Old notes:
MISC.

- 2 Position changes per team before game 1.
- If you have someone you want to drop but can't just let me know.
- No spring training, just getting right to the season.
- If you want to undo any contracts I will do that until the end of the year.
- Contracts don't need to be signed now, you have until after the season, before progressions to sign your players.
- A rule that may have been overlooked: RPs must face 3 batters. I don't know if it has to be 3 batters or if it is 3 batters OR finish an inning.
- Rookies, players who come in tagged with a $1/3 contracts, will be able to be resigned after the rookie contract expires.

4/17/2024 Gauging WAR vs. Rnk in the newgbacci
I created the original FIRE formula so I'm glad it had some logic to it, but I think what some people would argue is why does McGwire in this example need the extra boost when his only real advantage over Harrah was homeruns?

In fact I see McGwire sitting on the bench in a lot of 1980s leagues, including teams owned by people on this thread.:)

So in the old formula, if you put McGwire and Harrah in the lead off spot for all 162 games, McGwire would have been On Fire 23 times and Harrah 17 times. In the new formula, it's Harrah 12, and McGwire 10. Just because McGwire was going to be a great player and Harrah was old, doesn't mean Harrah's single season (in this case 1982) doesn't stack up to McGwire's 1987 season. I think despite the new On Fire we'd all draft McGwire first because of the 49 homeruns, so it hasn't really tanked his value.

Again, these are all rhetorical questions as we don't yet know how this is going to play out.
