What Would Y'all Think of Moving to a Dynasty Format?

From time to time, yes. But, I also carry 4 RP so that I don't have to do that as much.

 

It's no different than picking up an extra bat if you have 10 of your 14 hitters with an off day. It's not like you're running a roster carousel.

 

But it is a roster carousel. If I don't have internet access the week I'm playing your team and I can't add or drop players (only sub in my current roster of players), and you add and drop 3 or 4 players to fill off days, your team is playing with a larger roster than mine is, which isn't really fair to my team.

 

I'm going to give this league my best effort, but I'm starting to believe that maybe this daily line up stuff won't be for me. I'm often gone for lengthy periods of time due to my work. If teams are basically playing with a bigger roster than my team, my odds of winning against whoever is adding and dropping daily will be greatly diminished.

 

If the idea of a successful team is how many times you can fill off days with free agents to score points against your opponent who doesn't have nearly as much time to manage their roster, I don't think I like it all that much.

 

I think I like the idea of daily changes with the 8 bench players you have, but to add and drop at random is exactly why I stopped playing in free leagues. No disrespect, but it I think my biggest problem is that is a real far cry from attempting to mirror an actual baseball team.

 

In other words, if the best team in the league is the team that makes the most roster changes during the season, I'm not interested.

 

I think you are misunderstanding what he does. He doesn't pick up free agents daily. He carries an extra RP instead of an extra bat at all times. He then rotates amongst his 4 RP's. If one guy has pitched two days in a row he will bench him, if one guy has an off day he will bench him ... etc. He doesn't pick up FA all the time he just carries more RP's than most.

I see. He implied that he adds players from the free agent database, and without knowing or at least seeing what he does, it didn't sound much different than what managers in free leagues do with rotating in a whole new batch of players to keep scoring as many points as possible. If that's not what he or anyone else is doing, I can get on board with that.

 

I'm definitely going to need to do some work to my bench before we get under way next week. I haven't played in a league with daily roster changes in years. That definitely changes up how you align your bench.

I think he makes more moves than anyone but he definitely doesn't do it on a daily basis. Waiver order is pretty important or at least was due to the way we handled June draftees. Constantly moving to last isn't a good thing but if I remember correctly he does tend to make moves more on a weekly basis based on that weeks matchups or if a RP has gone to the crapper and a better one is out there.

 

As far as daily changes you don't really need to check your team daily. I do but that is because I have the time. You can set your lineup for the whole week ahead of time if you want. Just know that if you drop someone or pick someone up it undoes all the changes you have made and you will thus have to go back and make the changes for say three days from now again. Basically you can go through each day for a week and set the lineup for just that specific day. That allows you to spend 30 minutes to an hour at the beginning of a week to get as many off days for your hitters benched and choose what 7 starts for your SP's you want to be utilized.

In this league with as large as the rosters are and lack of decent free agents you would be taking a HUGE risk by adding/dropping players to fill off days. IMO it's not worth it.

Exactly. I might have one spot on my roster that is a "revolving door" this season, but that's all you have room for. I'm not going to use that just to pick up someone just because they play on a day that most of my other players are off, but I will use it for finding guys on hot streaks.
