I'd also add that if we do this we could adjust the sim schedule to add two sims down the stretch. The problem with 15 day sims is one injury to an ace or a key hitter 2 days in ends up screwing your team for 13 games. In a tight race (like the one we have now) a few games can make all the difference. If we switched to 10 day sims down the stretch we could do this instead with the set schedule:
Sim 1: Friday
Sim 2: Sunday
Sim 3: Tuesday
Sim 4: Friday
Draft: Sunday
Sim 5: Tuesday
Sim 6: Friday
Sim 7: Sunday
Sim 8: Tuesday (to deadline)
Sim 9: Friday (10 days)
Sim 10: Sunday (10 days)
Sim 11: Tuesday (10 days)
Sim 12: Friday (10 days)
Sim 13: Sunday (10 days)
Sim 14: Tuesday (10 days) - with the possibility of a live sim if the races are really close like this year
Playoffs - just like our current model, flexible based on simmer availability.
Same offseason plan - this allows us to really appreciate a season like this. No reason to rush through all the drama and fun of something like this because of a few loud malcontents. We're here to control and manage our teams, lets take a little more control when it counts most down the stretch.
