So ... (Bringing This Up Again)

[ballmark]

Can we talk about this C Endurance SP stuff again? I've got another one and a darn good C+ Endurance RP that I've been starting out of the 5-hole the last 2 years but had to bump to the pen due to the current ruleset.

The pertinent threads can be found here.

The current league rules can be found here.

I'm fine with a change to allow a rp with at least a c endurance to be in a rotation.

[BabyDoc]

I’m fine with it too.

[jzirker]

Same here

Off the top of my head without going through the past threads I thought we'd decided that if a C was labeled as "Starting Pitcher" it was cool, otherwise we'd need a unanimous or at least majority vote to overturn.

Jason put a poll together and 10 out of 16 voted in favor though some said the language needed to "be tweaked" but because we never reached a unanimous vote on it the rules were never officially changed.

The bureaucracy.

I can see needing a unanimous vote for all C's qualifying but those fairly rare cases where pitcher is listed as "starting pitcher" seems an easy/obvious yes. Only sticking point would be ease of checking compliance, not sure that is checked here very often anyway. I'd ram it through without a vote but that's why I'm not commissioner.

It's actually fairly easy to check:

GM Menu/League Lineups/Pitching Tab ... then hover over any SP w/C Endurance and check what ABE has the player registered as.

Right now there are only 3 teams with a C Endurance SP and all of them are pitching from the #5 hole, per the rules. One is coded a SP (mine) and the other two are coded RP.

If the rules change for next season, for example - I'd move my C Endurance SP to a different slot and bring up my C Endurance RP to the #5 slot after my 36-year old SP retires, the guy I've been grooming for the rotation these past 2-3 seasons.

So just to confirm, is this the following rule change being proposed?

Players with B- (or B when blind / blue letter) endurance can start anywhere in the lineup 1-5, but an RP with a C endurance can start as 5. However if a player with C / green letter / C when hidden / C+++++ endurance listed as an SP play anywhere in the lineup as a result.

Yeah?

Let me know.

If so thats fine I don't care one way or another. Vote in majority approval.
