<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I'd vote for a 162 game season also. If <span class="" id=":u9.1" tabindex="-1" style="">MLB</span> plays 60, multiply starts/<span class="" id=":u9.2" tabindex="-1" style="">PA's</span>/<span class="" id=":u9.3" tabindex="-1" style="">BF's</span> by 2.7 (162/60) for the baseline numbers then figure the 75%/133%/150% from there. Alternately, 150 games with none against the opposing conference and multiply by 2.5 to get the baseline numbers - hearken back to the good old days of <span class="" id=":u9.5" tabindex="-1" style="">MLB</span> when teams in separate conferences didn't play until the World Series.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">If we're worried about low <span class="" id=":u9.6" tabindex="-1" style="">MLB</span> usage players, then lower the PA/BF thresholds a bit. If MLB is playing with larger rosters though, I don't think free agent availability is going to be as much of an issue - more players are likely to reach our thresholds. Maybe lower them to 15 IP / 20 BF it that's the worry - but it's already pretty low.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Our rules will also change for next season with the permanent MLB changes, right? Meaning 3 batter minimum or to end of inning and 26 man rosters. I haven't heard if position players pitching is a permanent rule change, but I think it is - position players can only pitch if a game is in extra innings, or winning/losing by more than 6 runs.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">One other rule, that I've never really bothered to look up - the 26th (going forward 27th) man rule for double-headers.
