If I "don't get" what? What the hell are you talking about? Draft whoever you want, that's all I'm saying.Like I said, I'll just do my thing and draft all time caliber players. If you don't get it, that's ok with me. I'd like to sim against players that are known, not against some ####### sandlot pitcher who threw 600 innings a year in a park with no freakin' fences.Not at all. What I fail to understand is how you can determine whether or not someone calls a player an "all-time great" because of a certain number a player has reached with a single stat in his career. You want to take an abstract term like "all-time great" and make it a "fact" by saying if that "all-time great" reaches some kind of statistical milestone then he's eligible to be drafted. That just doesn't fly with me. I have no clue why we're trying to limit this thing. I don't see what you're afraid of.I'd like to win the sim with a team of the greatest players of all time while playing against other teams with the greatest players of all time.Make sense?Seriously, I don't understand how if we're doing another draft to build a team for a sim, that some people have a different "intent" than to draft a team to try and win the thing? I just don't get it.

Here's what I'm saying:Let's draft a team and do a sim league on WIS. Draft whoever you want. There is no salary cap. We're all starting on equal ground. May the best man win.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? If guys want to sim fish? Great. If guys want to draft all first basemen and play them where ever they want? Great. If guys want to draft Walter Johnson and have him be their closer? Great. If guys want to draft a team made of of solely hall-of-famers? Great. If someone wants to draft only DH's and play them all over the diamond? Great. You want to draft a dead-ball era pitcher and start him everyother day? Great. Let's see who can win the sim using the strategy they want to. That would be fun.
If you want to do a draft based on restrictive rules and snooty perceptions, that's fine. I just don't think that's at all intersting or necessary.

You're right. The reason I'd prefer to lay ground rules is that some nut-bag will draft solely on WIS.com stats, and that annoys me because anyone can sit there and sift through all of the WIS salaries. You know my preference and you also know that I'll go with either option (I'll just whine if I don't get my way

Why can't you sift through salaries? Are you just going to draft off the top of your head? What list will you be using? You're talking about only allowing players that qualify using some predetermined career statistical benchmarks, no? You can sift through that, but you can't glance at a single page of salaries? I just don't know what you're fearing here.You're right.
