The concept behind this league is very simple: to win, you must pick players who suck. But just picking terrible players who never play won't be enough - you need the players who are crippling their team day in and day out with strikeouts, double plays, and errors.

I've stolen the scoring settings from the 2014 version of this league:


I've already invited a couple of people who were in the league last time, if you want an invite, PM me or post your email. Let's Make Bunting Great Again

I've sent out invites to 8 people so far, so there are still 2 or 4 spots left.

Suck History

Last year, Starlin Castro sadly got benched, and so was not able to fulfill his destiny of being the highest scoring player. But this left the door open for an amazing and unexpected season from Ian Desmond! His .233 average, 187 strikeouts, and 27 errors combined to make a season for the ages. Can he repeat in 2016? There's no way he'll be able to make that many errors in the outfield, but 10 or more has been done...

Okay, there are 10 people joined up now.
As for draft time, the only people who expressed a preference on Twitter were in favor of weeknights. I think FairGame is on vacation this week. So, does "some night the week of the 28th" not work for anyone? We've got people from all time zones so it would likely be a bit later at night.

Honestly, I don't know what I want to put here, so I'm going with this.
I know there's no room for a 10-person league, so I'd like to request to be put on a waitlist, provided a 12th person can be found.

So I just kinda found out i'm probably not going to be able to make this draft tonight. Good luck on beating my autodraft superteam, I guess!

I hope you set a preference list! And if you didn't, you'll probably get a couple of players who will catch the Zika virus and lead you to success.

HulkaMatt being the 2nd highest scorer by 1000 points and getting matched up against the one person who has more points than him feels like an extremely HulkaMatt thing to happen.

So is Stephen Drew the perennial MVP in this format or does he run into HRs a little too often?

It's hard to be the MVP when you don't play.

I convinced myself that even the reds could hang a couple runs on 2016 scott kazmir and he has 7 strikeouts through 3.1
