Personally, I think strike fears are waaay too premature. If I had to bet right now, I'd say there will be no strike or lockout.

Having said that, it might be fun to speculate how to run PB in the event of a work stoppage.

I wasn't around in '94; maybe PB has a plan in place. I think it boils down to two philosphies:

1) This is a sim league, so we should simulate MLB, and shorten our season.

2) We could prorate the stats.

Both have plusses and minuses.

Speaking from a Real-Time perspective, I don't think an early end this year would be as difficult to handle as a late start next year. Early season numbers can have a wacky effect on RT leagues, and a spring without MLB would exagerrate this "problem".

I dunno. Mike & The Boys probably have a plan (or at least a philosophy) in place. And I really don't think recent news increases any strike possibilities anyway. I'm just bored and waiting for the FA draft to start!

Cheers.
