The only fantasy baseball league this year

Due to the other keeper leagues ending, I am creating 1 “Elite” league. This will be a points only league with a WEEKLY line-up change (Monday). Points only eliminates playing anyone in a H2H where they just give up or forget to set their line-ups. This will make the league competitive without having to hawk the wire or constantly worry about changing your line-ups too. The point system is rather simple. A hit is 1 point. A HR is 3 points. RBI is 1 point. Wins are 2 points. K’s are 1 point. It’ll be easy to following like reading the box scores in the morning.

All players will be available per the wire ONCE they’re called up too, so nobody has to worry about prospects who aren’t in the majors yet. This isn’t a keeper league anyways. The scoring is simple, yet robust. The commitment is weekly not daily and best of all, we still get the have an auction draft and build a great squad. I also added 1 extra DL spot so we don’t have to get depressed when we suddenly get hit with the injury bug either.

I’d like the buy-in to be $50 considering we aren’t doing some of the other leagues.
1st place: $400
2nd place: $200

If you’re in, let’s do it!

Yeah, I see you made earned runs -1. That offsets innings pitched of 1. Keep that.

I would change the setting on minor leaguers and just make them available out the gate. It's not a keeper league so this setting won't effect much.

The reason...Ohtani...He is not available in the draft as of right now. He won't be available until he makes his debut per the current setting. Thus, it's a waiver grab for who has priority. This is a player that I'm sure people will want to bid on. There are also 2 of him in the league. A pitching version and a hitting version (That's fucking weird.)

Sorry had to bail on this one, don't think I can make the draft time and don't feel like wasting the $70 Canadian it's going to cost me if I can't pick my own team.
