Okay, count me in!
I signed up.
Rotisserie is definitely better for baseball, so I'm glad we went with that. I do have a few suggestions about the league parameters that could be discussed. I'm signed up either way, but they might make things a little better. Certainly worth discussing.
1- We should have waivers. Baseball has waivers, and it gives a fairer shot at a dropped player. One because lower ranked teams get first crack, and two because everyone sees the player is available, as opposed to just happening to be online at the right time.
2- I'd push the trading deadline to the end of August or Labor Day. The race should be heating up, and big trades are the best part of Rotisserie. I think a month and a half w/o trades is too long.
3- Might be too many categories. I'd drop holds from the pitching side, and hits or walks, maybe OBP from the offense. (or AVG, but both is too much.) I've usually played 5x5... also having more categories for offense devalues pitchers.
4- I don't like a "can't cut list", but that might just be me. Some people like to use up all their starts, and then trade starters for relievers late in the season.
5- Last thing, based on football, I think we'll have a great season, but please-please, if you're not going to stick it all the way out, don't join. This goes all the way to October, and dead teams are an absolute albatross on a league.
Looking forward to a great season!!
