Just restarted an old league idea that has proven different "Two player platoon forever position & pitcher under 303 IP/162." The rules are (1) Must have 2 players at each position, 16 total {each must have 200-450 PA/162}; (2) 9 pitchers total {ever pitcher must be under 303 IP/162}; (3) Team max salary is $100 mil; (4) NO AAA, WW, DH, clones.

Come join MLB143039

Here are some questions ask before that may help.

Are the restrictions only for the draft or are there also restrictions on how players can be used?

Yes the restrictions are only for the draft; but, I think if you spend the money on 2 players for every position they will be used (even if it's about 70%/30%).

Do the platoon positions need to be their primary one that season, or as long as they have a rating at a position that's OK?

The only restrictions is that each player has {PA/162 200-450} & has played at the position you will be playing him at. No SS playing C without ever playing C.

You may want to provide us with further clarification regarding the term 'platoon.'
There is the conventional RH & LH batter platoon.
There is also a modified platoon for catchers when one catcher handles all the starts for one pitcher, and the other catcher is behind the plate for the other 2,3 or 4 starting pitchers.
And there are situations when two players at the same position have significantly different skill sets: i.e. one player may have 35-40 HR/season potential while the other player may have 60-70 SB/season potential. Your power guy might start against most modern pitchers while your speed guy might get the nod when playing in a spacious park or when the opposing catcher has a poor throwing arm.
There are other platooning scenarios you may want to address. Any further clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks. VM

VanMeter; thanks for these very good questions. The answer is it's your choice how you use them. Hopefully the PA/162 of 200-450 will cause you to find different situations for the two players at each position that works best for your team.

I always put the top number for my IP/162 limit as 303. I don't known if WIS would include 303 or 302 2/3?
