In on this.

e: do we have to submit a year for each player? Or do we pick a year once we've claimed a player?

Once you successfully claim a player you get the exclusive rights to all his years. But you don't have to pick which specific one until you submit your team.

Maybe late but I'm also against shrinking the player pool.

For the bonus pick can you also get shut out in that?

Also I will help the new people out a bit.
This is a totally generic rear end "I want to find a good player" search. Barry Bonds is really good. You can refine further but this is where I always start.



And now the same for pitching:



You will obviously want to put in a minimum IP/162 value to find starting pitching. Hopefully this gives you new a people a little head start.

I don't think trading really adds to this format at all. It's already a no cap league; come with what you get.

Doesn't that mean we actually have one team too many? Not the opposite?

We do but WiS supports 26 team leagues, I'm pretty sure. Just can't have an odd number. I really don't want to kick someone out thanks to my mistake.

Yeah I wasn't sure if we could do a 26 team league or not. I know we can do 28.

I don't know if there's a rule against it per se but I honestly don't know why you'd want to.


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?

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.

I'm likely working 12 hours a day from here until December 25th so I won't be able to get picks to you until 7 or 8 each evening. Except on my days off. If I get any of those.

My only SP is Tanner Roark. My pitching is more not good.


I can't remember the exact rules of picks 6. Do we only do 6 rounds, and then draft the rest of the our team based on all the rest of the nonblocked players? Because if we do 24 rounds, there's literally going to be no one left.

We do rounds until everyone has a 25 man roster

I have 4 SP's and 4 RP's and I only have 1108 innings. That's probably not so great. Who the hell could even be left at this point?

I've only got 1056 at this point. Welcome to Pick 6.

Going by the last roster you posted you've got about 200-300 more innings than you need so you should be fine.
