Please, guys, do this. Can you give the Commissioners the option to set some kind of limit on how many starting pitchers can start per week? A starter limit? This will keep people from adding and dropping pitchers every day just to get points from guys that are starting that day. Pitching is becoming a joke and really needs something like this.
200 Starts a Season is aproximately 7 starts a week. A league last year we limited the league 200 starts over course of season and it added more depth to Fantasy baseball as you had to plan out who to start and when to use them.
Well whatever they do I wish they would do it soon because streaming has ruined 2 of my leagues so far..I dont have anything against the ocassional streamer or the weekend push streamer but when owners drop 7 SP's everyday that gets a little too extreme..
I dont think transaction limits will do much good because the owner can still start his rostered SP's and still drop SP's until his limit is up and if the limit is 15 adds then thats pissing in the wind..
Games started limit would be better IMO, because say if you set the limit to like 15 games started a week and you carry 7 SP's, thats 7 starts used up right away and then 2 or 3 of them will have a 2 start week now that maybe 10 starts used up right away, now you can only add 5 SP's all week.
Im in a league on ESPN with no limit, granted its head to head...a few people have hitters on thier bench but a majority have stocked them with pitchers. Nobodies dropping Jimenez to pick up a extra start for a matchup thier behind in, but its forced some people to part ways with a solid pitcher because they need extra starts or points. Take advantage of it, grab quality pitchers as those guys drop um, if they are. Not all NO LIMIT leagues are Fulll of knuckle heads. Ive amassed a solid core of SP because people drop good pitchers for a extra start.
PS... R.A. Happ was my sleeper of the year! check him out at 5-0 in 6 games (Other was No-Decision, first start)
This is the reason I am strictly sticking to weekly lineup leagues. Yes they can add/drop and some what stream week to week but not daily which blows...
I think they said it wont be available until football season starts which is kind of lame because you cant strean in football and doesnt do baseball owners any good until 2011.
Just curious Zac, what Game started limits do you plan on installing in your league?
Just wondering because I seen streaming before but nothing like I seen it on fleaflicker, so I never had to use a transaction or games started limit before...It seems to be the thing to do on flea, I dont know why, maybe its because Flea has only points leagues and its really easy to do in points leagues or maybe its because flea promotes streaming in stream team articles everyday, I dont know..
Its still not that bad on flea but bad enough to want a transaction or games started limit.
It was just going to be for starting pitchers. In our league we have 4 starting SP slots that we wanted to have be like your ''rotation'', if you will. However, guys keep going to the waiver wire every day so every slot has a starter for that day. Therefore, pitchers are worthless and are added and dropped like nothing. A limit would make it so guys would want to hold on to gunslingers, as they would only get so many starts a week and wouldnt be able to just go to the wire and get 28 starts a week.
this is a great thread ! i completely agree with everything you guys have said
whats the hold up fleaflicker ?... limiting starting pitchers would be SO MUCH better as some owners are more active than others and this would level the playing field

He started to impose a pitcher limit per week and then just said to hell with it, to much trouble for the busy man.
