Neither. I'm not suggesting a change to push any personal agenda. With that said, I don't care to have true fantasy aces nor elite closers if you want to know my fantasy philosophy. I think an increase provides a good balance for everyone... not to punish anyone. Sorry you can't see that.

First off, I'm not trying to come at you. Don't be defensive, we're just talking here.

You prefer balance and I think guys who keep stud pitchers and build a solid 5 man staff should have an advantage. It almost mimics the real thing. It's ludicrous to expect 14 teams to run 7-8 starters deep to reach 35-40 innings on a week to week basis. You have the same opportunity everyone else has to build a team. Maybe your method doesn't work for this type of league but does in another type?

I think Roto is for balance. H2H, especially one like ours w daily lineups up to the first pitch of a game, is about being better than the other team that week. You have full control day to day of who you want to start or don't start. It's strategy. There has to be an inherent advantage somewhere if one team is going to be crowned better than the other.

As we talk about balance, 9 teams had 100+ QS last year. ERA ranged from as low as 3.1 to as high as 3.9. WHIP 1.1 to 1.3. No team had a K/9 over 8.5, but 10 teams were in the 8s. It's all pretty balanced as it is.

You had the worst whip and k/9 last year. 2nd worst whip. 3rd least in saves. You did have the 4th most QS, though. Idk what else to say
