You knew how I really felt about the whole dynamics of SP being changed without consent of the league. I didn't say anything until you opened it up for discussion.
Maybe JG knew how you felt, but I obviously didn't.
yeah me neither. if no one said anything I would have thought it was an unanimous decision.

that's exactly how I feel. someday in the future I believe all leagues will be set up somewhat like this. "Wins" really are meaningless.

You guys are great and I love how you're passionate about the league, but sometimes...
and let's remember: if "batter strikeouts" was a stat worth 10 pts wouldn't you draft Mark Reynolds with your 1st pick? once the season begins there's no crying in baseball
