So when assigning our guys to a position, to we have to use the year that we've selected, or can we use any position they've played extensively throughout their career?

Like if I pick Miggy 2012, do I have to use him as a third basemen (as thats what he played that year) or can I use him as the 1B on my roster?

Chud has my next pick.
I was really hoping to draft a team with Barry Bonds and Albert Belle has my corner outfielders.

Well... he's the closest, but I still don't think he's on Piazza's level.

Offensively clearly not. That defense might close that gap though.

I say they have to be at the position they played in the year you are assigning them.

I feel like we rushed into this draft.

The site designates positions for each players. Miguel Cabrera is a 3B for 2006, 2007, 2012, 2013 for example. So you'd have to use 2012 Miggy as a 3B.

Hey, this is my dream team, shouldn't I be allowed to tell a guy who normally plays 3b to get the fuck over to first?

There are no DH's. Our pitchers are hitting. Hence all the Dontrelle Willis talk
