Any thoughts on rules? I try to make it so you can't take too much advantage of the rules. For instance, the 42 IP per week means you pretty much have to run out 6 starting pitchers- you can't just run out a couple of aces and some closers to scoop up some points.

I also try to make things balanced so pitchers and batters are fairly evenly balanced (tho pitcher inconsistency still makes picks more interesting).

The one thing I won't do, however, is make the league so large we're picking up the backup infielder off the Royals (that would be Willie Bloomquist, ugh) because the free agent pool is so bereft of talent. We still want good players on the team.

Ok, all that said- I'm open to change. Anyone with ideas on improving the rules or are we good to go?
