The Edict:  To be a part of this league a GM must now do this:

1.  As always, always be on time with requests I make, especially the Spring Draft.  If you’re late with a pick then the next highest ranked player is put into your roster regardless of positional needs.  We will work with TSN’s, or someone else’s list.  If you miss two picks in a row you’re turfed.  Send in a long list if you know you will be away for some time.

2. Return all calls.  When another GM offers you a trade, reply.  If you have ever had someone ignore you, remember how it feels.  No matter how stupid the offer is, just reply.  You can reply with any of the following catch phrases ranging from”  “No thanks, the deal seems a bit lopsided in your favor, please don’t come knocking again unless you have something to put on the table,” to “Are you insane?  How dare you insult my intelligence, waste my time, and tick me off with this.  Or, “Are you really a moron thinking this is a good offer.”  Just reply, but don’t air your dirty laundry to the rest of the league at how upset you are.

 

3. Starting in 2011 season there will be a post-season point adjustment for all teams.  This adjustment will add 3 points for each gp+ip less than 2908-(9x3)=2881.  Teams will be re-sorted for the Winter Draft.

PLAYOFFS

 

Spring exhibitions can be viewed at http://www.bb3000.com/bb3000games.pdf and if you would like to see your team play then just email me a lineup.

 

With 4 divisions we now can run true playoffs, but always remember the true champion, the only team worthy of the Elvis Cup, is the regular season top team.  To spice up the playoffs I offered a $100 prize to the playoff champion.  Some teams balked at the idea, so here’s the latest idea.  If you don’t want to play for the money then you don’t have to.  If you want to play for the money then consider forwarding $5 to me, although it’s not mandatory that you pay.  If you don’t pay and then win the playoffs, well, you still get the $100 unless you indicated you don’t want to play for cash prizes.  You can PayPal me at gsovan@yahoo.ca or just give me cash next time you see me if you’re in town.

 

Only the division winners make the playoffs.  There is no wild card.  The AL plays the NL in the BB3000CS, a best of 9 following the best of 9 LCS’s.

 

Last year I introduced a simple spreadsheet baseball game that I would like to take to the next level, which will actually play a 9-inning game.  The random numbers will be published ahead of time and then the starting random number in the list will be determined by the Saturday, October, Lotto 649 lottery in Canada using the first 4 digits of the Ontario Encore.  Later on that.

 

The game itself will require you to establish a batting order with DH and 8 fielders, one for each defensive position.  Whether the batter can play will be determined by a random number before the game starts.  For example, if a player played in 81 games during the year then he has a 50% chance of playing.

 

 

 

Incomplete Musings

 

Request sent to Fantrax

 

I have asked you this before and you said it is under consideration.  I again implore you to look into the following setup.  You currently have Max GP for each position which allows the league to have more than one slot for a position, but once the Max is reached, let's say 162, the players at that position will no longer accumulate stats?  I assume I am correct on this assumption.

 

What about one more column that will allow the league to restrict players to Max PA (plate appearances).  This way you can have situations like last year's Cubs 2nd basae tandem of Theriot and Dewitt in the lineup at the same time without eating up games as both of them often played in the same game but only went to the plate a combined 3 or 4 times.  PA's should be set up as AB + W + HBP + SF and maybe exclude SH.

 

This would also allow a true platoon situation for 2 players from different teams, a Lefty and Righty hitter who may combine for 200 games but only 600 pa's.

 

This would allow you start that great pinch hitter who only eats up one pa instead of one full game with their at bat.

 

This would allow gamers like me from having to stop guessing or checking an hour before game time whether the MLB manager is starting slick fielding SS, or will he again be coming in late in the game as a defensive sub.

 

Just like your Max GP, the Max PA should be left to the discretion of the league commish to set.  I would set my league's to 700 for each position.

 

While on the soapbox here, there should be one more offensive team max set up, that being outs.  If team outs are set to whatever value the Commish wants, then poor hitting teams will stop collecting points after their season outs have been reached.  An out would be computed as follows:  AB - H + GDP + CS. I would set the league's outs to about 4162 (162 x 26).  Unfortunately Fantrax computes the stats as either AB – H or AB – H + SF + SH.

 

Later that day … Upon further review is we set outs to 27 a game x 162 games that’s 4374 outs for the season.  If we set PA’s at 737 per position with an OBA of .340 (2010 BB3000 league average) that’s 4378 outs.  Teams around the average would accumulate stats up to the day of the season.  Our worst hitting team with a .325 OBA would have run out of outs with about 5 days left in the season.  Our best hitting team at .356 OBA would have 4271 outs, about 100 short.

 

You want every team to get their full season’s complement of outs.  Rickie Weeks led the league with 754 pa’s last year.    You also want every player to get their full complement too, and at the position they played.  Weeks would have to be moved to DH to get his last 17 PA’s, which could actually hurt the team.  What if we bumped each position to 754 pa’s max?  The best hitting teams last year would have accumulated 4370 outs for the season, which are only 4 short.  I think we’re on to something.  However, I don’t they could have found the same quality bats for the extra PA’s needed to get to 754 for each position.  So, if the team’s OBA slipped to .350 then they would accumulate 4411 outs, meaning they would be 33 outs over.  They would not be accumulating offensive stats on the last day of the season, which could be a real downer in a tight pennant race.

 

We have to try to have all teams accumulating stats right up to the last day, so we have to create either a PA max small enough, or an OUTS cap big enough to accommodate this.  In the above scenario the .350 OBA team ran out of outs on the 2nd last day of the season.  The .320 OBA team would accumulate 4614 outs, 240 over the max, about 9 days before the end of the season.  If this .320 OBA had a great pitching staff, they would have to sit and watch over the last 8 days …  to be continued ….

 

 

Other Stuff to Ponder Over

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A more advance chart could be utilized, but maybe we can keep it simple as above.

 

On outs, if the 2nd digit is:

1 is a groundout to pitcher.

2 is a pop out to 3rd digit position number (the pitcher’s popout is a very soft lineout).

3 is a groundout to first base. 

4 is a groundout to second base.

5 is a groundout to third base.

6 is a groundout to shortstop, runner forced at 2nd, all others advance.

7 is a flyout to LF.

8 is a flyout to CF.

9 is a flyout to RF.

0 is possible error.

 

On groundouts to the pitcher, if the 3rd digit is:

1-3 – all runners advance

4-6 – all runners hold, lead runner out if fielder’s choice

7-8 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance (if bases full, choice at plate)

9-0 – ground double play, lead base where choice exists, to first.

 

On groundouts to the first baseman, if the 3rd digit is:

1-4 – all runners advance

5-7 – all runners advance except fielder’s choice at 2nd

--8 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance (if bases full, choice at plate)

9-0 – ground double play, lead base where choice exists, to first.

 

On groundouts to the second baseman, if the 3rd digit is:

1-2 – all runners advance

3-6 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance

7-0 – ground double play, 2nd to 1st.

 

On groundouts to the third baseman, if the 3rd digit is:

1-3 – all runners advance

4-6 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance (if just runner on 2nd, he holds)

--7 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance (if bases full, choice at plate)

8-0 – ground double play, 2nd to 1st.

 

On groundouts to the shortstop, if the 3rd digit is:

1-2 – all runners advance

3-5 – fielder’s choice at 2nd, all other runners advance (if just runner on 2nd, he holds)

6-0 – ground double play, 2nd to 1st.

 

On possible errors, if the 3rd digit is:

1 – it’s a one base error, batter safe at first, runners advance 1 base

2 – it’s a two base error, batter safe at first, runners advance 2 bases

3- batter safe at 2nd, runners advance 2 bases (with two outs all runners score, batter stays at 2nd)

 

Defence

 

Downside

 

Pennington got 100 more balls in zone (BIZ) in same innings as Jeter.  If both RZR’s are .800 then Pennington gets to 80 more balls, and at 2 points per ball that’s 160 points.  Actually Pennington’s RZR .817 to Jeter’s .778 which gives him 93 more plays, or 186 points.

 

Voting Issues

 

You must keep produce at least 4 games a week in all 8 fielding positions and your DH slot.  The week runs Thursday to Wednesday this year.  The only week that you do not have to fill this requirement is the week of the All-Star game.

 

The intent of the league is to maintain a playing roster for the whole season, just like a major league team has to.  While this one is tough to police by others, it is up to you to police yourself and keep with the spirit of baseball.  Don’t be like last year’s Colts and cheat the system.  The Colts played the last month of the year without anyone in the CF slot.

 

Now, this can still be policed and if you are caught not filling this requirement twice during the season you are ineligible for any post-season awards.

 

To remain a member in good standing you must vote by next Saturday 4pm EDT with one of the following options.

 

1. I like it, and 4 games a week is good.

2. I like it but prefer a different number than 4.

3. I don't like it.
