Short Season Pro Leagues

GiantYankee · 03-06-2014, 06:27 PM

Developing a 12 or 16 team league with 82 or 84 game seasons. I enjoy playing out games and I actually have a chance to finish a season with half the number games. What settings do you guys use for short seasons? Pitching, rotations, roster sizes? Do you adjust league modifiers? Any tips or suggestions is appreciated.

I have done a lot of leagues that have 3 man rotations and play at the weekends. Games are friday, saturday and sunday. It was good. I also play 16 game season, inspired by NYY23. Only one starter (2 in the college feeder).

I tend to use a small roster size because you dont need as many subs so you have to more dynamic players as backups for the batters. Stats will obviously differ quite a bit with players playing less games but I dont mind all that much. I usually leave all the modifiers as normal.
