    Similar seasons draft league

    New draft league idea. This one focuses on single seasons that are similar. I've put together a list of 289 similar seasons. Looking for 9 more owners who are willing to accept the challenge of drafting a 25 man roster. After drafting is complete we'll vote to determine playoff pairings and then I am going to use a baseball simulator to sim the results for the 7 game playoff series. Will post the play by play results of each game. Should make it quite interesting. So who is up for it?

    The Dark Knight is the best movie I've ever seen.

    Sure, 289 players total. 20 players to choose from at each of the 8 positions, and 129 pitchers. 10 teams @ 25 players each = 250 players. Should be 39 non drafted players left over
