Well frick

That's dumb

Need more roster spots. I feel like some teams are forced to cut quality players or trade at a discounted rate because they have good team and/or farm system.

Isn't that the point? This league rewards the better lineup managers. So I disagree with you. Maybe 5-7 rosters in this 20-team league are deep enough that they have a tough decision of who to drop every time a DL guy gets healthy. And almost all of those teams, if not all, are probably already playoff teams or at least competing for top 8. Shouldnt be adding roster spots after year 3 just to cater to the better/deeper teams in the league by making their roster management decisions easier for them, imo.

Is there some type of league that doesn't reward better lineup managers? This isn't about DL being activated for me nor is this some sort of sudden idea that's being brought up after year 3 to cater to myself or anyone else. It was mentioned last season as well. I was in favor of expanding rosters from the get go. I just think it's silly that eventually I'll have punt a category cutting relievers or trade at a disadvantage in order to accomdate minor league players onto my major league squad. How's that for rewarding?

Gotta love a team not setting lineups while teams are fighting for playoff positioning

and there are multiple teams, not just Barry

I've given up on saying shite at this point

You can't even expect owners to pay attention daily in a daily lineup fantasy baseball league

C'mon. The shallower the league the less in season roster management is needed. Thats just common knowledge. A 20-team dynasty with more advanced scoring categories rewards in season roster management a lot more than standard 10-12 team standard leagues, don't ya think? Often times you can get away with a great draft, a few key moves and staying relatively healthy in those leagues. There is a reason why this league has 40+ offseason trades months before Spring Training starts.

You're in first place. Me saying this league rewards better roster managers should be a compliment to you. Maybe its luck you're ranked up there? I kid, I kid

And it was voted on and shot down by majority of owners. Want us to vote on it every year?

Its a difference of opinion, that's it. Increasing injury slots is needed because that can kill a team - removing a regular starter on your team for weeks at a time isn't up to the owner in that case. But playoff teams complaining because they have a tough decision to make when a milb player hits his limits and needs to be called up? Please. Make the tough decision. If you're right enough times, you'll be rewarded in the standings. If you're wrong, we get the great posts about "I wish so & so was still on my team" which usually starts a couple pages of discussion. But increasing roster spots to help make that decision easier on owners? No thanks. I'm not in favor of training wheels for the few teams (definitely not majority of teams) with enough depth that they have to complain about making room for their prospects being called up.

Profar gonna be a gem imo

Typical TBM move.

If they are doing well.... try to manipulate rules to make it hard for teams in the doldrums to improve

If they are failing.... quit the league and start a new league that drafts three months before the season starts

Naw.... just calling a yat a yat
