I just thought using FF guys you take the Rogues/thiefs and make them speed demons to give Hamilton some competition in the Stolen Base category.

    I guarentee you this guy would be the first pick...

    I'd give a rough draft of what I'd expect in terms of how many players need to be each 'tier'

    My idea was because then we could have an inside joke when players take hits from the RNG. Maybe do fictional killers like Game of Thrones characters, a Tale of Two Cities characters, etc?

    I think saying we're glorifying serial killers is a bit much. It's a sim league on a website shared by the same 50 people. It's not like I'm praising them on Facebook or something like that.

    I don't find what they've done as "cool" at all. But I do find the psychology of serial killers and the gruesome crimes against humanity interesting.

    I think it's a fun idea, and one that I'd enjoy spending the time putting together.

    The former director of the mental health facility I work for ran a fantasy football league, in which the team name theme was serial killers. He was "Pol Pot".

    to each his own. I have enjoyed your league and mean no offense. If you find behavioral science interesting, that's one thing... Naming your stud draft picks after real serial killers is quite another.

    Jack the Ripper was actually what drew me to Psychology, strangely enough.

    Re: Choose The 2017 Draft Theme

    Draft class themes are half of the fun to sim leagues....at least to me.

    I mean, I'd roll with whatever the league goes with there, but that's just my opinion.
