This season is a bit of a gong show no matter what we do.
If we decide to keep to H2H (when should we officially vote?), what do you think we should do if the season starts but gets cut short and we don't get to play our playoffs?

Definite gong show. It doesn't seem like there's much interest in roto so no worries there.
In order to avoid a redraft how about something like this. Based on the players sitting out /not playing we just create a draft order based on where those players were picked and allow teams to fill in their roster in that order.
So if Trout, Freeman and Nola all sit out and they're the 1st 3rd and 10th drafted players to be sitting out.... I would pick 1sr 3rd and 10th in a waiver draft.
It could work if we know how long they're out for. With opt outs before the season begins it's easy but not with positive cases. For all we know Nola won't miss a game, and Freeman misses a week.
Maybe increase IL slots for the inevitable additional positive cases?
Also, just a heads up but whatever we decide we will have to manually change the settings e.g. start date (currently set for the 9th), schedule etc. as Yahoo doesn't adjust custom leagues. Though not sure why Yahoo is still showing week 1 as the 9th? Maybe that will change when it either passes that date or MLB makes the schedule official.
I'm okay with a waiver draft to replace "opted-out" players, but not the "tested-positive" players. I like the idea of adding DL spaces to accommodate the latter.

HR, can you post a message on the league page as well? A few haven't replied on here and we'll need their responses before we decide anything.
Im fine with the waiver draft as well.

Interesting thing I just heard... Yu Darvish throws 10 different pitches:
1. CUT FASTBALL (soft version) (32.8%, 86.3 MPH)
2. CUT FASTBALL (hard version) (3.0%, 91.2 MPH)
3. FOUR-SEAM FASTBALL (27.9%, 94.0 MPH)
4. SLIDER (14.1%, 82.5 MPH)
5. TWO-SEAM FASTBALL (12.4%, 93.5 MPH)
6. CURVEBALL (4.8%, 76.2 MPH)
7. KNUCKLE-CURVE (0.5%, 81.3 MPH)
8. SLOW CURVE (0.1%, 63.7 MPH)
9. SPLIT-FINGER FASTBALL (3.7%, 88.6 MPH)
10. CHANGEUP (0.6%, 84.1 MPH)

I knew Yu threw a lot of pitches, but I thought it was closer to 6-7. But I guess they're counting 2 different cut fastballs, and just a "slow" version of his curve.
Catching him has always been difficult because his english is even suspect still. So apparently practicing with him for catching is a lot more difficult, it's possible because everyone repeats the saying "they all talk baseball", but there apparently is quite the hurdle they have to overcome.
He's actually one of the best pitchers to watch in my opinion.
Here's his Roto page, shows what he's thrown over the years and their percentage usage.
