Our home town league has been around since the begining and has changed very little. Mostly due to some owners still in the dark ages without computers.... Anyway it is an auction draft, 4X4 except our WHIP is actually (BB+H-K)/IP which greatly increases the value of strikeout pitchers. We draft 9 pitchers, 6 starters and 3 relievers and the usual roto offense. The problem is, we draft a 10 person bench at the end of the draft and we DO NOT ALLOW ANY FREE AGENT PICKUPS during the season. The only time you can put a bench player in is when your starter goes on the DL or is sent to the minors. (or dies which actually happend a few years ago) Anyway, it is my experience that you must have stud pitchers to win the league due to the fact that you cannot pickup the hot pitcher durring the season and you cannot replace a pitcher even if he is killing you during the season.
Just looking for some advice, Does this make hitters and pitchers equal..... thanks in advance
