I think it's something that we should add to the rules and circulate to the league if the points system is adopted. We could impose forfeiture of the illegal pitchers points (this is how we handle this in another league I'm in). Given we'll likely playing weekly, head to head, it'll be up to an opponent to raise the issue if someone accidentally places a starter at RP.

NICE!
I just had an opportunity to look at this, thanks for picking it up. Is there any way to tweak the fielding points per position? The only two issues that remain at this point is the overvaluation of defense for first basemen and the ability to place an sp at rp. I think we need some sort of restriction/penalty there, hopefully we can come up with something that's fair.
Overvaluation of defense for 1BThere is nothing we can do about limiting a team from fielding multiple 1B. However, we can reduce the defensive points per position (such as CI and Util).SP/RP limitationFantrax may look into it, but all we have available to us is a straight up min/max for the week. The min/max may apply to At-Bats, Innings Pitched, and Games Started. I suggest min/max for AB and IP and a max for GS.
I think a limit, either innings or games started is a good idea. I don't think a utility player should accrue defense points, as it's essentially a dh. Defense is tough regardless, I just can't think of a way to statistically represent this part of the game that has any meaning. You could inflate outfield and shrink ci but now you have a larger issue if a first baseman is outfield eligible. I don't think I can support including defense because it severely skews players' values and it's no way related to performance. I apologize if this is an unpopular view, I'm just trying to maintain the integrity of the game and would like to see us adopt a system that most closely translates performance.
