Here are some important details to note before we get into the nitty gritty:
The league uses points scoring, loosely based on the Ottoneu scoring system (which is all derived from linear weights and true values of BB/1B/2B/3B/HR). We also add in negative points for strikeouts. On the pitching side, innings, strikeouts, and quality starts really drive the points totals, and we add some negatives for homers allowed. Here's the list:
BB: 3
HPB: 3
1B: 5
2B: 8
3B: 10
HR: 14
K: -2
SB: 3
CS: -2
R: 2
RBI: 2
There's some extra points for weird events like grand slams and cycles, but obviously we're not planning around that.
On the pitching side:
BB: -1
HPB: -1
H: -1
ER: -1
HR: -2
K: 3
IP: 6
W: 5
L: -1
QS: 10
SV: 20
HLD: 10
Again, some extra points for things like no hitters, shutouts, complete games, etc.
Last year, it was an 11-man offense roster, with one of each infield position, three OF, and three UTIL spots that could be used for anyone. This year, a MI and CI spot were added as well. On the pitching side, last year we had an eight-start limit. So while there's six SP spots, it's really just about picking the best eight starts you have. This year, we're moving to ten starts per week. There's two RP spots, as well.
Additionally, there's 12 bench spots that could be used for anyone, but obviously those guys aren't generating points. Most teams split them somewhat evenly among pitchers and hitters.
On top of that, there's 13 minor league spots.
Active roster: 33
Minors: 13
As I mentioned, there are twelve teams, and it's a daily lineup system. I think that about covers it. On to the recap of 2023.
