 2B, SS, 1B, C) and each must have between 150-450 PA.

You got something against outfielders?

That would mean only 9 pitchers per team .

Ok then, let’s include OF’s

Please. Note I’ve. Already picked the years for pitchers.

gworear come join the “carnage”

That looks like a drunk spelling of my name. So I'll join.

Every team rosters 2 Hall-O-Famers.

1 is already WMD, so add 1 more

I was being sarcastic. Your rule locks up 10 of our position players and forces a platoon situation - arguably restrictive.

OK, I think I'm caught up... have tried to capture the essence of the most recent rules in the list on page 1. Let me know if I have gotten it wrong.

Fun making your own rules

Clarifying questions on Rule #8: Can we draft a player with an OF "primary" position and an IF slot as "secondary" as one of the 10 provided we use that player as one of the 10 infielders? For example, could I draft '56 Dick Williams and designate/play him as one of my players at 1B, but also rotate him into the OF if needed to address other OF's rest needs?

no player can have more than 30 stolen bases
