VOTE - Weekly or Daily Lineups

[Colby]

FGM GMs, we need your vote.

It hasn't been made clear in a previous vote if weekly lineups were truly supported.  We have passed rulings on fixing eligibility constraints and regular season tie-breakers.  The vote here is simple - vote Yes for Weekly Lineups or No to keep Daily Lineup changes.  Please voice your opinion in this thread as well.  This poll will run for seven days.

I'd prefer weekly but the only thing that makes me hesitant about it is injuries.  If I set my lineup on Monday and one of my offensive players gets hurt and misses games it puts me at a big disadvantage.  There are pros and cons to both types of lineups.

There will be an official injury/demotion replacement thread if we continue with weekly lineups.  This allows the EC to override your lineup based on your request.

I vote for Daily. Here is why:

- 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.

These reasons are why I choose daily lineups.

I chose daily. I got caught too many times last year not being able to change players from one qualified position to another. I realize that most of that was because of the defensive stats and that they have been eased/eliminated. But can't we keep defensive stats if we go to daily?
I think we have basically put a cap on the SP so that shouldn't be a problem.
Besides, I check in every morning anyway so...

[MillerTime]

I simply prefer daily.  That is my vote.

daily

[rcankosy]

Daily.  Greater flexibility and control over your record.

[h4cheng]

Voted weekly. Hard enough to compete against teams that double your salary, at least with weekly lineups I dont have to worry about facing 10 SPs.

[Paul S.]

I vote daily and agree completely with what Corey said.  I can live with weekly lineups if the majority prefers but would like the flexibility and participation that would result from  daily lineups.
