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. 
If winning the sim isn't important to people, why are they #####ing? Somebody explain it to me. If you don't want to win the sim, that's fine! Just don't force others to share in your apathy.

If we made the 2nd one only HOF eligible players who would LarryBoy draft?

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?

we can't do that because we'd run out of players...If we made the 2nd one only HOF eligible players who would LarryBoy draft?

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.

He cheated.May our next draft be long and glorious, and may I win it again.I'd like to thank you--because you've been with me through all of this, even when the others were carping and whining. Really, this whole thing wouldn't have been as fun for me without you. to WHIP and OBP.
