Yes in a sense... I find it to be similar. Not that I have a problem with either. I wouldn't hesitate to do either if it benefits me. That doesn't change my opinion on the matter however.

For a person who likes to question people's integrity when they stream against you... I'm surprised you don't see the angle I presented as well.

I would have thought a drop to 100 would satisfy both parties. Owners who wanted to continue to manipulate their minor league spots to do so. Owners who wanted a tighter restriction on MiLB spots to have that too. What Barry proposed was a bit extreme for me... and self policing doesn't work too well. Cap it down in the middle and that will take it out of the equation and satisfy everyone.

I'm going to use Carter Capps as an example. I know he's been injured a lot, but he'll be entering this 6th MLB season next year and may still have minor league eligibility. Come on... really?

I understand the angle you presented. Like I said, Ive been using the RP thing on my team and ive experienced it. You example sounds good in a vacuum but it doesnt really work like that for a few different reasons

You mentioned Carter Capps - he was pitching in the minors in 2015 and he rehabbed there this year. So the guy is being shuffled up and down IRL pretty recent. Another guy I own, Blake Parker, he's 32, made his debut in 2012, but has seen MiLB action as recent as 2016. Another guy i have, Vizacnio, just hit his threshold. But has seen the minors for one reason or another the past 3 seasons

So i guess my rebuttal to you would be - a really good, young RP can burn up his 150 IP in two seasons, basically. Then you have a journeyman guy like Parker, in the league since 2012, 32 y/o, BUT he's still seeing MiLB action. So he has 5 or 6 years in the league and hasnt hit 150 IP - but still going up and down IRL - I can't stash him in MiLB going by your ROOGY/LOOGY scenario.

Ive contended since the beginning no one is breaking rules by streaming, thus i would never question one's integrity. I will question their polish as a manager for having to resort to streaming. In the end, it's not really the person's fault, rather the system in place

i would agree with you that your 100 IP thing would be better than barry's proposal
