I’d like to propose going back to SV+HD rather than SV so that setup men carry value

Looking forward to it

Just a FYI if we go back to wins and SV+HD then the setup men RP will probably carry too much value. One or the other would probably suffice if we want the setup men or RP to carry more value.

I believe the reasoning for changing from QS to wins was because early last season a lot of pitchers were going 5 2/3 and we were missing out on QS. As the season wore on it became less of a factor because SP were starting to get stretched out. Last season we had a shortened ST which led to less QS to start the season. We were all in the same boat so no one had an advantage.

Yeah, I personally didn’t care for the season we had SV + HD. We then reverted back.

I do think it’s good to hear everyone’s proposals regardless though.

Just awaiting replies from Honkus and TThomasJr. I would guess Honkus is in and TThomas waffles and then hops back in two days before the draft lol.

It would be nice to get another owner or two in addition to Honkus and TThomasJr of course. Lol.

I’ll be putting it to vote in a google form.

Let’s confirm if TThomas24 is returning + consider 1-2 new owners first.

ESPN New Baseball Format

Just a FYI to VKC that some changes were made to ESPN and you may have to make some adjustments in order to keep the same format we had in years past (# of players per team)
