Scoring - Maximum Innings Pitched option for Head-to-head leagues
Requests to add maximum innings pitched requirements for H2H leagues. Currently, this feature isn't supported in H2H leagues.

Yes, you need a SP games started limit, otherwise teams will abuse this in daily H2H leagues. Even if you limit the number of transactions, they can still draft all pitching as bench slots and sub pitchers daily. I can't conceive how Yahoo does not already have this.
A max allowable roster position of certain positions would also remedy this situation.

As a member of cmohuskies21's league, I fully support the addition of these stats. They seem to be excellent indicators of a pitcher's overall skill, and also neatly complement stats that are already offered on the hitting side of things. If you have OPS for hitters it makes little sense not to have OPS against for pitchers. If there can only be a limited number of categories it would make sense to do away with one of the less useful or infrequently occurring categories (perfect games?) and replace it with OPS against.

Our league would like to use OPS against as a pitching category in our root league. Michael Salfino writes great articles describing how OPS can be used as a barometer of pitcher performance. Our league is looking to set up a 6x6 roto league using the traditional 5x5 categories and adding OPS for hitters and OPS against for pitchers. We feel like this is a great format and if OPS is a great indicator of hitter performance we feel that OPS against for pitching should be an equally great indicator of pitcher performance.

Problem with max innings pitched and max starts (or other anti-streaming measures) is that they could inadvertently affect teams who just happen to be stacked with 2-start pitchers in a given week.
You're better off just including categories like HR allowed and losses to counteract any wins or K gains, and/or using weekly roster addition limits. No sense in creating collateral damage for non-streamers.

Desperately needed for proper ratio scoring.

Along these same lines, for H2H leagues, weekly start maximum.

giving the option for this is a good idea. although all im hoping for is a split between innings pitched for starters and innings pitched for relievers. happens every year with someone in a points league exploiting the roster settlings by playing a closer that some how has SP eligibility and playing an extra closer. if it was a 162 inning limit, or whatever, for relievers, that wouldnt matter.

Awesome suggestion, no more innings eating competition any more. Although the regulation doesn't seem fair to apply to RP, great idea for SP though.

Agree 100%! Both are better stats than OBP against for modeling real world value.

Would be nice to have either of both of these 2 categories next year for pitchers: Slugging percentage against and OPS percentage against.

I am the commissioner of a league that has the exact same problem and have wanted this solution for years. Each spring I check the rules setup and hope that innings max (or max # of starts) is an available option, but no luck so far. Yahoo - please help!

Couldn't agree more. Even better would be a Starts limit, but an Innings cap would appear to be very simple to implement for the Yahoo programmers.
