Need some help setting up a league (1 Viewer)

[bigmarc27]

The group of friends/family I started playing fantasy sports with was always on Sandbox.com way back when playing fantasy baseball. It was a total points league where you could get 162 games started per fielding position, 162 SP games, and 80 RP games.

You can replicate the hitting on ESPN, but it isn't as easy for pitching. They'll only let you sort by games started (which I believe you would never run out of RP games) or Innings pitched.

What would be the best way?

An example of how it used to work.

Say Pujols went 2-4 with 2 dbls, 2 RBIs, and a K. He's score 7 points for that day (2 pts for hits, 4 points on total bases, 2 points on RBIs, and -1 for the K).

Halladay could pitch 7 2/3, get a win, 8 Ks, 4 Hits, 1 Run and would score 36 points (23 for the innings pitched, 10 for the win, 8 for Ks, -4 for the hits, -1 for the run).

Elite hitters ended the year just over 4ppg and Elite SP would be around 22 ppg.

Actually, ESPN just added the ability to enforce games played by position this year (used to be just total games played), so you're lucky there.

As far as I know, there's really no way to limit teams to a certain number of RP games pitched in. You pretty much have to decide if you want to do an IP limit or GS limit. Both will pretty much leave teams with the ability to use RP's as much as they want. I'd probably just use the IP limit.

One thing that will help is not using "P" slots. Teams will be limited to using the pitchers it takes the fill the RP slots, plus whatever loop-hole guys there are (real-life relievers with SP eligibilty).

I've never done a points league, but I'd think you could just add make it do the scoring you want.
