re: FSBDL Slow Draft

Just post a poll and be done with it

I did weigh in. But people started asking me questions that I had already addressed because they were too lazy to go back and read it. My suggestion was to allow DL carry overs only for specific circumstances. For instance, we could only allow players owned or acquired during the regular season (or after a cut off date) to be carried through the offseason. Or it could be based on inury severity.I'm trying to avoid forcing an owner to dump a player because the DL only exists during the season. I can understand not wanting teams to take advantage of the rule in an effort to stash players. That's why I say we should regulate how the DL carry over occurs. We could use the 60-Day DL rule but I need to look at how teams utilize it. I tend to believe that there is no offseason in a dynasty. Therefore, bringing roster designations in and out throughout the year can be troublesome. But I'm fine with clamping down on offseason DL spots by assigning stipulations such as injury severity and date in which the player was owned.

ETA:

TTT brings up another thing that I already mentioned. Expanding rosters in the offseason only.

i dont think we need to be making major moves like adding roster spots for this.

What are we voting on? Ideas are being thrown out like Mardi Gras. We need decide what the possible options are first. And do we want to vote on six different ideas? That seems pretty watered down. I guess we could start with the basic idea of eliminating the DL in the offseason vs. a full/modified/regulated DL and then go from there in a subsequent vote (if needed).

Just expand rosters for the offseason...then shrink a week before the draft and for the season and return to the DL spots.

I can't believe this has become such a complicated issue. And it's not the kind of issue that would affect whether or not you join a league.

What if instead of TJ surgery, your 1B hits a walk off grand slam and breaks his leg jumping on home plate?


What if your pitcher gets cancer?

The only correct answer to these questions is this: Knat will have new team name options.

the 1 DL spot was just a suggestion if we were going to allow anyone DL guy to be kept there the whole offseason. So yea, if you had 2 TJ guys, you'd have to put one your bench.

see this is just weird to me...You can have 3 DL spots all year....then the season ends and two guys that clearly will be on the DL next year need to be removed from your DL?

FTR: When the committee was discussing lineups I suggested to do away with DL spots entirely... but that also included a slightly expanded bench (to 8 players instead of 6) at the same time. If you want to stash someone, it comes at the expense of a bench spot.

That's a moot point now though, I don't think it would be fair to change to that setup after we drafted.

I think the most fair way is to have the off-season carry-over only apply to 60-day DL players.

ETA: Or just leave it how it is, if you have a player end the season on the DL you can leave them there until spring training starts and they lose that designation, or another set point like a week before the draft, or a week before opening day.

well, how do you separate the seriously injured guys from the guys that end on the 15 day DL?


Yea you might have to put 2 seriously injured guys back on your bench. The concession would be you could also have one 15day DL guy on there all offseason and it wouldn't affect the league as much. THere has to be some balance there
