Say what you want about this draft, Craig Biggio was taken before Walter Johnson...that's different

@UK Cowboy I think maybe the rules need better explaining...

Ok, here goes...

When picking your team, you can select anyone you want. There are statistical milestones that are set. Once you draft a player who hits one or more of those milestones, you lose that or those milestones, as well as anyone else who has hit them.
For example. If my 1st pick were a player who hit .301 with 512 HR's and 750 Stolen bbases, I would lose one of my (5) players that I could select with an average of higher than .300, but I would also lose my one (1) player that I could select with 450 or more HR's as well as my one (1) and only guy who could have 500 or more steals. Because that player hit three different target numbers, I would lose all three.
Now let's say that the first person I drafted hit .299 with 315 HR's and 189 steals...I would lose one of my two guys that could hit between 300-449 HR's(I would still be able to select another guy who hit 450 or more), but because this guy hit less than .300, I would still have (5) players I could select with a .300 average as well as (1) guy who stole at least 500 bases.
Put simply, if you take guys who hit for high average, huge power, and lots of steals, you could have drafted three really good players instead of that one all time great.

Pitching is the same. You could draft 4 great pitchers...one with 300+ wins, one with an ERA under 2.50, another with 250+ wins, and another with an ERA of under 3.0.....or you could take Christy Mathewson and Carl Hubbell and lose out on two, as Mathewson had 300+ wins and a sub 2.50 ERA and Hubbell had 250= wins and a sub 3.0 ERA.

You basically get a few great players then a lot of Mock scrubs, without using a cap

If that doesn't register, find a decent 2nd grade teacher to break it down...it isn't that tough lol

250+ shouldnt it be 250-299 then?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I take it 300+ HR’s is 300-449 also?

This is how I see it: why is it worded another SP with 250+ if you cant take a guy with 350 wins. If it said 250- 299 than that’s what it would be....am I overthinking this?

Yes. Way over thinking it. Best summed up in the original post of the chat:

***You lose whatever a player qualifies for***

Just work your way backwards from the top and it makes sense. You can only have one guy who hits the top bench mark, and the second category falls below that.

IDK, I read it as 1 pitcher with 300 wins, another pitcher with 250 wins but not 300.

It has nothing to do with bolded. I am talking about 250+. 250+ means 500 lolzz but I see it means 250-299. I will repick

 

[Nosferatu]

The way I thought about it was if 250+ wins meant as many as you want even over 300 that would make the 300+ wins a requirement not a restriction.

I think it could have been worded differently, but I think the premise is easy enough to understand. I think it should have been you can have two pitchers with 250+ wins, but only 1 can be above 300. That way if you could be free to select two pitchers in the 250 - 300 wins if you wanted. IMO.

 

[CitySushi]

BTW, fuck me for not re-reading the OP. I thought originally it had 350+ as the HR benchmark.

I mean you’re right it isnt difficult just wanted clarification bc of the wording. It makes sense.

 

[Nosferatu]

Why have 300+ if you can use 250+ to pick someone with over 300??

I have no clue I just want Roger back lolzz

 

[Shanemansj13]

I thought originally the 250+ was just to give you more options in case the depth was shot in 300+...
