Before the draft begins, we will have to discuss some rule changes, so think about some of these issues before tomorrow and we'll vote on them before the draft:
1. Eliminate pitcher streaming - We can't have it so that someone can pick up as many pitchers as they want in order to take wins and K's. Well, we can, but I think it's kind of unfair. There are a few different ways to salve this problem. One would be a category change: changing K's to K/9 and changing W's to quality starts or adding losses. This keeps you from piling up starters to get the highest totals, but you may also be able to stream for quality starts and I'm not a fan of adding an extra pitching category (losses).
Another solution is enforcing an innings pitched limit or a moves limit. By creating a season lone moves limit or a weekly moves limit, you would have to choose you pick-ups wisely and you couldn't really "stream" as much as spot start.
We could also use a free agent acquisition budget with no $0 bids allowed, this would limit everyone to less than 100 moves on the season (a mark only a handful have passed over 5 seasons), and they would have to place the highest bids for the players they want.
There's also the option to change nothing. In five years we've only had a couple of minor accusations and for the most part everyone is trustworthy. I'm just trying to eliminate gray areas.
Personally I'm a fan of the moves limit. It doesn't change the landscape of the league too much but will keep someone in check if they are doing too much streaming. I would set it around 4 or 5 per week but that's something we can vote on as well.
2. Money - It's going to be $50, $75, or $100. Bring $100, prepare to vote on it.
