My SLT2023/SLT1955 Thoughts:
Overview:
1955 disk.
48 game season
4-man rotations
4-game series
No free agent draft
20 GS rotation eligibility
25 round draft since no 5th and 6th starters
Same 7-team tournament as last season
Rule change for this year only: Relievers can go 3 IP (instead of normal 2
IP), but no extra inning bonus
General Player Usage:
Suggested percentages for 48 games out of 154: 32% and 48%
(last year ptgs for 48 games out of 162: 30% and 45%)
The old 100% rule changes to 32% rule:
48g / 154 = .311688
so we can be generous and round that up to 32%
example: player who played 140 1955 MLB games can play 44.8 or 45 SLT games.
The old 150% rule (SBA, IP, GS) changes to 48% rule:
(48g*1.5) / 154 = .4675
so we can be generous and round that up to 48%
example: player with 68 1955 MLB SBA gets 32.64 or 33 SLT SBA.
