Cole, Strahm, Elias, Ferguson, Lugo and Woodruff
I emailed strato to see if it was still possible...but what do the people want?
I vote no. Their reliever status should have been a known issue for season 2, unlike season 1.
I vote yes. Those guys all actually started games in 2018, so why shouldn’t they be rated to start? If we’re concerned about distortions we should discuss usage limitations for players who had 150 AB’s in real life and accumulate 600 AB’s in our sim. Just look at the Stat leaders in our league for Season A and compare it to 2018 MLB stats. I am not above it all; I let/induced HAL into putting Lugo out for 274 innings in season A. Ignoring the fact that that is a rediculous amount of work for a pitcher in this day and age, when’s the last time a pitcher had 20 wins and 12 saves in real life?
I kept Lugo expecting to do the same thing again, but I’m good either way. That said, if the group wants to impose usage limits in 2020 I’m all for it.
