Tout NL owner, ESPN’s Tristan Cockcroft, takes a look at the fantasy implications of the Houston Astros’ move to the AL in 2013.
He suggests fantasy players adopt 13 team formats in both the NL and AL only leagues, though a case can be made for going to 12 teams in both only leagues, which will increase the player pools in relation to the number of teams.
Either way, things are going to be changing in Tout Wars.
UPDATE: Tout Wars NL will drop one player in 2013, and play with 12 teams.
We haven’t made any decisions yet in my home league, but given how difficult it is to dig up hitters and pitchers in a 13-team N.L.-only, I’m thinking about leaving our A.L. at 12 teams. Thirteen Rotisserie teams versus 15 Major League teams might make things too thin even for an A.L.-only.
