Since this thread drift is pretty strong ...
Thanks to a little help from my friend (Taro), I managed to squeak out a slim victory in week one, where I went to bed with Ogando losing, CC winning, and figuring even a save by Rivera wouldn't be enough to bail me.  The NDs for both SPs was huuuuuge.
But, my real comment is -- I REALLY don't like the Yahoo interface.  Ogando started the year as an RP - so I had to make a choice a week ago whether to plug him into one of my RP slots.  I gambled on that and won.  (fair enough).
But, in reading the rules for how pitchers get classified as SPs ... I found somewhere in the help file that a 3rd start gives a player the SP "tag".  The Sunday start was the 3rd for Ogando.  I was hoping to move him into my rotation and start using my 3rd closer.  But, as of Monday morning, he's still only shown as an RP.
I also messed up, thinking I could set my lineup Monday morning for this week, only to find out that I've got to set it Sunday night, (before the games are complete, I guess).
At this point, I'm wondering if Ogando is EVER going to get the SP tag.  (grrr)
In any case, I didn't come into the league with any expectation of being very competitive, (not NEARLY enough research time to come up to speed to swim with these sharks).  But, it's irksome anyway when the game system gets in the way of being even nominally competent.
(You must understand - I played at Sandbox back at the turn of the century - and back THEN, I was used to DAILY lineup changes that were allowable up to 10 minutes before the first game was played).
