I'm not against you here NC, just pointing out the confusion. FWIW that was the same week that I put Valverde back in the lineup after benching him for a -10 performance. There's been a lot of confusion in regards to the rules this year. Personally I think we should get all of this ironed out before we get further in the season. I definitely agree. Before this season I was always under the impression that suckiness was NOT a reason for making a mid-week switch. I thought it could only be done for players who were expected to miss games due to injury, trades, players coming off the DL, or players being benched or sent down by their major league teams. I was surprised to read that switching due to slumping was allowed this year, but given that I decided to use it. So far it's made virtually no difference; the difference between Greene's and Cedeno's performance yesterday was less than one point, and it was actually the player I benched (Greene) who had the (very slightly) higher score. I don't think anybody in the league is trying to circumvent the rules, but it's hard to follow them without knowing what they are. I don't think switching due to suckage should be allowed. I made a decision last week to play Ankiel over Scott and the difference was almost 20 points in favor of Scott. Of course, my pitching sucked so I wouldn't have won the game anyway, but in a normal week 20 points could be the difference in winning and losing. This has happened to me again w/ Ankiel this week and I have not moved him out of my line-up. Next week he will not be in my line-up. He'll probably score 50 pts. :lol:
