  • Agree with the St.

    Walker Buehler's Off Days... on January 16, 2020 12:50 AM

  • I lean towards enforcing the rule, but with this understanding - I don't think it matters in the rules if the major league players are healthy, aka, actually able to 'start' - what matters, it seems to me, in the spirit of the rules, is that there are 22 major league-rostered players, not 22 *healthy* major league-rostered players. So if your 5 SPs are all hurt, that's no issue - but you should have 10 MLB pitchers (again, I don't think SP vs. RP really matters), 5 MLB OFs, etc.

  • (character limit is no fun) I did try in the second half to hit the innings minimum last year (got close!), but was my team really helped by Tanner Roark being in my rotation for a few months?

  • I'm ok with either way, but enforcing this rule would be a disadvantage for rebuilding teams, especially filling out starting pitching. I know last year if I had to choose between a ~80th ranked prospect or like, Andrew Cashner, it's a pretty easy choice to leave that SP slot empty. RPs are easier since you can always grab a decent ratios guy for cheap, but the replacement starter level is terrible. I agree it's no fun for teams to be empty, but we should be clear about the tradeoff.

    Roberto Big Piece and the 69ers on January 15, 2020 9:39 AM

  • as long as the spirit to comply with the rules is there, I would vote to continue the way it has been - remember, no money is involved, just pride! hahaha

    Can't CUTCH This! on January 15, 2020 9:23 AM

  • 2-cents. (1.) ...all teams should try to get to the min/max of innings/games, so that the standings are true. (2.) I believe the reason why there are two Catcher positions is that in today's game its tough to max out the 162 games if you only have one C. Obviously, if you hit the max or are on pace to be over the max you can drop the extra catcher... (3.) Minor leagues are part of the strategy; but, there are more than enough roster spots to fill a lineup and retain minor leagues if you want.

    Can't CUTCH This! on January 15, 2020 8:46 AM

  • There were definitely points last year where I didn't have 22 healthy ML players on my roster, and forcing teams to carry 2 ML catchers (which I think the rule requires?) seems unnecessary when there are only 162 games to fill. So my vote would be to continue not enforcing this rule, but I understand if others feel differently.

    Smoak and Mirrors on January 14, 2020 5:40 PM

  • I trust everyone in the league to play by agreed-upon rules, but we should be explicit about what they are. I've had portions of seasons where I had fewer than 5 healthy RPs, and still reached the IP min (and usually max). Injuries happen, and anyone can easily be short a MI or an OF at times. I think the intent of the rule is everyone is playing the same game, rather than having one or two teams totally full of minor leaguers. Is that needed?
