I appreciate eveyone's feedback. I wasn't looking for a set it and forget it approach. I was looking to either platoon players who are in real platoons but aren't on the same real team (which I guess would be set it and forget it) or, more interestingly, create my own platoons based on hitters lefty/right splits. This is effectively impossible because it's not like on a particular day every major league team starts a right-handed pitcher and then the next day its all lefties.

I think that Catcher is the only place where thats truly needed. It would be helpful at other positions, that way we could set it and forget it... but i think you can still use platoons effectively if you pay attention to pitching matchups.
-
And then you could reset the lineup ahead of the next days games.

I don't think that would be possible, MC...unless you put one at 1B and the other in the UTIL spot.

How do I start 2 first basemen on 4/15 and 0 on 4/16?

Yes you could. You can move guys in and out of the lineup.
-
If I have a lefty and a righty at the same position, but on different MLB teams, then on the same day they may be facing opposite handed SPs. So I couldn't actually start both of them when I want to because they are n't in a real life platoon, they are in a platoon only on my team.

You can change your lineup every day so yes
-
Is it possible in Ottoneu (not asking to make a change to this league) to do the same for other positions so you can make your own platoons that don't have to exist in real MLB?

Took me a little while to figure that out too. It's kinda like a 1.3 catcher league.

Ha, i like it... so you people with 2 good catchers... get your 162 games real quick and then trade on of them to me.

You get 162 games at catcher. You can play 2 if you want to but only first 162 games count.

It looks like we can start two per day, but cannot exceed the 162 game limit, is that correct?
-
The Lineup is confusing... is this a two catcher league???

It won't let me re-set it for 8:30 but I believe I can pause it. Please be ready to go at 8:30.
-
I'm good with 830 too

I'm good with that
-
I'm okay with either 8:00 or 8:30, I really prefer not to start later than that though.

8:30 pm Eastern would be better for me too.

An 8:30 start time would actually help me a great deal also....my son's b-day party is sunday and while I should be back by 8, the extra half hour would be helpful

Im on the edge of me seat with Cobb in another league. Just bracing myself for the bad news. Ryu, Smyly, Doolittle in this league. Another reason I try not to never invest too much in one player.
-
Yeah, Dervish, Wheeler, Stroman...probably a couple more to come before the start of the season. A bit insane. Wheeler's elbow is a mess from what I've seen. Darvish going down for Texas though, that a swift kick in the nether regions for that team.

I would be ok with it... right now ill have to cut my Sunday Funday short because of this draft. Im ok either way though.
-
any chance we move the auction back 30 minutes?
-
Im hearing Wheeler wont even be ready for opening day 2016. Tough break for him. Both deserve to be stashed for the right price though.
-
I can use the money I'll have left from cutting Wheeler 3 seconds later.

i am cutting Darvish the second the draft is over so save your money to get him.
-
2 days till the auction... Any pitcher with al his tendons intact will be coveted.
-
welcome to the league!

Welcome bro! I think you are allowed a grace period to cut some players if you like.
-
Bought and paid, first ottoneu league. I know you will all take it easy on me! (Yeah right)

If anything, post january trades are more meaningful because we now know who is available in free agency.
-
Once again, I'm all for the majority vote, but this is why I disagree. Because there is no reason for a dead period, it benefits nobody. What is the can of worms that it opens?
-
I back Oakland on this, new owner should definitely get a round of cuts, but no trades until we all can.....allowing trading after the deadline could open up a can of worms
-
Thanks Danger
-
If Oakland dislikes it, let's respect that and stick with default rules. We all paid money based on the written rule book, it should take 100% vote to change that.
-
This is my stance on trades until the auction... I think it's a good rule, but unless we have unanimous vote for it, we need to stick with default rules. That should include the new guy. Just my opinion though.
