I wanted to get round one up fast so I'm not ready for more picks yet. I'll let you know soon when round two starts.

I'm very surprised that the one player I did get was Roger Clemens, I figured I'd get Knoblauch or Erstad and miss on all the pitchers

This is my first season on What if Sports. Can someone help me here with a bit of strategy based on this leagues rules of no DH. So I drafted Paul Molitor for example, but the same idea for someone like Frank Thomas. If you want to use one of their best offensive seasons, where they happened to play the majority of their time in real life at DH , but played 20 games at 1b, can we draft them from that year to be our full time 1b, or do they only get to play 100 ABs or whatever because thats how often they played the field in that season?

I either started off strong or more likely I have no idea what goes into a good WiS team.

Ivan Drago posted:You can play a guy at any position as often as you would like. There is no PA or defensive restriction in that sense. You could play Molitor all 162 games at SS if you wanted, although this would be a terrible idea since he does not have any ratings at that position. The exception may be RF which sees the fewest opportunities. In general, anyone position player can play any position for any length of time. It's not capped. generally infielders can play in the outfield without it being disastrous, but outfielders in the infield is not a good idea unless they have ratings for said infield positions. i once played jose bautista at ss and he committed over 500 errors.

I don't know if there's a rule against it per se but I honestly don't know why you'd want to.Ivan Drago posted:You can play a guy at any position as often as you would like.

So even if one of my players only managed 300PA in one season through injury, I can give them 600PA? How does this affect their stats?

Julio Cruz posted:I don't know if there's a rule against it per se but I honestly don't know why you'd want to. They will perform very badly if you push their innings/PA limits too much. Otherwise you could use guys like 2003 Eric Gagne as a starter every day. If I'm remembering correctly you can usually get about 10% over their listed playing time without performance degrading too badly.

In your case, if you only have 300 PA then that's all you're going to get. Like Devo says though, you can usually push it a bit before they completely fall apart.

I think, generally, better pitchers can be stretched a bit more too because it goes by pitch count as opposed to actual innings. Less batters faced allows for more innings.

in general i think the ideal is something like having a lineup with declining PA of something like 720 700 680 660 640 620 600 580 560 at which point you should be able to use your set lineup every game without getting fatigued and needing to have a bench. in practice this doesn't really work in theme leagues because the theme restrictions but the basic PA requirements hold. having 950-1000 starting pitcher IP and at least 1400 good pitcher innings is more important than having enough PA i think though.
