Empire league startup: type of league

TKOSpikes said:

Sell it? I doubt it... unless restrictions are customized, it's tough to sell without help. In my money league, it is 15 teams, but we can start a DH or a 2nd C. 12 teams or less makes it much easier that's for sure.

There are about 12-18 startable options eligible at DH going into this season. Others can obtain the eligibility in-season. So it's not like the options aren't there.

The biggest proponent of it though, just retired, as getting Ortiz in the 5th or later was just stupid. Victor the last few years was also great value. How much higher are you willing to draft Nelson Cruz if we had a DH? ....yeah, it makes a difference. To me, it's a good difference.

Pujols... not excited if he is my 1B. Contently satisfied if he is my DH, etc.

No to two catchers. I was in a keeper league that had two catchers and people would run with only one from time to time.

Still don't follow... But love the creativity, even if i disagree with it... Would love to find some creativity to put into this... But not sure if roster eligibilities is where to put it... But i am certainly listening...

What's not to follow?

Jose Bautista would be drafted as the #20-30 OF... as a DH, his stock rises, as does his ADP.

It just makes tacks on a level of "difficulty" during the draft, and expands the roster in a better way than an extra Utility spot, imo.

DH available...

Cruz
Edwin
Trumbo
Bautista
Victor
Gattis
Santana
Morales
Pujols
Sano
K. Davis
Beltran
Napoli
Dickerson
McCann


Donaldson played 19 games at DH last year, so he gained eligibility in-season, but is not DH elig this year (in my league)
Gary Sanchez played 17... etc.

We use 20 games last year qualifies you this year... 15 in-season qualifies you in that season.

Now, maybe this is what you were talking about with customizing the league... But the way i see it, nobody is going to want that second catcher, so it basically is a huge advantage to have a real DH... and you'd be lucky if there would be 24 eligible at that position during the season(depending on how many games a DH has to play to be eligible). so the pool of eligibles are so small that the difference between the replacement player and the average starter is so huge that you created a position scarcity at a made up position... Bigger scarcity than ANY other position... Which i just have a hard time giving a positional scarcity to a position that plays half the game...

MilkSpiller22 said:

if we get more people then of course we can change the starting roster size, but with 12, it would be too shallow of a legue to have only 9 starters... and part of the fun of a dynasty/empire is to have depth.. it is important...

Does anyone have a problem with this scoring?? @jwolt92 , @Chef99 , @molsaniceman , @TKOSpikes , @DHoey , @obxyankeefan , @bksballer89 , @TJL , @broncosmitty , @redseat

Offense:
FULL categories- BA, XBH, SB, K, Runs, BB
Half Categories- SB%, HR, RBI, GIDP

Pitching:

the full categories- ERA, H/IP, BB/9, K, QS

the Half categories- S+H, IRS, W,L , HR, IP


I think I got the balance good between the 3 types of hitters(speed, Power, and average) and the balance between SP and RP... I know many have a problem with IP as a category, but we had to find a SP only category to give the edge back...

I like IRS- inherited runs stranded- as it is an actual RP performance stat... Wish we could have used IRS% but that was premium...

Lots of stats I wanted to use were premium... these were the best I found for free... And we need to help @redseat out...

Maybe it's a message that I was inadvertently left off the list.... I think it's best if I skip this league. I'm not going to have the time necessary since I'm still working full time and taking my last 11 credit hours to complete my electrical engineering degree. Next year, I can add more leagues and if you guys have a spot open up at that time, I'd likely be interested. I'll do MBBRL but I better keep it to just the one active league for now. Sorry.
