I'm a rookie about to get started in my 2nd season, which is $100M w/DH, so I'm generally interested in this topic.
- I've read to spend roughly 40%+/- on pitching in $80M. Does that ratio still make sense in a $100M league?
- The allocation between starting vs relief is interesting. On the one hand, it seems starters may get yanked early more often with stronger offenses ($100M vs $80M) and the DH. It's tough to have your $9M starter yanked in the 2nd/3rd inning after giving up a big rally - does this have much impact on reduction of innings pitched? On the other hand, the stricter relief rules/increase in relief prices in ATG-9 suggest not to overspend on the bullpen either. Given these offsetting factors, my take is still to allocate roughly 75/25 on starters/relief but that's based on gut and no experience. Interested in what others think?
