What do we do about players who weren't with one team long enough? Do they not qualify at all? (Like Teixeira, who's about 7 games short of being a Ranger )Last edited by Wade8813; 02-23-2011, 12:28 AM.

Originally posted by BigRon View PostIsn't that why there are cutoffs? Every number is arbitrary in a way, but if we start sliding a little, where do we place the boundary? If Teixeira, perhaps someone will find someone who was 16 games short of 700, or 12 games short of 400 at a position. Ty should tell us, but I think a cutoff should be a cutoff.
If guys dont qualify, they dont qualify, plain and simple!
The idea here is to create a challenge and limit the player pool. Otherwise, every draft is the same using the same player pool-everyone who's ever played MLB level baseball

The good news: RuthMayBond and Buzzaldrin contacted me. RuthMayBond will be participating, meaning we can start! I will PM everyone to get us ready. I plan on starting tomorrow, Thursday, Feb 24th. The rest will be summed up in the message."Allen Sutton Sothoron pitched his initials off today."--1920s article

Another question - I know LF/RFers are interchangeable. Can CFers also play corner OF?
Do we give credit for time in the NeL for players that played there and for MLB?Last edited by Wade8813; 02-23-2011, 05:48 PM.

Originally posted by Tyrus4189Cobb View Post8) Out 25th roster slot is a wild card that goes to any player who qualifies with at least 300 games for a team non-existent with the 24 ones in 1969. (Dan Brouthers with the Buffalo Bisons; 439 games).
2. How does this square with the 400 game minimum at a given position. Can the "defunct team player" be any position? Is there a lower min. games threshold for this player to qualify for a specific position?
3. How many minimum games are required if the "defunct team player" is a pitcher?
4. Must relievers be represented? May relievers be represented? There was some differing points of view on this in the last draft. Are there minimum eligibility requirements for reliever roles?"It is a simple matter to erect a Hall of Fame, but difficult to select the tenants." -- Ken Smith

If someone played a lot of games for both a defunct franchise and a modern franchise, can we use that player for either?

1. In the first post it says "at least 300 games for a team non-existent with the 24 ones in 1969," so I take that to mean the answer is one specific defunct team.
2. I think the purpose of the 25th roster spot is to include 19th-Century stars who bounced around a lot due to the instability of the era. Since the best players managed to have lengthy careers despite their teams folding, I'd say the 400 game positional minimum should still apply.
3. Since pitchers had larger workloads in the 19th Century, I think 300 games is still a good cutoff.
4. Tyrus said in post #31 that he wants to keep things flexible, so I'm guessing you could choose a staff of all starters if you wanted.
If I'm wrong on any of these, feel free to correct me, Ty.

Put let's keep it 200 games for 19th century pitchers."Allen Sutton Sothoron pitched his initials off today."--1920s article
