I think this is right. There's no real benefit for us to switch the divisions. It would be a novelty. Our goal is to mirror MLB, but there is no MLB right now. Our GMs build largely based off of competition in their division. There's no point in radically altering our season and our plans that we've made for the last few years in our team building.WhiteSox wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 12:47 pm If JP "vetts" him and is satisfied then so am I.
I expect the disk to be available fairly soon. I hope we just plan to play the 162 schedule and if/when real MLB returns we'll figure out how to merge real with where ever we are at in our schedule. I also don't think we need to worry about playing three games at a time to catch up 'cause when real life MLB comes back who knows how long the season will be and how many double headers. I think we stay with 26 man rosters regardless if they expand due to shortened time to ramp up or the fact that they may have multiple DHs. I think we stay with the traditional organizational alignment even if they shift to Florida/Arizona configuration being discussed.
If we turn on the DMB injury I recommend we move "prone" Catchers to "normal" or we will see a lot of Catchers needing to be DLed ... we have had to do this in some other SIM leagues I am in where we are started already because we play based on last year's real stats rather then DMB projections.
No need to do three games at a time like Jim said. The only question is injuries. Sim injuries should absolutely be off. I think we come up with a list of players who we agree that are expected to miss the season, and they're out (Chris Sale, Luis Severino). Everybody else is in. JB gets a bit lucky (what else is new?) with Judge, Verlander in this instance, but it's the fairest solution.
