(I'd also be good in this type of league to have everyone play in a single park like Petco '05 or Griffith '41)

A rule to consider:

No pure relief pitchers with an R3, R4, or R5 rating. Starters with high R ratings would be allowed, but this would effectively remove the super reliever while still leaving a solid pool of relievers.

Some additional rules to consider which we will vote on once we have 12 managers:

Unique Stadiums or do we use only 1 Stadium which everyone votes on?

No pure relief pitchers with an R3, R4, or R5 rating. Starters with high R ratings would be allowed, but this would effectively remove the super reliever while still leaving a solid pool of relievers.

Autodraft or DiamondDope draft?

#1) either way is fine with me
#2) I do not like restricting pitchers in a pitching league
#3) Autodraft (because it is faster)

My choices would be:

one stadium for all...no R3 or above... autodraft (for speed)

Same stadium for all

No limits on any relievers - it's a pitching league - tougher to enforce/remember down the line.

AD is fine - though I cannot form a team until late Sunday at the earliest (out all day tomorrow).
