We have a couple of items to vote on. Majority rules so please vote. I will exclude any votes that say they basically don't care and only tally those that do provide a vote. Feel free to change your vote if you feel differently now. I believe Autodraft would be best. The other rules to vote on are:

1 - Do we use unique stadiums or does everyone use the same stadium?
2 - Only use pure relief pitchers with a R1 or R2 rating?

1. joekendall - Unique Stadiums, No
2. hackra - either way, No
3. bontomn -
4. herpad1959 - Same Stadium, Yes
5. mrharryc - Same Stadium, Yes
6. gfdwarf07 - Same Stadium, No
7. bmilner - Same Stadium, No
8. JMP1 -
9. misterg -
10.Terry101 - ?, Yes
11. carr20 - either way, either way
12. death_from_above -

If we use the same stadium, then we will need to vote on which one that wasn't excluded from the list on page one. I also need misterg to decide which two he wants excluded.

1. joekendall - Unique Stadiums, No
2. hackra - either way, No
3. bontomn -
4. herpad1959 - Same Stadium, Yes
5. mrharryc - Same Stadium, Yes
6. gfdwarf07 - Same Stadium, No
7. bmilner - Same Stadium, No
8. JMP1 -
9. misterg -
10.Terry101 - ?, Yes
11. carr20 - either way, either way
12. death_from_above - unique, yes

Not sure if anyone has started to put a roster together yet, but it is a bit tougher than I thought. I don't have a problem if the vote goes with no R# or higher, but it will take a lot of pitchers (R3 or higher) with higher salaries out of the player pool. Depending on how the autodraft goes, someone may have a problem getting to 60mil salary for pitching. Just something to consider. May be too late, but would a $55P - 45B salary structure work better? With the stadium(s) we will use I don't think it will hurt the integrity of the pitching friendly league.

In "roughing" out a team, I came to the same conclusion...going to be tough to be spend 60m on pitching; think that 55-45 would work better...but what commish decides, ok by me

In the past, with pitching type theme leagues a 50/50 balance was enough to ensure a strong pitching league. Based on what some managers are saying, maybe a 55/45 or 50/50 split would work as well. It probably will be very difficult to spend 60 mil on pitching and it might be better to go 50/50 or 55-45 rather than use super relievers.

Just now realizing the same thing. If we keep it at 60-40, I'd like to reverse my vote so that the higher-priced RP-onlys can be used.
