I will show undying loyalty to scrubs from Santa Banana that made it from a $20k bonus in the July IFA period to a .210 clip during a September callup seven years later (Daniel Bullock!). I will go to great lengths to have five players each playing five positions on the roster (again, Pinkerton), and I can't draft a star for the sake of my own arse. I cherish RBI as a stat to measure the value of middle-of-the-order batters. Strikeouts and ERA are fine enough to evaluate pitchers. And I will forego a shrewd and maybe strong move if I can get a bad pun into the weekly report instead (oh, wow, Daniel Bullock...!).

That's the main points, but there's probably more. It is obviously enough for a mediocre run.

I came to this thread off of another more recent question regarding season settings. I love this post more than I have any right to. Awesome!
