When was this ever a rule? Im done with this league, replace me.

Ive had 3 or 4 times in the past that Ive had pitchers that were relievers changed to SP just by asking. Actually the last time I had this issue I was told any time a reliever has his status changed to SP just to ask Tim and he'd change it. 5 Starts? What a joke. Im done, I really hate what this league has become, and the rules just seems to change at random. The way pitching in general is handled here is an absolute joke and it puts everyone that doesnt have 10 quality SP at a disadvantage. Its not enjoyable or entertaining so I take my leave. I could be a real ass and just relase my entire roster but Im not like that.

Vine, just so you know this rule isn't random....

On CBS league site under eligibility:

Neither of these has changed in the three seasons this league has been active and is the same for any player at any position. If Tim has made an exception in the past, I am not aware of it or it was before I had commissioner capabilities. I have always followed the above.

Possition players yes going from relief to SP no. Its not the same thing. You shouldnt have to wait a month to use a player simply because they are moving from the bulpen to the starting rotation.

I can think of at least once that I had this situation last year and the possition was changed without problems. Again, Im no longer interested in participating here, this will be my last post in these forums.

Sorry to hear that Vine.

That is a really absurd rule. The guy is a starter, he always has been. He briefly goes to the bullpen and that is enough to negate his starter status according to cbs? That's just plain old dumb with no rhyme or reason.

He went to the bullpen briefly enough to have him listed as a reliever per the league rules as they have been set.

You guys need to speak up and let Tim or I know so that we can go over any issues during the offseason and put it to a league vote. We cannot read your minds. This rule, inparticular, has not changed in 3 seasons.

I also noticed that no one has posted anything in the offseason issue thread which was posted 4/7/08 (except for Hosak) so that tells me no one has any problems with anything. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=47748

We want to have a league were everybody is as happy as possible.
