Official Rules Changes for 2007

[Tim]

Rule change #1 - There will be a limit on the maximum number of pitching starts per week. That limit will be nine starts. Those starts can come from nine different guys, but there can only be nine starts in any given scoring period. It will be up to you to police your opponent(s) as it isn't possible to have that automated in sportsline.

I like the rule change even though this loophole help me win last year. It is only fair to limit the number of pitching starts per week. It would have been better to limit the number of innings but tracking it would be horrendous.

I don't think nine starts works here. It is feesible that a team could be getting 2 starts from all their starters in one week. (5 starters x 2 starts = 10 starts)

 

I think to be fair this number should be changed to 10. Also, I think you should be able to change out a pitcher as long as he has not had his start for that week. For example: I have Maddux in my lineup and he is starting on Thursday but I pick up Jon Garland in a trade on Tuesday with him starting against the Devil Rays on Friday. I replace Maddux with Garland in my lineup on Wednesday.

If your going to make this change you may as well make the change to the value of SB as well.
