No, it's innings pitched.

You're allowed a max of 1550 innings pitched. You've thrown 1011 and have 538 remaining, so you're projected to hit the max pretty early.

Ok, I thought that might be the case. I started to cut back recently with an approach that exposes more dominant relievers.

You must mean Luke Weaver?

1.3 WAR in the Yankee’s bullpen by mid-July is pretty dominant

Ya… he’s having a nice season for them. Never thought I’d see the word “dominant” associated with Luke Weaver, but I suppose he could pass for it on paper. He doesn’t have much value in this league though, unless he starts vulturung Ws… hard to do w/ the Yankees recent suck fest.

Looking for an Ace-type and I’ve got a lot of options to deal w/guys coming off the IL

Ace can be a subjective term.

Open to dealing a Starter or 2. Make me an offer.

Will take a look at your team to see if a fit.

I have aces and you have Bryce Harper. Let me know what that deal looks like.

Posted: **26 Jul 2024 09:49 am**

Since the big Albies trade with Quincy, I've dropped from 8th to 15th.

Makes me nervous to deal anyone but I'll respond to the offers I received later today.

Tyler Fitzgerald 10-21 with 5 HR since I picked him up on 7/21.

Albies is out for the season with a wrist fracture. Your ROS projections are much better than they would have been without that trade

This, after Miranda. Lean into your fortune… if ballplayers were equities, you’d be turning 40%

What would you be interested in obtaining? A position, a stat?

I’ve not had much luck. Good scenarios have come and gone that I hadn’t thought to part with nor pursue.

I’m giving thought to a potential roster expansion, possibly in mid-August. We would be adding two additional bench spots + maybe an NA spot, which could be used to stash potential September call ups. The NA spot is also useable for suspended players, or those on emergency leave.

Pros -
- more space to roster a backup catcher
- opportunity to add additional SP, for those who have fallen behind the IP pace
- reduced need for daily roster fidgeting
- more cowbell

Cons -
- not sure

AOF does not like this idea, because something. Curious what the rest of you think…

I would vote against. Managers should have been managing their rosters all season with an eye toward maximizing their use of position player starts (162) and innings pitched (1550). If they have not, why should they be rewarded now by an opportunity to play catch up with an expanded roster?

If you make that change, 2/3 of the teams won't be paying immediate attention anyway, so the top 1/3 of the teams in the league will likely snap up the top 15-20 available players and just get marginally stronger.
