Moving League Championship a Week Earlier Jan 3, 2023 15:15:27 GMT -5

Hey everyone,

What if we moved the championship to a week earlier in the season? The reason I propose this is because of all the roster situations that occur the last week of the MLB regular season. For example, often times players sit out due to their team being eliminated from playoff contention. Or, for the teams that are in the playoffs, managers choose to rest pitchers to set-up their playoff rotations. Given that our regular season is so long, it seems like a mistake to have our championship decided by this situations that can disproportionately affect our fantasy teams.

I propose that we remove one week from the regular season and have the championship a week earlier.

Thoughts?

How many football leagues do you guys play in that go all the way until the last week? I think the same principles apply here.

The championship should be decided with your best players available. That trumps one extra week in the regular season, in my opinion. We'd still have 21 weeks.

OriolesGM (Tyler): We will actually be discussing that as a league soon. Right now we still have a few teams that need to get caught up on getting their rosters updated to comply with the roster rules. J2 auctions for 2019 class will still be starting July 2nd as usual.

DodgersGM (Stephen): Given this is a contract league- are we better served proceeding with a FYPD draft, a J2 draft, and just icing the season. This is a detailed league, and it’s pretty clear for the 2020 season- MLB is putting everything out the window. Jun 28, 2020 10:58:40 GMT -5

DodgersGM (Stephen): if a fantasy team loses a starter or two corona virus, then what? Force promotion of woefully unprepared prospects to meet an innings cap. Just something to consider as this train wreck baseball season proceeds. What if a pro decides not to play? Jun 28, 2020 10:55:38 GMT -5
