I would argue that dropping the IP threshold would have enough of an effect that we don't need to explicitly reward for IP (you'll need to optimize the IP you have), but we could hash that out.
Part of the argument for 85 IP was that some GMs had 6, even seven starters and it wouldn't be fair to them.With this in mind,I'm against arbitrarily lowering IP during this season. I haven't had the time to read all the posts but I'm confident you guys will find a solution that will make the league better.The only request I would have is that we don't implement any major changes this season. Give everyone an off-season to adjust
i dont think any one member in the league has a bigger voice than any other. We almost all agree that a small simple change is needed. Hec, the Nieman and Price example is only one. But you could easily find many many more examples on a daily basis.
I agree with Roy that earned runs should be included.
Please review the links in the post Dan linked that dispute the value of ERA to accurately measure a pitcher's skill and provide links to counter articles that argue in favor of ER. If the articles I've cited are wrong and there is info out there to disprove them, then we should certainly discuss that, but I have not read them.
