2025 Degenerate Fantasy Baseball League

F Me In The Brain

Draft order is determined randomly 30 mins prior to draft.  (Same as most ESPN.  )

I changed to 28 at your suggestion, I think.  Happy to lower.  I think 15-16 is fine.

20 innings please.  I'm not sure how high we should go so you have to load up on SP's rather than Relievers.

I think if you have 3 starters at 6 innings and a few relievers 20 is fine.

Anyone else?

F Me In The Brain

I'm good with 20 if that is ok for all

I want to be democratic with this too.

I'd like for someone whom didn't go nuts with pitching be able to win some things, lol.

F Me In The Brain

Makes sense.

truth is, 28 innings is not a lot of innings over the course of a week (we use 25 in most of my other leagues)....nothing worse than it being set too low and teams winning 2 or 3 categories in pitching (ERA, WHIP) because they have 1 or 2 aces that start once a week and then qualify.....forces you to use your staff , not just choose 1 or 2 matchups....like hockey, and having a goalie play 3 minimum of times a week.....if you have a good goalie on a good team that plays all the time (eg, tampa), you don't even need another goalie on your roster.....forces your hand a bit, because your basically playing the hitters on a daily basis no matter who they are against...i'm easy with whatever

Agree with this 100%. Too low allows someone to just grab a few elite relievers and win all the percentages.

OK, let me know where you guys all land with this.

25 is the right number?  That really means 6-7 pitchers, which everyone should carry anyway, right?

I let people try to game it with Relievers and a few top SPs in other leagues.  Have yet to see it work out well. 

ed243421

Sounds good

tempo_n_groove

25 innings is good.

Lets do that.

F Me In The Brain

ok, changed.

Draft time update ideas?  Not sure what is open....

eeriepadave

any objections to a later draft time?

H.Chinaski

Yes to a later draft time please. After 6 would be best for me. 

ed243421

Is Sunday 6:30pm eastern ok with everyone?

Dave can you miss the game or auto draft?

tempo_n_groove

630 is perfect
