frick closers. I drafted 4 relatively decent ones, and I have the #11, 22, 42, & 131 RP to show for it.

That's why I suggested doing 3RP. I don't think it would affect anyone's keepers for next year, I doubt anyone has more than 3 keepers.

Always open for a rules/roster change discussion. But what exactly are the arguments for making the RP roster change? No one has really made that clear other than a couple of owners complaining about how tough it is to find more closers/saves in this league. That in itself doesn't promote change; that's an adjustment in strategy that owners need to take going forward. So what issue is currently going on that needs to be prevented in the future? As the only team successfully running with the 6 RP strategy (by successfully I mean currently in the playoffs if the season ended today), I feel this is geared directly towards me.

Not geared toward anyone
This league places way too much emphasis on guys that pitch one inning at a time
Everyone does it. I just slammed my toe up against the coffee table racing to add Ryan Buchter ... Ryan Buchter

I don't work 9-5. So I would appreciate it if you and frat would limit the small talk before 10 am.
I swear it's like being in a group text with a pair of 16-year-old girls at times

But standings currently show there isn't any overall benefit to loading up on RP. Only 2 of the 6 current playoff teams if season ended today roster more than 3 RPs. Yes to your point - half the league rosters 4 or more RPs. But if only two of those teams currently qualify for playoffs, is it an issue that needs to be policed? So far, it isn't helping most of the teams doing it.
There are only three teams currently using an extreme RP strategy (5 or 6 RPs rostered): I roster 6 - in 1st. One other owner rosters 6 - they're in 7th. One other owner rosters 5 - they're in last. You couldn't get more diversity from teams using the same strategy.
Just seems like some owners want to make changes just for the hell of it without any logical reason behind it.

Hey, this guy makes too much sense.
I vote to replace him

The point is that fantasy baseball is supposed to mimic regular baseball. Its the reason we have positions for our hitters and not just "hitters". All the leagues I play in other than this one have SP and RP specific positions.

I'm looking at more than just this one season.
Honestly, it's not going to change my philosophy. But I've always thought this league places too much emphasis on relief pitching.
How we can change that, I'd leave it up to the rest of the league to decide, if they choose. Because, like I said, it won't ever impact my keeper/draft strategy.

Yeah but you're a professional, barry warry. Most default settings are 2 SP, 2 RP, 4 P like ours. Not everyone plays in them baller leagues like you.
I'm fine with league majority on whatever is decided. Just trying to find reasoning behind it other than the first place team has a lot of RPs.
Edit: and you lie, Barry. FSBDL doesn't have different categories for pitchers.

Why not just use that to your advantage? It's not like saves count double in this league or anything. In the end it's just 1 out of the 10 categories available.

If you think this is about you being in first place, you are suffering from delusions of grandeur. You aren't the first person to execute this strategy. Ask Frat.
