It seems to me that if you don't spend any $ or vast amounts of time grinding tournaments, you're pretty much doomed to be fodder for the teams that do.

If you say something like this, you will...

I think this really depends on the kind of team you have. What works for me may not work for you. How is your defence? What is your ballpark like? These things definitely influence each other.

30 Wins! Whoa, that is rough. I was feeling bad at 41-53.

If I may ask, are you in a spot to be relegated back to gold presently?

Indeed. Despite being decently competitive offensively, we're now 11 games under .500 and in a relegation spot. Considering the team missed a WC spot by a game or two twice, potentially they could...

To me, the issue is not so much the lower leagues being full of whales, but the promotion of average teams alongside them as fodder.

In my team's case, I have had a season with a .500 or better...

I see your plight. I mean, back then if you started the game, you were gonna wear it. Even in the 70's, number of complete games was a stat every pitcher had displayed on the tv.

I love the spirit of your idea. I can't see players spending money on pp to improve their teams being stoked on it though.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Again, I don't really have a problem with that. I just think there ought to be a limit to how many starters you can have coming out of the pen.

I think the advantage is that if you have mostly actual relief pitchers in your bullpen, with stamina of say, 15-21, if you have a few heavy bullpen games in a row, your pen can get pretty depleted....

I can see this making sense in the case of a regular position player getting put in the lineup as a DH. In the case of guys like Edgar and Big Papi, it seems kind of silly. Both of those guys...

Agreed.

Moncada showed flashes of brilliance with an OBP around .350 for a while but seems to not be able to sustain it, especially against tough starting pitching. Facing Steve Carlton, Greg...

I'm rolling with 2003 Eric Chavez right now. He's a lefty bat and his defence has been alright. Before that I was using live Moncada but he has underperformed offensively in two of his three seasons....

I was simply seeking to know if there was a rule regarding number of starters out of the pen. Apparently there is not. IMO there should be, but that is another conversation. Thanks for the reply!

Don't worry. I'm sure the Manatees will rise to the top by the end of the season. My Canadians have a habit of starting strong and them fading after the All Star break.

I'm not talking about having my sixth starter coming out of the pen. I agree with that practice, and have a starter or two as long relievers in the pen myself.

So I'm still seeing teams with an entire pitching staff of starters, aces in the bullpen if you will.

Thanks for the replies, Gents.

At this point we still haven't clinched, and are bare knuckles the rest of the way. It looks like we will just be rolling right into it, if we make it.

Good luck...
