- For members who want to set there lineups weekly you still can just set it days in advance
- Weekly lineups will make members less active. No not all members but some. No reason to sign in and check lineups
- Take away any strategy of playing guys like Thome or Adam Lind only against right handed starters
- Takes away the concept of depth. All you want is the best 5 sp's you can get. no need for back up catcher to play on off days. Just totally diminishes the depth concept.
- The league voted for no start limit (yes, i voted for one) but making weekly lineups completely abolishes the vote. Its pretty much a way around the league wide decision.
- As Paul pointed out teams rest there players at the end. Weekly lineups would not be good toward the end. For example just this past year, I sat Texiera in the playoffs 3 times becomes Girardi was resting him. Weekly lineups would give me no player for that period. Not good.
- It would completely change the way teams have strategized for there future. Example teams with much depth would now be handcuffed. They cant play there depth so in theory they wasted there money and should have just paid a stud more money.
- Time. It is much easier to get one once a day for 10 minutes and look at your matchups than it is to do it once a week and research all your matchups for the whole week for all your players. Plus, if im setting my lineup on sunday, I might not know who the opposing pitcher is the following sunday and play the wrong guy. It would take an hour out of sundays to do the necessary research.
Daily. Reasoning for it, is playing the match ups(Lind is a good example). What I don't agree with is streaming pitchers. We should be able to come up with some rule that everyone can agree on in regards to streaming SPs. For instance, Marcus Thames for the most part only plays against lefties, otherwise Brett Gradner plays left, and Granderson is in center. Against lefties Granderson sits, because he can't hit them to save his life. This is a managerial strategy. Pitching 7-10 sps a week, is yes a strategy, but not one that would be available to a major league manager. In fantasy it is just compiling stats, in a throwing crap up against a wall type of way. If the only way to curb this, is to go to weekly, then I reserve the right to change my vote to weekly. I don't see why we can't do a weekly inning limit. Most teams play 6 games a week. 6x9= 54. Our innings cap should be somewhere around there, IMO.
With all due respect Corey, I think you're reaching to try and push towards daily and contradict yourself a number of times in this thread:
Note that while I say this, I'll admit I am trying to push weekly but this is because I think we need to fix the highlighted defensive and streaming issues and this is a simple, no cost solution (at least no cost in my opinion, but it seems many disagree...)
