Well, sure, it's a better game when everyone is playing and competitive..

As far as "inclusive" or "exclusive" goes, I'm not sure how that applies.

But we talked about this once before, I remember:

How the Salary Cap game would be better if it were a "zero sum" game - if the positive or negative totals for pitchers in a particular game equalled those of the hitters.

But that would've meant charging pitchers for total bases, and charging hitters for outs and strikeouts.

And doing that, the pitchers would have wound up scoring, I dunno, maybe 50% or more of the points.

Any game in which a pitcher has a positive total would have meant a negative total for all the hitter in that game.

And even taking off the 5 points for the win (in ESPN) and charging the pitchers for wach TB allowed, I think there would have still been a positive total for all pitchers and a negative one for all hitters.

True, that would've been mitigated somewhat by the fact that we generally use the best hitters, but still....
