Leagues Drafting Today - March 06, 2019

After a couple years off, I'm looking to start a new "experimental league." The settings will not be the same year over year, and we'll try to keep things fresh with different stats and roster-building ideas.

This year, I'd like to try to maximize tactical weekend play.

To this end, I've introduced some anti-streaming categories in addition to the usual suspects of categories to end up with H, R, HR, RBI, SB, OPS, Hitting Ks; W, L, QS, Ks, ERA, WHIP, SV+HLD... I'm hoping with this mix you'll have to balance whether or not it's worth it to play, say, Stanton against Sale on a Sunday.

I've set total season moves to 84 (4/week); and capped weekly transactions at 6. (so you'll want to figure out when to conserve moves to preserve 6 moves/week in the playoffs.)

Rosters will be a full 25 man roster this year, but with very short (3 man) benches, and 4 DL spots. (The object is if you draft a guy, you should be able to keep that guy unless you want to trade/cut him, not just because he got hurt and you can't stand the missed production).

Managers joining will need some prior yahoo experience, as I will kick out anyone who shows no history (or poor history: consistently placing at or near dead last).

I'm setting the draft for this Wednesday (tomorrow) at 5:30 pacific (i.e. after work). Do not join if you can't make the draft please!

For next year's settings, I'm open to all suggestions!

Cheers and thanks for your consideration.
