Any interest in a last minute "Different Categories" FFA style Draft (1 Viewer)

This is probably a terrible idea but I'm all about terrible ideas for drafts, so I'm throwing it out there. My idea is a draft in the style of the FFA Music Drafts where we have a bunch of different categories and you can pick any player for any category but you are defining him for that category. Then at the end of the season, it will be ranked roto style 10-1 or whatever number of people want to participate in this ridiculous idea. 

I'm thinking categories could include

Innings Pitched

Most Team Wins

Triples

Hit Batters

Outfield Assists? Or DRS

... and I thought since Gobbler seems to not be happening, we could include

Highest ERA (minimum XX IP)

Lowest AVG (minimum XX PA)

Most Team Losses

First Manager Fired

etc...

So for example for pick one, I might say 1.01 - Most Team Wins - Toronto Blue Jays the next person could go 1.02 - Highest ERA - Marcus Stroman etc...

.

Ridicule and category suggestions welcome.

Sounds interesting. 

How about “homers hit for any team he didn’t play for on opening day”

Team with most interleague wins

For this to work, I think we'd need to choose categories that are relatively deep without obvious favorites.

But yeah, in.

We/I want stuff that is easily trackable too since no league software will handle this, I assume it will be a Google doc and a thread here that gets updated regularly.

Walks taken (by a batter)

Fangraphs best DRS

----

Team Losses

Total Batters Faced

Highest E.R.A (min 35 IP)

There's 8 of us, I don't think we need to have it done by Thursday necessarily, was hoping a few more might jump in late but I'd still run this.

Opinions on these at final categories?
