Since their schedules do not coincide and since automating the draft and playoffs is a difficult and mine-infested project, $5 a team would not even begin to justify the time and energy required to put them on.

Increasing them to 80 games would be fine but the biggest problem with LL is that they often discourage new managers more than encourage them to join.

Two reasons: The experienced PB managers beat the tar out of them with platoon players and other strategical ploys (all legal) and because statistical anolamities are compounded with the short schedule and often biased one given the small sample and the small amount of opponents.

When we have talked about LL we have thought about first segregating experienced and new managers and secondly to price them at about $15. Even at that level some automation would have to be done to justify the cost in human resources to put them on.
