Platter,
Sorry things didn't work out as you hoped in this league. Here's a couple notes on how we got here.
This league is the only game we designed specifically so players would only be eligible at one position. The determination of which position the players would be eligible at was done two months ago and driven by the fact that these leagues were designed as 4 team leagues. While we did spend a fair amount of time building the player pool, the decisions on which single position a player would be eligible at were weighed by the fact that we really only needed to go a few players deep at every position.
When FantasyGuru approached us about doing 10 team leagues a couple weeks ago we decided we could do them but, due to various factors, the player pool would need to be the same as the 4 team leagues. We certainly knew it would be more difficult to find top players at some of the positions in these few 10 team leagues.
So we understand your frustration. We will certainly build the player pool differently next year knowing what we know now. It was just too late to do so for this year.
Again, sorry things didn't work out for you on your DH pick and it soured your experience.

Look at the Sh1t And widely varied DH Poll Real Times Sports Creative Staff has given to CHOICE from for this contest??? Fair!.....Hardly! Criteria of the players that made the list??? YOU GOT ME.
Meanwhile if the policy used in every other league of 10 games played at a position was intact 22 MORE VIABLE PLAYERS Would be avaiable!!!

So Real Time Sports in their Ultimate Wisdom has created a DH Poll (whose Criteria I still haven't f'n figured out!!!.) Of the 33 players on their DH list, 24 are outside the top 200. 2 of which are on major league rosters The rest minor leaguers has beens, etc. Also inside the Top 200, at 178 Heston Kjerstad of Baltimore has been sent to the Minors! The HRs down there don't count! Are you starting to get my drift yet!!

Unlike me assuming the same thing! Or at the very least having 10 games at DH in 2023!! Like it is in every other league! At every other position! Except this Fu6king Contest! Getting dicked when I waited til my last pick, 88th pick out of 90 in the Draft. SURPRISE , You're Fu6ked!!! Did you enjoy flushing that dime down the toilet?!?! TOTAL BULLSHIT REAL TIME!!!
In regards to the dh spot, i just figured it was more of a utility spot, every batter is a dh, it was dumb luck i took Ohtani with the first pick
