I respectfully disagree with those limits in OLs, I think 4500PA and 1200 IP would be good.

I didn't write that it was my ideal, I just wrote I could live with it. For the record I completely understand why this is being done. Right now it is just too easy to build a good playoff team by shorting PAs and IPs.

I'd suggest 1250 IP and 5250 PA.

And I'd slightly increase the value of PA since they count towards this minimum

In the game I can play, you can update at any time.

I wouldn't put a requirement any higher than 1100 IP. If you're in a huge - park, why should you have to draft way too many innings... especially when it's perfectly all right to rely on AAA for low-leverage IP?

I can see the development problems if you're trying to design for multiple picks. A single proxy pick should be easy - just go down the list until you hit an available player. If you load for more than one pick, tho... heck, I'd have a hard time setting a priority list if I had to account for more than one pick at a time. My #2 need/want would be different, for instance, if my 1st pick was Herb Score, or Harmon Killebrew, or Sandy Koufax.

Because that is changing as well.

Season long fatigue is going to be by IP rather than PC. So you should need about the same number of IP to pitch in Coors as you do in Petco.

People: don't underestimate this change. This update is going to require a MAJOR paradigm shift.

That's too bad. I would love to see that. I can't wait to see what we've got here


Actually, I think its still wrong. Is it fair that in a game that has 30+ runs that all the hitters get tired and none of the pitchers? To be fair, the same criteria should be used with pitchers as they do with hitters-PA. They essentially have the stat, otherwise they couldn't figure out OBA and stuff.

2 new cookies. Frank O'Rourke and George Baker. no one will actually use them, they'll just waste roster spots for the cheap PA. and Dad Hale becomes the new favorite mopup man.
