WM Proposal #13 – Adding a FA after Deadline

Example:  S. Richmond, a Free Agent, is scheduled to start wednesday night for Toronto.  In the past, we have been unable to add these types.  Let’s change this allow Richmond to be picked up that week.  Of course, Richmond needs to be activated prior to the start of this teams game. Same would apply for [...]

WM Proposal #12 “The he’s a SS because he played two games rule”

I’d like to double  this from 2 games to 4 games.  Having players with multiple position eligibility in SOT can be nice advantage.  I’m not looking to take this away, but just because a player lands at a position for two games, doesn’t seem like enough for me to say that player should be given [...]

WM Proposal #11 – Net Saves & Holds

It appears Net Stolen Bases was a success this year.  How do we feel about making the same happen for Saves and Holds in 2010?  I still have that spreadsheet from last year EE if you need to see how it works.

WM Proposal #10 – “The MoNathan Rule”

Fuentes 42, Mo 39, Nathan 37, Wood 25… What do they have in common?  They led the league in saves and weren’t owned in SOT.  I think we all understand that the SV isn’t a perfect stat (what is?).  I think we all understand that closers are overrated.  I think we all understand that closers [...]

Winter Proposal #9 Weekly Moves Submission

Anyone up for changing the way we submit moves every week?  I think we know the answer to that one. I propose to use the SOT website to submit all weekly moves.  I created a basic one that we can test prior to the season to see how it works. I would also like to [...]

Winter Meetings Proposal #8 Reserving Players after Deadline Based on New Information.

Reserving a Player who may be placed on the DL or sent to minors prior to the start of the Game. One of the more controversial items that come up during the year.  Example:  Wednesday at 6:30PM we learn Laporta was sent down to AAA.  This is past the 2:00 PM deadline so WTNY wasn’t [...]

Winter Meeting Proposal #7

Should We Change the Current Tie-Break Rule? I’m not proposing a change, as I think the current rules are adequate, but I think it is worth the discussion and review. If someone has a good idea for a new system, here is the place to lay it out. Currently, in the event of a year [...]

The Rule that we have to # our New Rule Proposals

Let’s make it easy to keep track of and reference these suckers.  No #, No vote.

The Jair Jurrgens Rule #6

Should we re-evaluate decisions made by the league/commish that involved the rewarding of a player due to a multi-player deal.  For example, the league voted to award to 101 the player in the Jair Jurrgens/Gorkys Hernandez trade.  In hindsight, it’s VERY obvious that we made the wrong decision.  I believe in cases of black and [...]

Josh Fields Rule #5

- Should commish notify all teams when a player is available because he wasn’t activated within the two weeks required.
