[IBL] Hello and Thoughts on Ballot Voting

[Larry Selleck]

Hello all,

I’m voting No on getting to choose when to serve TEST / SUSP because (a) it
shouldn’t be a choice and (b) in the MLB, when a player is suspended for
testing positive, even if their suspension ends, they are still not allowed
to play in the playoffs.  As a side note, because the roll is quite rare, i
suspect most players with test / susp don’t end up getting hit with it.

In regards to any rule to limit injuries to substantially no more than a
player actually had, I’m against as well.  We already get enough benefits
by being able to exceed player usage by 33% (or more) than what hey had and
we have no requirement to rest our players ... yes, our stud catchers (and
any position player) can play 36 games in a row without rest and both ends
of a double header.

As a side note, I did play in a league once where injury days were equated
to days they were actually injured in MLB (I.e. if a player missed first 3
weeks of the season in MLB, they missed equivalent of first 3 weeks of the
sim season).  It made planning easier, but roster construction a bit more
of a challenge and end of season a real challenge.

Just my 2 pence,
Larry
