      Has anyone tried to get Todd Zola in one of these. I know he did a non RJ vintage draft once.

        If we're doing decades isn't his all moot?
        If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

          Yea- I was just question the points brought up about contempt players. If we do Decades this is just back burner discussions.

              I kind of like the floater idea and Heyelanders idea for no QUIZY OVEN decade restrictions.

                Yeah ... pretty much was. Also remember that the rule was made back in the early/mid 2000's at the height of the Roids scandal. Seems unfair that the post-Roids players have been bottled with the Manny, Mac's and Bonds of this world.

                    So Decades? I'll guess I'm + Decades also.

                      . Maybe add how many you can pick instead of 3 go 4

                        IMO contemporary should be based on BY and should run 95 to 05. This way you can select Ripken as a normal player (91). Perhaps also consider Contemporary if the majority of career was during that 10 yr stretch.

                          Not to mention every year that goes by the player pool in the contemporary group continues to grow.
                          Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                            Hey, that's what I said! Sort of.

                            And if we restrictedit to 95-05, we couldn't call it contemporary anymore. Maybe RoidRage Era.
