As much as I would like to join you since I love visiting Chicago and Schubas, it is not in the cards this season.

But I do have a question about the innings minimum. Last year in our 12 tm NL league, with 10 pitchers per team, only four teams were over 1200 IP. Do all your teams clear that hurdle?

IP Minimum

Maybe one or two teams do not meet that minimum each year. Always the guys at the very bottom that have chosen not to spend any more money. The other teams do not benefit in points. The teams that do not meet the minimum zero out in ERA & WHIP.

Update: It looks like an old school team is rejoining after a length absence. That 12th spot is still open.
