Anybody want to take a flyer on Nick Lodolo cheap?  Like 12th for 13th rounder, scrub minor leaguer, or decent enough RP, etc.?  He came off the IL tonight and is not off to a great start, so I'm probably cutting him in two days.

Here is the more radical plan that Tico thinks people would hate.
Hitter Strike outs go to -0.5
Pitchting Points get reworked.
IP: 4, ER: -2, QS: 4 W: 3 L: -2, Save/Hold: 5 Blown Save: -2

As for Biases:
Logray's Bag: Pitchting: 3,803 (3776), Hitting: 4,800 (4228): Overall: 8603 (8,004)
Red Hornets: Pitchtign: 4161 (3952), Hitting: 5842 (5268): Overall:  10,003 (9220)

The point totals aren't 100% match because I'm not going through and calculating every roster move.  With how the rosters stand right now, I'd be further behind Curt with the scoring changes.

Same question.  How does a cap resemble in any way with MLB?

How does a 15 waiver limit resemble the MLB?  We don't have a bench like a MLB team.  We allow up to 8 starters.  The league isn't a pure reflection of MLB teams.  It is an attempt to come as close as possible to mirroring running a major league team.

The cap allows an easier way to enforce people carrying starters and relievers on their roster and limiting streaming of pitchers.  It would not effect any team that is sticking with current set up and limited roster moves.  It would only be an issue for people that are trying to stream or carry a team full of starters.  Openers aren't the problem in the league.  They barely score any points when they start.  The issue comes with players like Rea and Assad that bounce back and forth between the rotation and bullpen.  Or starters that follow openers if they are given relief eligibility.  The problem is with how the league defines who is a starter and who is a reliever. 

The league in the past tried to combat issues with creating increasing more complex rules, when sometimes it better to find an easier solution to limit the problems that people are wanting to address.

Valid point on 15 waivers.  That was a 20 year old concession to the fact that the Commissioner had to make all moves.  Could be done away with, but then we would be just another Yahoo league.
Not having a bench is invalid.  We have extra starters every night.  An extra catcher, outfielder, MI, CI, and UT to mimic a major league bench.
This league started with 5 starters and 5 relievers.  Newcomers insisted on increasing the numbers over objections.  Whose idea was the last expansion to 4,4,4?
Our original rule was if a reliever had 5 starts he had to be an SP.  That wasn't good enough for newbies.

5 starters, 5 relievers isn't a reflection of the current 13 pitcher staffs and it isn't reflective of how those pitchers are used.   MLB isn't the same as when this league started.  In 2000 there where 37 starters with >200 innings.  67 with greater than 180 innings.  16 relievers had >30 saves (8 had 30 the year before),  Last year 3 starters had >200 IP, 21 had greater than 180 IP.  8 relievers had more than 30 saves.  Of those 8 relievers 1 had 30 saves the year before and 3 have 5 of less saves this year.  For hitters in 2026 the league wide K% is 22.1%.  It was 16.5% in 2020. 

With 14 teams there are 42 MI needed just to fill 2B,SS,MI.  The 45th ranked MI has a slash line of .230/.315/.267 for an OPS .583.  He's ranked ahead of guys that have nearly league average offense.

True that the game has changed, but our changes have not kept pace.  5 starters and 5 relievers is what our founders thought would be a fair distribution of pitchers 20+ years ago.  It was also an attempt to keep pitching and hitting points balanced.

Perhaps it wasn't as true to MLB as we wanted, but some suggestions in the past 5 years are nuts.  I look forward to the lockout.  LOL

The Brats place Riley Greene on the IL and sign Andruw Monasterio to replace.

From Curt: An extra catcher, outfielder, MI, CI, and UT to mimic a major league bench.

I don't think anyone purposely uses 'bench' /utility players in these slots...with the number of teams in the league and with injuries, an owner can pluck starters for these positions...EXCEPT the 2nd catcher, that , like I whine about all the time, should be eliminated, and maybe replaced with either another UP (ugh), or a true bench slot that gathers no points, so owners can put players (like Austin Riley) on the bench until they get their heads straightened out.
But, I dont know if fantrax allows that...
