Rankings

Infield
Infield is the toughest section to fill and it was no secret as eight of the first nine picks were for guys that play in the dirt.
1. Mike G.
2. Randy
3. Justin
4. Islam
5. Carroll
6. Matt
7. Shane
8. Chris
9. Max
10. Brad

Outfield
Outfield is really deep once again, but having a beast of an outfield can go a long way (my team last year).
1. Chris
2. Matt
3. Shane
4. Justin
5. Carroll
6. Mike G
7. Randy
8. Max
9. Brad
10. Islam

Catcher
Catchers do not play a lot of games and get hurt more often than any other position player.
1. Randy
2. Brad
3. Max
4. Justin
5. Islam
6. Shane
7. Chris
8. Matt
9. Carroll
10. Mike G.

Starting Pitching
30 teams with five rotation spots equals a heck of a lot of pitchers. Beasting the pitching cats hasn’t worked yet, but that could change with the new loss category.
1. Islam
2. Max
3. Brad
4. Randy
5. Chris
6. Mike G.
7. Matt
8. Shane
9. Carroll
10. Justin

Relief Pitching
Nobody is punting saves and there’s not a huge difference from the first-ranked team to the last.
1. Justin
2. Matt
3. Islam
4. Mike
5. Chris
6. Randy
7. Brad
8. Max
9. Shane
10. Carroll

Youth
Baseball is the most important sport to value youth. The more youth on a roster, the more chances at finding the next breakout player. Especially pitching.
1. Mike G.
2. Shane
3. Matt
4. Justin
5. Chris
6. Randy

Rule Changes

My bro, Justin, Shane and I went to a Spring Training game on Wednesday and we spent about 80% of the time bouncing ideas off each other for the upcoming season Here's what the deal is:

We all were fans of the MILB team (check the rules or call me for the details) and I was going to make 2 "dummy teams" to put the players that are on the MILB roster and give them bye weeks for the whole season. It should work and I'll do a dry run before we draft to confirm.

The other is the rules involved changing wins to QS and/or changing AVG to OBP. We were talking about other combinations to add losses as a cat, but then we would have to add another hitting cat to make it a 12-cat. With that in mind, we felt that adding losses and total bases was the best option. This would put a lot more emphasis on pitching and chances are the team with the better pitching staff would have the edge in at least 3 cats (era, whip, and losses) vs the 2 (era and whip).

If you guys have any ideas, PLEASE hit up me ASAP.

We were also debating on setting the draft for Sunday March 13
