RC Decision - rule proposal
« on: May 20, 2012, 06:04:38 PM »
Since we voted that the IP limit in this league is 65, and Fantrax does not govern that whatsoever...I propose a rule that if a GM goes over 65 IP for the week, then that GM forfeits the week. The only way I can see to make this rule effective, since Fantrax does not, is to have us GMs do it... I also vote that this shoudl take effect immediately since the 65 IP rule has already been put in place.

I'm a little confused by this proposed rule.  I asked how the innings would be monitored prior to last season when the idea was first tossed around to limit innings per week.  I was told that Fantrax monitored the innings and that the only limitation to the rule would be that you could go over the innings on the last day if you were under before the day began.

What has changed since then?  Has Fantrax stopped monitoring innings pitched?

I am pretty sure fantrax us working, just look at some of the Boston games. Fantrax has alway allowed a team to go over the limit for the day.

I think that if someone goes over the limit, that days points should be voided for both pitchers and hitters. The days points can be subtracted from the weeks total and if its early in the week the rest of the week will be voided. I feel voiding the whole week is too much.

Fantrax does not eliminate any points scored on the final day of scoring. Freddy's idea is a way to do it, and I would be open to that. If you are at 64 IP at the end of Saturday, and you have 3 starters going on Sunday, all of those points will count. I counted several teams that went over the IP limit this week, and if Fantrax isn't doing anything about it, then I feel it is the duty of the RC to uphold the rule of not crossing 65 IP.

Dan, fantrax has always handled inning limit this way and it's part of the game. Imagine if a team is only at 40 up heading into Sunday and has 4 Sps going on that day. Is it fair to void that enTire day if each sp went 7 innings? My recommendation would to be make no changes this year, and next year change the limit to games started ( I think we did discuss this option last offseason but we went with innings pitched for some reason)

I am in agreement with Freddy here.  I suppose this situation illustrates the need to shift to games started in offseason?  Real life managers do not manipulate their rotations on a game to game basis as they do their bullpens.  To have such a severe penalty tied to something so arbitrary is dangerous IMO.  I see a scenario where a team enters Sunday's games with 62 IP in a tight battle and then has to "roll the dice" and decide to sit a guy who might go 3 1/3 innings and ruin his week.

We had this issue in NBA Futures and elected for the Fantrax hard cap.  Teams then had three chances throughout the entire year to post within that next week that their lineup should be adjusted.

Fantrax does monitor this, in all baseball leagues. I had teams not get points in leagues because I went over the innings and starts limit.

Im not on the RC but this is preposterous to say you lose automatically. For some people (like me) I am super busy on weekends and not on here much. So I set my lineup on Friday. If I came on Monday and saw I lost because I went over the inn limit, there is no doubt I would quit the league, obviously my schedule or life doesnt fit the time requirements needed to be in this league.

    May 05, 2024, 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.

  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development

  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
