kensei, I believe it's your pick in the hitter draft for Two Man Band. Please don't take who I want.

I picked, and I am sure it will be terribad.

Also, I can't get the instructions on how to add players for ineligible positions to work :?:

I went with a high OBP guy who had C eligible position seasons in Anson. I thought about just a modern high OBP guy, but I realized that having a C would lead to a lot less passed balls and hopefully stem some of the stolen bases; conversely, Cap has some stolen bases in addition to his high walks, and I hope to exploit the people who don't pick catchers at all...

Wouldn't it be better to do this in the WIS forum thread (especially so the other owners can see that you're getting 200k guys)?

I did, I was just thinking Art was here more...

ManifunkDestiny posted:

how do I draft people out of position? I can't seem to get Ichiro to be a shortstop. He doesn't come up when I search for him in the draft center

Get the player ID of the Ichiro you want, then go add any random dude to your team as a SS. Right after you do that, the URL of the draft page will have the player ID of that random guy. Replace that number with the appropriate number for the desired Ichiro year and hit enter. Now Ichiro should be your SS!

I am sitting this out because it's hockey and I just started working so my time is a bit short, but keep me updated on the progress.

I am not a hockey fan but this is pretty highly praised so I am willing to give it a shot.

Hey Kensei, I got a sitemail from teveritt saying that your 200k player got a hit and then drove in the winning run against him in the clones league. The rule is those 200k players need to be at rest at all times. So yeah, don't let those dudes play.

Whoops I thought those guys were on rest but they were not. Fixed!

Bob, your lineup reminds me of something. Do you guys not designate closers and just have a bunch of setup guys for some reason that I am just not aware of? Closers cost money or?
