can we consider saves plus holds?  tired of reliever roulette……

Completely on board with this

 

[Chemical X]

even it you want to make holds its own cat, maybe add troubles as a hitting cat for 6x6 (doubles plus triples).

 

[jamny]

In!

 

[jamny]

@RnR If there's anything I can do to help, let me know. Gladly jump in as Assistant Commish to get this rolling.

 

[greedygoat]

Out!

 

[shady inc]

Probably in.

Got half a title to defend.

 

[MAC_32]

I'm taking the year off. I'll plan to return next year if there's a spot open, but I have too much going on right now to make time for magic baseball.

 

[E-Z Glider]

Im in for ANOTHER bottom of the league finish!

Opening Day: April 7th

Looking back, the drafts usually go about 2 weeks so we should be fine with March 21st to start the draft.

Putting out the bat signal to some previous owners to see if they want in:

I like this

 

[jamny]

I prefer saves only but would be open to saves + holds as a cat.

I vote saves too, but mainly cause I’m a glutton for punishment.

Its the most strategically tough category and I always like it even though I almost always fail at it.

 

[Chemical X]

@BeTheMatch we might have openings here in the cake relegation league.

 

[jamny]

Does yahoo allow trades to go into effect the day after confirmation? I know the 2 day delay was something a lot of people had an issue with.

We have 2 DL spots. I think adding at least one more should be considered.

I'm open for considering Quality Starts instead of Wins but wouldn't care if we kept Wins.

[Eephus]

Thanks for the invite but I'm going to pass this year. These days I like baseball about as much as Rob Manfred does.

 

[shady inc]

Call me old fashioned, but I'm in favor of keeping the saves and wins categories.  

 

[charlieB]

I am in.

I contacted the Commish and he will be checking in soon.

Looks like we are 13 now. One spot still available if anyone else wants in.

 

[RnR]

Hi friends. Sorry I've been out of the loop this week. I've been a little under the weather and not up to my normal interwebs habits.

Thanks to jamny for doing all the heavy lifting to get things rolling. Impressive

I think you've already earned at least this much of a role, GB.

Yahoo allows for one of three trade settings, I believe. Either "commish approval", "league vote" or neither. Pretty sure you can have a same day turnaround on the latter.

I'm in favor of adding one or two more IL spots.

 

[Aloof]

I'm in favor of banning all Cardinals.

Waiting on the Tom Brady-style backtrack on this to get us to 14. Mac always has time for magic baseball.

So ... we have a draft start date of Monday, March 21.

Looks like we have the following issues to vote on ...

1 - Number of IL spots: A- Keep at 2, B- Expand to 3, C- Expand to 5

2- Pitcher cats Part I: A- Keep saves, B- Move to Saves+Holds

3- Pitcher cats Part II: A- Keep wins, B- Move to Quality Starts

We could also talk about becoming a 6x6 league, but that seems like a 2023 step if the votes for 2022 cats don't resolve complaints.

I'd like some opinions on 2&3 from people that would vote B on those. Pros and cons.

My god, look what baseball’s lockout has done to me! Even my votes mention the dang CBA.

Saves+Holds more accurately reflects how bullpen pitchers are valued in MLB, IMO.

A (B second choice). Waiver wire is thin enough as it is. Gets even thinner with more IL spots

A. S+H seems like it devalues closers TOO much.

1 - B

2 - B

3 - B

My reasoning for voting on both 2 & 3 for B is that they are the most unpredictable categories. Pitchers have had phenomenal years but their team didn't score more than one run a game for them or their bullpens blow it. They are relying on a bunch of other players and coaches to make the right call every time for them to secure the win. We've seen guys with a 2.50 era and 7 wins on the year and guys with a 4.50 with 15 wins. 

With hitters we know Trout is gonna hit .300 30 HR, 100 R and 100 RBI. You know Billy Hamilton was gonna hit .220 but have 50+ SB. We've got no clue who's gonna get wins or save.

Sure, B and B provide a more accurate portrayal of a players talent, but this is magic baseball. Chasing saves, destroying ratios, and getting burned in wins is pretty much what it's all about.

I've given this more thought than I probably should have but this is kinda where I fall. Not much angers me more in this game than watching a closer blow a win for me. I would miss that too much.

Not this year, but I'm glad you found a 14th. If I joined the 14th would probably be the round we're on come opening day.
