I'm in luck in that I happen to like free agency, but I'm only in year two of my random debut league, so I imagine things will start to get crowded soon enough. At my turtle pace, I don't think I'll be dealing with the HOF, or other lifetime achievements, but I love my league so far, thanks to yourself and Vanilla Gorilla for the idea of using player development and re-calc together.  |
Random debut is a blast. Actually, I think you will be surprised at just how uncrowded things remain, especially when it comes to pitching. There simply aren't enough starting pitchers to go around. As my league played out, I seen guys like Hoyt Wilhelm, Heath Bell, Trevor Hoffman and Mike Henneman manning the #5 spot in teams rotation.
I'm not going to scrap my league. I simply want to see if recalc is the culprit. I'm really hoping it's not the reserve clause.
