New24 TKL - Old Thread - Do Not Use

If anyone knows they are not coming back let me know, I will ask for everyone to confirm they are returning in late January. Preliminary drops can begin if you want to start early. Everyone have a nice Thanksgiving, Christmas, yada, yada. The "Holiday" season lasts about 3 months now, 1/4 of the year! Bah, humbug.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, but isn't it strange that I won 199 games over two seasons and both rings and don't pick last in every round? If I were Turtle or Boblues I'd be pissed.

Perhaps a rules change is in order.

I'd propose that the total wins over two seasons be used as the ranking measure, and include playoff wins as well as regular season wins in order to maximize the possibility that the guy(s) who won rings picked very late.

As our rule currently stands, it's entirely conceivable that someone wins a ring in season 1, then totally dumps his team for guys having bounce-back seasons and drafts in the top 5 with a totally stacked team for the upcoming season.

It's too late for the upcoming season since I already did the lottery calculations (was supposed to do them in September) but we can vote on it for future seasons. I think we voted on using cumulative win totals last offseason and it did not pass, will go back and look at it to make sure.

EDIT - Last year we voted on changing the alignment based on cumulative record, 14 voted for it but it needed 16 to pass.

I'm back, and for the first time I'm really excited about this team, for many reasons.

Looking to swap ballparks. Busch Stadium is a nice pitcher-leaning park with a LH power bias. Interested in getting a park with a bigger lefty bias, particularly on the HR side. Chris Davis, Pedro Alvarez, Demonic Brown, Anthony Rizzo, and Shin-Soo Choose thank you in advance.
