Yes on 1

No on 2.  We have 6 more catchers in the pool.  No need for this change anymore

On #1, are we keeping the rule that states RPs can remain RPs until they make X number of starts, or is it enforced after 1 start?

1 start.  There would be 54 relievers needed.  There are plenty of my of closers, closer committees,’set up men for this.  If you want a SP/RP there are 8 spots for those players.

If my math is right, #1 has 6 yes votes and #2 has 6 no votes, so one more vote is a majority for both.

I believe methods vote passes #1 and sends #2 to the deepest darkest realms of hell.   We'll, it's defeated.

Just throwing it out there, but if anyone would be interested in trading a comparable young SP for someone like Riley Greene, Andy Pages, or Noelvi Marte, feel free to reach out.

Updated the positions on fantrax.

When the draft starts I won't put pitcher that it is going to flex between starting/relief in a RP spot.  If you have a young pitcher that is going to flex between starting and relief they belong in a SP or P slot.

I've mentioned that Will Smith is available a few times (he's still available). But I haven't put Jose Altuve's name out there as much. I know he's getting old. But if he was currently in the draft pool, he'd be ranked 20th in projected points for 2026 (behind Cody Bellinger at #19). He'd be 23rd in average draft position (behind Bo Bichette). He'd still be a mid-to-late 2nd rounder in the draft. You can get him for less than that now.

Even with a deeper draft, Teoscar Hernandez will probably go off the board in the 3rd. Robbie Ray and Brandon Lowe will go in the 4th or 5th. They're also available for much less than that right now.

And if you're rebuilding, Matt Shaw was a consensus top 20-ish prospect a year ago. Carson Williams was in the top 10 on every major list (except Baseball America, they had him at #11). Seems like a good time to buy low.
