Just confirming: standard active roster and 27 man reserve? Standard 5x5 categories?"What we need in the United Stated is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness but is love, and wisdom and compassion toward one another and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black." -- Robert F. Kennedy, April 4, 1968, from a flatbed truck in Indianapolis, as he informed the crowd of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.Comment

Larry, you've got 1 C and 2 UT listed in your previous message...should it be 2 C and 1 UT?Comment
-
Al I changed that in the last league. If you guys want 2 catchers and 1 UT im fine with that one.
With the draft and hold 2 catchers kinda stinks. I found this one out first hand. A catcher on your team gets hurt and your stuck having a backup catcher in you lineup that gets 6 AB's a week or somethingComment
-
I'm a purist, so I prefer two catchers but will go along with everyone else. Yes, you can get burned by a weak hitting catcher (or two) but that's part of the challenge.Comment

When we get 15. You guys can decide.
I get the being burned part. Its just a lot worse in a draft and hold. I think it was Pb last yr. He took Sal Perez and lost him for the year and had backups for the rest of the year basically. That kinda changed my mindset on it in this format
But like I said. After we get 15. We can do a poll for 1 or 2 catchers. Im fine with any decisionComment

Last year, with the HR explosion there were 32 catchers that had 10 or more home runs...catching is not as weak a hitting position as it once was.Comment

I"m OK either way re: 1 or 2 Cs.Comment

I'm not a purist - I don't find getting a second catcher or a backup any fun at all. Taking the top 15 catchers plus one or two backups each pretty much exhausts the pool of usable offensive players at the position.Originally posted by agellin View PostKeeper league: 12 team mixed keeper 5X5 (R,HR,RBI,SB,OBP X QS,SV+HLD,ERA, WHIP, K/BB) - turn-based auction draft $260 budget

I suspect that Hank Aaron (at age 85) may have been able to hit 10 HRs last year.Originally posted by agellin View PostComment

Well sure, but stick him behind the plate and I suspect base stealers would run on him.Originally posted by Cigar View Post2021 Teams: Pandemic Petrels - 15-team mixed redraft (HQ Forum Masters); Patioboater's Puddle Ducks - 15-team, mixed, slow-draft-and-hold (HQ Slow Winter Draft); Regal Beagles - AL keeper (I-96 League), on hold for 2020.
