Do not draw for divisions until after the draft. 11. Stealing of home is limited to attempts by baserunners with a speed grade of 17 or higher. 10. Seed the playoffs based on records. The wild card would no longer get the worst seed, and the #1 seed would "be protected". 9. Assuming we have an 11-man league in 2008, what are the "logistics" for setting up the league? A) 3 divisions, with two 4-team divisions and 1 3-team division, with 1 wild card advancing? B) 16 games played against 8 opponents, with a random draw to determine with 2 opponents you play 17 times? C) FA draft after round robin ends at 50 games, with the same "cannot exceed 25% of MLB usage" to be drop elig, but then limit the FA pickups to 67% of MLB games played, instead of 75% (keeping 100% of other MLB usage)? D) Keep intradivisional series as 5 game series? So division w/ 3 teams ends "free for all" at 152 games, and divisions with 4 teams end FFA at 147 games? 8. If a team is forced to acquire a player due to injuries they will get the third player in total runs created sorted at that position in the free agent pool. 108 games in CF is required to qualify as a CF. Same rules apply to this player. He cannot be used on the hit and run play as a hitter or runner. No steals allowed. 7. One relief pitcher is designated as the "long reliever". This pitcher is eligible to pitch up to 4 innings. Restrictions are that they can only enter a game if: 1. the SP is reduced in grade, ejected or injured or 2. any time after the 9th inning is completed. Pitcher can be used if injury or ejection eliminates all other relievers. Game restrictions and Innings Pitched restrictions are the same as other SL relievers. 4. Give the higher seed team in a playoff series the option of choosing to be home for games 1, 2, 5 and 7, or home for games 3, 4, and 6. 2. Playoff series SBA total cannot exceed MLB SBA total, regardless of Steal Allowance rating.
