will very quickly impact the IBL free agent and trade market.<br>

One huge issue if we use this year's MLB stats for next year's IBL<br>
cards is going to be what to do with players who opt out this year.<br>
<br>
And we should have a Plan B should MLB not make it to the end of the<br>
regular season.<br>

>> I'd vote for a 162 game season also. If MLB plays 60, multiply starts/PA's/BF's 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 MLB when teams in separate conferences didn't play until the World Series.<br>

>> If we're worried about low MLB 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.<br>

>> 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.<br>

>> One other rule, that I've never really bothered to look up - the 26th (going forward 27th) man rule for double-headers. If it's not a rule now, we should vote on this as part of a mid-season ballot.<br>
