I'm always open to rule changes. If you have any, post them and I'll create threads for discussion.

I think we need to add suspensions to the list of reasons you can make a postseason drop. Michael Pineda got suspended for PEDs during the playoffs this year and I couldn’t drop him because it wasn’t an injury. In real life, MLB teams could drop him from the 25 man roster and replace him.

I would like to explore the possibility of ending the season a week or two earlier than we currently do. Seems like a lot of our league gets hosed by innings limits and real life teams making roster decisions (i.e. resting players) in advance of the playoffs. The overlap with fantasy football kinda sucks too.

The overlap with fantasy football kinda sucks too. I've considered the idea of changing to 3 divisions of 4 teams. 17 week season. 3 games against your own division (9 games) 1 game against the 8 in the 2 other divisions (8 games) Playoffs would be 1 week each unless we wanted to make the ship a 2 week matchup. The season would end in week 20 or 21. Just piggy backing this proposal. I personally like baseball more and would prefer a longer season but I'm not opposed to the idea here.

I'm somewhat indifferent on this one. We can definitely put it to a vote.

I agree with this. In another league we shortened the season similar to this and it seems to work. Especially with playoff teams resting players down the stretch. The season is over before that becomes a big problem. Only difference we made all playoff rounds two weeks, which offsets any advantage two start pitchers give some teams in pitching cats.
I've considered the idea of changing to 3 divisions of 4 teams.
17 week season. 3 games against your own division (9 games) 1 game against the 8 in the 2 other divisions (8 games) Playoffs would be 1 week each unless we wanted to make the ship a 2 week matchup.

The season would end in week 20 or 21. Just piggy backing this proposal. I personally like baseball more and would prefer a longer season but I'm not opposed to the idea here. The questions that would come up with this idea are: 1. How would divisions be decided? I'd say we go by prior standings by win pct. Division 1: 1, 4, 7, 10 Division 2: 2, 5, 8, 11 Division 3: 3, 6, 9, 12 2. Who makes playoffs? A. Top team in each division and next best 3. B. Top 2 in each division which would line up with how we do it now. I'd personally say A. So we get the likely best 6 in the league. 3. Length of playoff matchups. Right now the league ends in week 24. If we end the season in week 17 under this format, we could do 2 week matchups and the ship would end in week 23 but I'd think that 1 week being shaved off might not avoid what we're discussing here. We could do 1 week matchups in the first round and 2 week matchups in the last 2 rounds.

Good stuff! I would also like to propose a change to scoring. As it stands right now, an 8-6 week doesn't amount to much of a win. Implementing a H2H: MOST CATEGORIES setup maintains the cat format, but an 8-6 is a straight-up win, so you move to 1-0.

We could add an N/A spot maybe? Sucks to get punished so hard for a players bad decision. Not exactly something you can account for at all when selecting guys to roster.

All I want to do is be able to drop the person that’s suspended. I’m not looking to be able to keep them and add someone else to the roster. I just want to be allowed to drop and replace them in the playoffs.
I’m indifferent on 3 divisions, but I would like to be able to have 2 weeks per playoff matchup that ends a week earlier than we end now. Most teams don’t start resting guys until the very last week. If they have a huge lead, they might start earlier but 95% of playoff teams don’t rest until the final week

Implementing a H2H: MOST CATEGORIES setup maintains the cat format, but an 8-6 is a straight-up win, so you move to 1-0. I'm personally 100% against going back to this way of scoring. I like more games shown. I dont like the 1-0 2-0 2-1 format because a few losses in a row and you fall far behind. I think it hurts the league as people tend to lose interest early. With this said,I'm not against going to 6x6 instead of 7x7.

If we are going to vote on going to 6x6, can you state which categories will be dropped?

We could remove holds and saves combine them. I believe theres an option for them to be 1 stat together OR holds count as 1 and saves count as 2 (still 1 combined stat). I'm open to suggestions. I also think we should consider going from Ks to K/9.
