placidcasual Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 It's a shortened week. If there was a way to sack this week I would but I remember trying to last year and there's no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer61 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I’m abroad with crappy WiFi. I see it is a short week but can’t seem to select line up yet. Is the deadline for that extended to the day of first game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 As always. You can swap players in or out until their team has played a game in any week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Yahoo combines this week into next week for scoring purposes, but I seem to recall our league counts three games (for most teams) as a complete week? Just checking, because this makes roster changes even more important than usual. Cheers. That’s right - standard Monday to Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I would hold off on making any trades for picks just now. I'd like to gauge feelings on maybe increasing the number of keepers a weeeee bit once we get to the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go doubling it or anything but a raise to the 12/15 range. Less wholesale changes could also stimulate more trade action during the season.

Less wholesale changes could also stimulate more trade action during the season. Increasing the keepers gets my vote - 10 makes it very tricky (although that could be part of the skill in building a team). I'd agree something like 12 or 13 would make sense. I think the only way to get more trades happening is if we have more teams. It's just too easy to pick up a decent option from the waivers at the moment and because we have fairly large rosters you rarely have to make a tough choice about who to cut.

Cowshed Chris Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I would be really disappointed if we increased the number of keepers. It's what keeps the league fairly fresh and interesting in the absence of trades. I actually think that 10 is too much. If it was possible to increase the number of teams then great, not sure we have enough interested parties. Is there any need to have such a large roster? I have several guys I haven't played at all this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

same_ol_g35 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I get what you're saying, but it is meant to be a Dynasty league. I agree. That's the point in the format, building teams for not only the current season but for the foreseeable future. With that in mind I think that's why you should have so many roster spots. So that you can have some prospects for the future secured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to decide what avenue we'd rather go down. This is a fair point, actually. I'm all in favour of ramping it up some. Is it possible to add age quotas, or separate rookie drafting into the league? If it's a dynasty league, eventually the lack of trades is going to be a problem (of course, the simple solution would be to have more teams, but we're just a tiny bunch, the Baseball thread gang!)

k-ton Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Zach Britton becomes the latest player to go on my list of p***ks. I've held onto him all season whilst he's been injured, he returns and starts to look good again after a slow start then moves to a team where he has no chance of securing the closers role any time soon. p***k.

That’s another point. Holds really need to be a scoring category if you are going to have such big squads. Somebody like Adam Ottavino, probably the best reliever in baseball this year, is effectively worthless in our league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-ton Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I just had a look at the potential scoring categories - hadn't even considered there would be as many as there are! But aye, holds seems like an obvious one to add. Perhaps introduce a fielding category or two as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Definitely have a look at these in the off season. It's good to get some input from everyone. As always, whatever the consensus is I'll implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just trade back I suppose If it can't be cancelled by our commish, I'll happily veto it for you if you've both changed your mind! Thought it looked like a cracking trade all in all though. We need more of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
