Oh, what the hell. I'm biased against H2H leagues, but maybe I haven't given them enough of a chance. Count me in. Shoot me a PM to confirm that I have a spot - thanks Jason!

While we're waiting to fill, can we clarify a couple things? I like H2H leagues, but they often end up being more about "working the system" than assembling a good team. I.e. churning pitchers, punting categories, etc. I think the transaction limit helps with this, but it still seems possible for the playoffs to come down to which team has saved the most transactions. I would like to see a minimum and maximum for weekly innings, really helps both problems. Don't recall what exactly Yahoo! has available...

Yup, thats why I like the max moves. This is also why I required 4SP and 3RP so you can't go all SP or all RP...you need both. I've never had min and max IP's for the week....what are good numbers for that? 15-20 min and 50-60 max? I don't know....?

You need the minimum to be high enough that someone can't just throw all closers and punt W's and K's. But low enough that if someone truly has sucky matchups or has an injury issue they can still meet the minimum. As big as the rosters are I think I would go 25-30 for a minimum. The maximum needs to keep someone from burning through a bunch of saved up transactions and churning pitchers to win W's and K's. I think 60-70 should do the trick.
Looks difficult.. I'm in! I appreciate the invite, and very much look forward to this.
