Short sprint combined with some rule changes will make this interesting indeed. 3 batter minimum for pitchers (mostly), DH for all teams, runner on second to start each extra inning. I just hope we don't fall out of it early. Expanded playoffs to 16 helps.

Looking for some opinions on divisional rankings. I'm thinking it could be extremely close with the Reds, Brewers, Cubs, and Cardinals

I rank the Reds as a clear 1st with the others being a toss-up

Like I said in another thread, most projection systems have the division being a tossup, with the top four teams being separated by a game or two at most.

Reds a CLEAR first? Nah. They remind me of the Browns when people over react to them adding some parts, I’ll believe it when I see it.

I want to see a lineup! Same as Wednesday?

Big fan of the DH for our particular team. Solves a major problem between Braun, Keston and some of this power depth we have on the roster.

I read something, maybe it was here, on the runners starting on second and all the strategy involved. Seems right up Craig's alley.

Is the min 3 batters or complete an inning? Seems to me completing an inning would allow for a pitcher change BETWEEN innings instead of inside it, which would obviously speed things up.

I also believe this would be the preferable option.
