16 Players, 16 Seasons, Version 34
Seasons: All
Salary Cap: None
DH = Yes
Division Alignment: Based on Team Salary
Must Nominated a Player in the Hall of Fame (and must select a top 3 salary season)
No Blacklist

This is a 16 team league. Each owner will nominate 1 player that has played 16 seasons* or more in their career. Once all 16 players are announced, a draft order will be determined and each owner will draft a different season of each player nominated to be on their team. So all 16 teams will own the same 16 players, but each with a different version of that player. The other 9 rosters spots will be filled with teammates of your 16 drafted players.

* Note that if a player played 15 years, but played for 2 different teams in one season, that counts as 16 (you'll understand why after reading the remaining rules ). To determine number of player seasons, choose Pos = ALL, Min Games = 0, Check "Include Secondary Positions" and set Season Type = Full/Combined. Both teams of a multi-team player can be drafted (but you must choose the partial or combined season).

For the 16 nominated player, we'll have nine hitters (including C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF) and 7 pitchers (no SP/RP requirement). For players who played more than one position, there will be some leeway on which position he qualifies at. The ninth hitter can be any position.

A selection order has been determined. Post your nominated player (and the season you want to roster) in the forum. Once all 16 players are chosen, there will be a 24-hour window to make changes. We'll have a 15 round draft to select the other 15 seasons used for each player. Draft order for each round will be based on the cumulative salary going into that round (lowest salary drafts first).

Here's where it gets fun
The remaining 9 roster spots must be filled with teammates of your drafted players (including the player you nominated). They must be from the same season. No Twisting. Nominated players cannot be used as teammates. If you draft a player season with 2+ teams, you choose which version of that season you want, and can only take teammates from that team. (This is how a player who played 15 years, but had a multi-team season can be allowed. Or similarly, a player who played 14 years, w/ two multi-team seasons is allowed, etc.). There is no limit on number of teammates per drafted player. Many drafted players will not have any teammates rostered. Some will have two or more. Usually, your nominated player will have a few good teammate options.

Assuming you want to designate the catcher position.

Yes. Please designate him catcher; thanks for the reminder.

I know I'm up, but I'm still researching.

I wont be able to pick until at least late tonight pacific time between research time and weekend schedule

I’m assuming everyone is confirmed but if anyone opts out, I’m happy to join.

I have no idea if this is a good pick, but I don't think it will turn out to be terrible either.
