    Bingo. It took way too long for us to get that formula right, but it seems to work!

      The more the merrier. But please don't recruit friends who quit in the middle of the season. That's worse than not having them in at all.

        Yes, I think this is very good. I wish speed and pure hitting were more important but that's not the model's problem, it's the way baseball is currently played and it is being accurately modeled.

          Also, how many innings/week were required last year? Whatever it was, I suggest reducing by 2 or 4 at this roster size, with starters getting pulled earlier than they did in the days of Old Hoss Radbourn.

          Last season was the first time I can remember that final week being a disaster given all the "workload management" that kept star position players and starting pitchers on the bench. I will move the playoff dates if that's what the majority wants (though I may do it anyway since this seems to be the new trend.)

          Being old and senile, I can never remember what the innings pitched floor was from the year before and usually estimate what it should be. I know it's been as high as 40 (too much) and as low as 34 (which seems about right). Again, the trend toward starters being lifted early has changed, but middle relievers are getting more work. It's currently at 34 and we won't go lower, but will consider more (35-38 seems fair) if that's what folks want.

            I'm fine with where it is.

              Absolutely. The hope is that all who join are willing to make the commitment to manage their team each week. You can manage every day like me (and finish first or second in the regular season only to choke in the playoffs...like me!!) or go on the site Sunday evening/Monday morning and have Yahoo! set all your starting pitchers and top position players for the week. Unfortunately, by mid-season, we always wind up with a couple of "dead" entries.

              That said, 12-14 teams is ideal.

                We have eight teams in so far. Due to a snafu, there were emails sent to last year's owners asking to join a renewed league. That league has been deleted, so please join through the link in the first post of this thread. (Pogo Possum and Vestibular Neuritis may have been casualties, but not sure.)

                              Eleven teams are in; need 1 to 3 more.

                              Season will be delayed...but will still draft on March 23.

                                I wonder if the site is smart enough to handle all the off days, or if we're all going start off with ties?
