Columns: an id column + a projection column. Matched by player ID.

2 · Trim the pool

Toggle off injured or players you don't want. A shorter list makes cleaner lineups and solves much faster. Players marked OUT are off by default.

Lock (right column) forces a player into every lineup. A locked player is in 100% of lineups, so a lock overrides any exposure cap you set for him — the lock wins. Lock sparingly; each one cuts diversity.

3 · Rules

Tier 1 · Site rules

# of lineups (max 25) Min salary used (0 = off)

Tier 2 · Within lineup

Force a team stack

Primary stack (hitters from one team) Secondary stack (0 = off)

No hitters vs my pitcher

Tier 3 · Across lineups

Max player exposure %

Cap on how many of your lineups any one player can be in. Locked players ignore this — always 100%.

Player cooldown (last K)

A player used in the last K lineups sits out the next one — forces turnover across all spots, pitchers included. 0 = off.

Max stack-team exposure %

Same cap, for the team your stack is built around.

Stack-team cooldown (last K)

A team that anchored the stack in the last K lineups can't anchor again yet.

Rotate pitchers

At least one pitcher must change vs. the previous lineup (not all). For a tighter pitcher spread, use exposure % or the cooldown above.
