re: Large Baseball Dynasty Sign up thread *The Committee is discussing rules*

Appreciate it.

Ok, I think enough people have responded that i can confidently say we have locked in these settings

Fee:$150 ($200 led votes, but more people suggested 100 or 150. I'm thinking $200 for the first two seasons or $150/year)
Teams: 20 (we won't force it though, but I think we will be able to find 20)
Scoring: H2H
Draft: Snake
Website: CBS (with our size and league requirements we won't have a lot of choices)
Minor League spots: 10
**If we do 5x5
Hitting Cats: R-NSB-HR-RBI-OPS
OPS-OBP-TB all got strong support, if we did a 5x5 I think it would be above, we could talk about a 6x6
Pitching cats: QS-NS+H-WHIP-K/9-ERA
Holds got strong support and with the mechanics of a 20 team league I think you can't have saves as its own category. If we stay 5x5 then I think it needs to be Saves plus holds. It hasn't been determined if you can do net saves plus net holds.


In the scoring section if we wanted to go 6x6,I like what the "mans league" of the ESPN fantasy baseball podcast uses, except use saves+holds(I don't like saves as its own cat when 30-40% of teams will be forced to punt the cat). IP is an interesting one to use and adds some level of strategy. Like in real life the longer your starters go the better.

R HR RBI SB OBP SLG IP QS SV+H ERA WHIP K/9

Good stuff barry

We would need at least a 25 IP per week

id like to play

I thought one of the subscription sites I look at would have it, but they didnt. This is FanTrax final rankings dating back to 2010

Thanks Barry.

I prefer 30 innings (as a compromise to 25 vs. 35 IP) but I wont dig my heels in over it if everyone else wants 25. A few other questions:

How would we define which players could be slotted as minor leaguers? You couldn't just use player designation because so many come and go so often. We usually use an AB threshold for hitters and a combination of IP or Games Played for pitchers (whichever occurs first). Once the threshold has been passed the player cannot be put in a minor league lineup spot. There should also be a rule that players with no MLB time cannot be stashed in active/bench/IR slots.

Then there's the position eligibility question. TDBL always used 5/10 for in-season and season-to-season.

Did we ever decide on positions? CI and MI are usually used in dynasty leagues but this one would probably be deep enough to not require it. The other question would be the number of utility and injured reserve spots. Since the player pool will be much more depleted I would say 3 IR spots but only 5 bench spots. 1 utility spot seems reasonable to me.

One last thing: I know y'all like the live scoring of CBS, but Fantrax makes the administration 10 times easier and you'd never need to add players that are not in the database. Plus you could trade draft picks for the rookie draft each year and the price is lower. Oh and there's that lineup locking issue that would go away. I've gotten used to the scoring.

I'll bring up more as I think of it.

Interested. Just filled out the survey

ETA: Fine with either slow draft or auction. The more minor league roster spots the better.

Plus, strongly opposed to any cap on waiver acquisitions
