What do you have against guinea pigs? They're not only valuable contributors to scientific learning, they are also tasty when skinned and fried (if the Travel Channel show depicting the eating habits of Brazillians is to be believed at least.) I don't have a good alternative league name suggestion at this time, just wanted to provide that "helpful" commentary.
If we change the league name then everything- EVERYTHING- falls apart.
If people don't care about Baseball Prospectus then why do they play fantasy baseball?
And while I see how one might prefer the more PC "Italian-American Pigs", I find it hard to think of guinea pigs as being offensive.
Anyway, I don't have any ideas either, but if we change the league name people are going to have a precedent for changing their team names, which flied in the face of the whole "keeper" thing.
flies, not flied.
"Retaining Fodder" is my proposal. At least for my team, I know I'm going to be keeping the players whose crappy play last season is only going to taunting this year.
We could go with "Three True Outcomes." For those who don't know, the Three True Outcomes in baseball are Walks, Strikeouts and Home Runs because they only involve the interaction of pitcher and hitter, with no need for the corruption that a ball put into play involves. Given that we changed the rules this year to focus more on those three true outcomes, it would be appropriate.
