I dont really care but the rules were when we started this that you had to take someone who played last season. Dont think you should change the rules in the middle of the thing.

If it gets the thing to move quicker, I'm all for it.

Its not like this thing is ever gonna get to the game stage anyway.

Exactly just the more reason for him to take Buster and get this damn thing over with so we can all move on from it.

Hey, I know those were the rules for the NBA gig, but it wasnt stated on this.....if everyone agrees, lets keep it rolling?

Um..no.

Or I would have selected Posey or Heyward already.

James disagreed so make another pick. Lets keep it moving

What we should do if we finish is tournament format, rather than a full season.

24 teams. Random draw. Each matchup can be a best of 7 series.

That would narrow it down to 3 teams. Maybe a quick round robin from there to figure out the top 2 teams and then a World Series.

Would be easier to sim because you can keep the rosters and just run 7 games, changing the starting pitchers each time.

Good idea but something tells me this has died a long and painful death.
