MLB115559 What the heck is this, anyway? What If Sports is a service for simulating leagues of historical sports players, and Sim League Baseball is the only one that's worth a poo poo. Want to pit the Ruth and Gehrig Yankees against Koufax and Drysdale? Want to have a pitching staff of all knuckleballers? Every historical season from 1885 on is ready to be slotted into whatever team you choose! Pictured: the platonic ideal That sounds good, so why are we here? The theme for season 27 is Four Horsemen! All players are assigned one player from each of these four lists: - most expensive position player each year - least expensive qualified position player - most expensive pitcher - least expensive qualified pitcher Your horsemen must qualify for leaderboards in order for you to qualify for the playoffs (that means 502 PA/162 IP!). You'll then fill out your team with players from the four years your horsemen come from, with the following stipulations: - any other horseman is off limits; no using '15 Jake Arrieta if you get '15 Pablo Sandoval - you may send one horseman back and get assigned a new one - the salary cap is $100 million - there will be no DH, trading, waiver acquisitions, or AAA - Clones are allowed. There's a decent amount of people who have years clustered close together and otherwise that puts them at a disadvantage. - Your eligible ballparks are any park one of your horsemen played in in his career Post in here to sign up! When you sign up I'll give you your initial roll of horsemen. Players: 1. Bob Shabazz (1935 Arky Vaughan, 1995 Todd Zeile, 1963 Sandy Koufax, 1908 George Bell) 2.

Cool, I'll tinker around when I have a chance later, but Denny Lemaster (as far as bad pitching horsemen go) and '85 Boggs seem like pretty legit rolls.

2009 Jason Kendall is bad. But I think it could be much worse. Ken Forsch on the other hand. Ouch!

# ? Mar 4, 2016 18:18 |
|
Sure. Using multiple versions of the same player is fine, there's just a limit of one each per year you have assigned. So if you had 2004 and 1994, you could use '94 Larry Walker and '04 Larry Walker, but not '04 Walker's Cardinals split and '04 Walker's Rockies split.

Goal for tonight or tomorrow is a big post about team-building, since we have people who are either totally new or haven't dealt with a salary cap/evaluating players across eras.
