Still waiting to hear from Chief Wahoo and Major Deegan. We will need 2 new players, 3 if we should vote 1911 in.

Ace,

As far as usage goes, I'm all for 100%...but,

Make it a 154 game schedule (make it more balanced too, played in our division way too much)

Use 'force daily injuries'. This is supposed to curtail usage and also simulate a manager not knowing who can play until game time. My feeling is that given the choice a manager will use a player past usage and try to sit him out at the end of the season. Didn't work out well for RJOH. And Chief had a lot of guys over used. Not fair to the last place team who had to sit his 1 (-4) catcher alot of times during the year.

I agree with ktoe on all three points.
Play 154, even out the schedule, turn injuries on (not sure what daily injuries does) but also turn on automatic injury substitution (like netplay 1)

When are we opening this up to some new blood.

Seems to me, if someone hasn't posted/voted by now, they aren't interested.

I agree that OVER USAGE [b:5b0625fe04]MUST[/b:5b0625fe04] be stopped. There is NO reason to do this. We are all intelligent enough to look at the card and see 500 AB's and KNOW that this fella can't go to bat 600 times. Anything else is blatant cheating. I also agree with the 100% usage only.... no extra at all. I do think a more balanced schedule would be nice, perhaps a few more games in your own division, but not heavily so. BUT I see nothing wrong with 162 games either. With 30-35 players all that means is you sit guys from time to time. We had 100% usage in NP1 using the '34 set and there were only 5 players overused for the entire season...and that was by ONE AB or ONE inning. So there is no reason really that we can't do 162. I will be fine with 154 if thats what everyone wants, I just think if we already have the draft done and the season going, why cut it short?

I also perused our season just finished. There were only a couple of players over used when looking at 11 teams...and most of those on the teams where there wasn't really a manager. Admittedly some of them were blatant, but when HAL is running the show its hard to monitor. I think I found a total of 6....from 11 teams. However the 12th team 11 players over used....or 7...depending on what exactly the cut off point was. This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen. This should have triggered game forfiets.....and should have caused a change in the standings. ALSO I think this type of thing should make the over used players inelligible for the playoffs....you bat ty cobb 700 times....he don't play in the playoffs.

I am NOT in favor of force daily injuries. This is supposed to be an honor system and should be followed by each individual without worrying that somoene wil ltake advantage....If I have Ruth and he isn't hurt...I don't want to start the first game and find he can't play. I----MYSELF will control usage...after 2 complete seasons I haven't over used a player even so much as an AB or an INNING.....if I can do it, everyone else can also...come on its not that hard. RJOH with severe usage problems toward the end of the season didn't over use a single player....neither did tycobb in 2 complete seasons....this isn't rocket science or algebra...its not even really math....if it says 300 AB's...simply do not let him come to the plate more then the 300.....easy...a grade schooler could do it.

4 votes for each year...and I can/will do either season. Since we already did '11 ...if I have to lean one way or the other I guess I would go for '75. Also if we go 11 we lose another player and will then be 5 short of 12.

Nicely said Rob.

I just looked it up (should have done it before), I think we should use the 25/40 option so that minor leaguers are automatically promoted once an injury happens and the roster automatically expands to 40 on Sept 1st.
I wouldn't like overused players to get injured on the day of the game either.

How many HOFers are allowed when we play the '75 season?

Personally, I'd rather just turn injuries off and let the number of Ab's a player has control usage. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to play my starters until they run out of AB's (to avoid a late-season injury that would prevent a star from getting to 100% usage).

Automatic injury substitution doesn't sound that bad, though. (So long as the roster returns to normal after the injury is healed.)

Obivously up to Ace.
