c) maybe I need to think about it.
5a) (only if we choose prizes) do we want to pay for add drops?
b) No
6) Amount of teams
d) 20
8) stats
9) Amount of stats ( X hitting stats by X Pitching stats)
Offensive: R, RBI, (SB-CS), OBP, SLG, GIDP
Pitching: W, SV, H, ERA, K, WHIP
I hate the idea of adding K to hitting stats. An out is an out. I'd rather see GIDP since it is much more detrimental to a ralley and adds a level of unpredictability. I really like using SLG instead of HR because it greatly increases the value of all non-HR guys. I think it's a much better indicator of offensive production.
(SB-CS) is also great because it penalizes a player like Juan Pierre who, even though be piles up a lot of SB, he gets CS so much that it is almost detrimental to the team. On the other hand, Dave Roberts and Podsednik were almost perfect last season.
If the league is large ~20 or more teams, the closers will be gone fast. People will have to stock up on MR guys who have zero value other than K's, ERA, and WHIP. Adding H gives the players value and discourages the stockpiling of closers since you need H and SV.
10) Amount of players This includes all roster, bench, dh and utility position
f) 25
25 is an upper limit, we really could go down to 20. We should not exceed 25 since ML rosters can exceed 25.
11) Injured list
b) one
c) two
I think we should add in a provision that players cannot be kept on the DL for more than a couple days after they lose DL status. That way the players cannot be hidden.
12) Waiver Time
c) 2 day
13) Vetoes
c) League votes veto
