You better win that division. Id prefer to get him in the play-in round. The playoffs coincide with his airplane league recruiting.

Does anyone ever do anything involving playoff  rosters, generally? I tend to ditch an extraneous pitcher for a niche position player. Someone who can either pinch hit or pinch run and might somehow provide the difference in a close game.

I tend to drop my worse two pitchers for two guys who can either pinch run, pinch hit or play defense.  Hopefully nailing all three between the two guys.  If I have enough IP in the pitchers and play in the right park, I will go with only 9 pitchers in the playoffs.

But don't you normally have a 13 man pitching staff, or is mostly just your WISBFF?

I think I nailed the defense, speed, and power with poor splits with Onan Chang. I would have placed Young in there ahead of someone else, but I'll survive with what I have.

Reason I ask is I'm considering promoting this guy from AAA just for the ALDS, though he'd probably get more at-bats if I let him keep playing in the AAA WS:

Would you make this move?

If I thought I had a chance to win the WS, yes.

I think you of all people might now say anyone in the playoffs at the end has a shot... And if I could take out BP, I like my chances a lot more. Though I honestly never expected this team to do as well as it has...

I chalk a lot of it up to the deeper bench with more startable players. I guess guys were rested, but I kept the aggressive pinch hitting going most of this season and I think they thrived in those situations. But I might just be talking myself into this team.

Always 12 or 11, mostly depending on staff makeup, league and park.

True...  if nlmiller can win the WS in HR, anything can happen.

Haha.  I'd like to and I should...  but he keeps winning somehow.
