So here’s your scenario. The Red Raiders have made it to the final game of the College World Series. With Tim Tadlock at the helm, you have to put together the best line-up possible in order to bring a national championship back to Lubbock.
But there’s a catch. First off, Tadlock will only manage players that he has managed before. So basically you’re picking the best players from 2013-2019. Secondly, there’s a limit on who you can have on your team. You only have $36 to spend, so you have to be wise with your money. Actually we can’t pay college athletes, so we should make it scholarships or stipends.
The game is pretty simple. You have to fill out nine players for a starting line-up, a starting pitcher, and a couple relievers. For each position, there will be players listed from $1 to $5. You have to pick a player per position and try to build the best team you can.
I know some players can play multiple positions, since this is college baseball and players move around all the time. If you want someone to play a different position than the position listed (Ex: Move Holt from RF to 2B), you just have to add a dollar to that player’s total.
