Hey HCKL gang,
In some other leagues a few of us are in, there has been some discussion around Leashed/Unleashed for this kind of keeper league. I have always been a strong opponent of Unleashed sets especially for a pre-card league, as it removes some of the skill to the game (i.e. rewards the lottery winners too strongly).
That said, I was very PO'd this year at some of the exclusions of players who met previously stated SOM thresholds (30 IP and 5 starts were 2 that Bernie has mentioned specifically in the past) and who were excluded from the basic set this time around.
So here is my proposal for HCKL next year:
1) We create our own set of clearly outlined thresholds for inclusion/exclusion
2) We manually exclude any cards that do not meet our thresholds for inclusion
Here are my initial suggestions for thresholds:
Pitchers:
1) Pure RPs: 30 IP or more gets in, no matter the card value - this is half an RP season.
2) SPs or SP/RPs: Any player with 30 IP and 5 starts gets in. If SOM converts an S/R card to R3 then the above rule would apply.
Hitters:
1) Any player with over 150 PAs (AB + BB) gets in.
2) Any catcher with over 50 PAs and card value of under $7.5M gets in.
3) Any player with 50-149 PAs and card value of less than $5M gets in.
No voting at the moment, just want feedback on the concept & the threshold suggestions.
Thx,
Qk
