Wednesday 3/19 @ 8:00 it is. I'm fairly certain we will not get consensus on this issue. Everyone that wants to participate in the live draft needs to do what can to be available at that time.

I get paid on the 15th, I can throw down about $20.

Read the thread. I didn't get much feedback to my earlier post. I apply consent through silence on this forum.

To all,

Something else occurred to me. In a 16-team deep league, talent will be at more of a premium. With 20 min innings, it would be easy to fall short if you had one or two pitchers on the DL. One solution is to increase roster spots for another P. That compounds the talent is a premium problem, IMO. Another solution is to increase DL spots from one to two so that the needed spot starter can be picked up without throwing a decent pitcher into the waiver pool.

Does anyone have a preference here?

Increasing the DL from one to two would be helpful. However, if the concern is whether achieving the 20 inning min. might be a problem, then lower the min. innings requirement. The reason for the min. innings pitched is to help prevent a manager from overloading a team with relievers. Although, this may be possible in a 10 or 12 team league, I find it highly unlikely that it could be done in a 16 team league. How many top relievers are there ? Twenty to trhirty, even if you add in top set-up men you'd still have a tough time stacking a team. Most teams will end up with 1-3 releif pitchers. The only teams that would have a chance at 3-4 would be teams with the top 2 ro 3 or last 2 to 3 picks where they would be able to piggy back picks. They would do this at a cost to other areas of their team though.

Good point. And, with a change from W to QS, the value of SPs is increased. Ignoring SP in favor of loading up on closers in order to win the SV category every week means practically giving up the QS category - which wasn't as likely when it was Wins (which closers can get and sometimes aren't the result of a good start). How about 15 min IP?

Sounds good to me.

[schillingouttheks]

Problem solved!

Word, I missed the original categories post. I love it.

I know it's wicked late but is there any chance to move the draft to Thursday or the weekend?
