I was thinking I'd like to do a 16-team league with 25-man active rosters composed of 9 standard starting position spots, three bench spots whose stats count for half, 5 SP slots, 7 RP slots and one flex spot that can be either RP or positional bench.

The idea is to do a mockup of what MLB would look like today if the league had stuck with the original sixteen teams.

Any way to reasonably do this? Would it have to be a points league?

Some problems/questions...

Rostering 7 RP for 16 teams is a **** load of RP, so you'll either roster bad RP's, or teams will just not roster as many RP's and have a bigger bench.

SP's that are "RP eligible" will be much higher priced due to having to roster so many RP's.

Does "9 Starting positions" = C/1B/2B/3B/SS/LF/CF/RF/Util, or just 3 of any OF/Util, or is Util going to be a DH slot?

If it's just points, how are you giving points? Will defense stats count since you want it to be like a regular "25 man roster"?

Unlimited DL spots?

Minor League roster?

I think I'd make the roster spots obligatory. The 7 RPs is intended to mirror present day MLB roster building.

Think I'd insist on CF for CF, any OF for RF/LF and Util would be any position player. Would also stipulate that only active MLBers are rosterable to protect from loading rosters with non-actives.

I'd prefer roto, but I haven't thought that far ahead. Not sure how you could score defense to actually reflect strong defense.

Is there a site that will allow you to incorporate 1/2 pt scoring from the bench?

Also, in terms of defense, could use Put-Outs, Errors, or Fielding Percentage?

Also, Im assuming Holds would be a category?

Re: 1/2 points, not that I know of.

re: defense, i think I prefer advanced metrics.

Re: holds, yep.
