why would you want to limit the way teams try to win? It's all strategy. Some have all their bench players as batters, some have none or just one. Some like to add and drop pitchers hoping for wins and k's. Sometimes it costs whip and era because most the available pitchers to claim aren't very good. It's like baseball making the shift illegal. Why? If it helps to win because a player can't hit to the opposite field, why penalize the defense?

Have not read all the comments, but you can limit IP. Seems like a imperfect but not worthless option right there.

Why not just set a Max Acquisitions Per Week and switch Total Ks to K's/9 ? That prevents teams from continuously streaming.

Seems like there are many features for the commissioner that have not been done and this seems like it would be an easy one. It also seems like it is causing lots of people to leave Yahoo and my league is definitely one that is looking into this option.

Unfortunately we will be moving to ESPN due to this not getting resolved. A total joke that this isn't an option.

This is needed so badly! An innings limit would also work. Ideally commissioners would have the option of doing either. I think everyone knows the problem and anyone who has ever played a weekly format knows the problem. Why isn't it fixed!!??

Yes, this is a huge problem in head to head categories as well as points... teams can just load up on starting like 13-15 SP every week and racking up K's, Wins, and staying competitive in ERA and WHIP, while punting saves but this still gives them an advantage in 4 of the 5 pitching categories. There NEEDS to be a setting for "maximum innings pitched" and ALSO a setting for "maximum starts" by Starting Pitchers for each week. This is a huge loophole, please fix this asap YAHOO.

yeah and put a **** transaction limit on your standard leagues. **** turns into a stream fest by end of season. 1st of all its not realistic for a team to be adding 3 guts a week then cuttibg them then in 2wks they add the player again. 2nd it devalues the draft. 3rd its unfair to players who cant be devoting time in middle of night waitibg for players to clear waivers. it really just discredits the game overall I feel.

This suggestion is as simple as choosing Quality over Quantity.

If this doesn't happen, we may leave yahoo after a decade and a half.

Disappointed yahoo doesn't have this option yet again. First thing I looked for today. Already tempted to look at moving to ESPN.
