Questions for the league:

Who here at BP is going to replace my disgruntled co-worker? "Serious" needs to go.

I'm considering some changes re: team management, moves limits, trade limits...thoughts?

I recall there being some suggestion at the end of last season about a change, but don't recall what it was. Anybody?

trade limits?

Last year was quite the anomaly on the trade front. I doubt we have that many again. If you want to set a trades limit or moves limit, I would suggest doing it per week and not a cap for the season. Maybe something like 8 add/drops and 3 trades per week?

I liked having the expanded rosters, with the ability to have a lot of DL slots and also being able to keep minor leaguers in the NA slots is a plus.

Of course, Brody already quoted my suggestion for moving up the playoffs by a week. That would be a good change imo.

This works for me. I like no limit on trades. I believe there already was a limit on weekly transactions. No?

Thanks for the feed back. (Jeezus, can we turn off the f-e-e-d thing already?)

My thoughts:

Yes, there already is a weekly limit on moves. I was guilted into it one year here when someone referred to "Jake's catch and release program", but I may increase it a little. The roto league I've played for 20 years has no limit and I've won it 9 or 10 times. I'm a streamin' fool. I'm surprised the commish hasn't changed it. :lol:

I will look at NA spots. We're maxed on DL spots already - shouldn't have to cut a guy because he's injured.

I agree with no limit on the number of trades. I may make the trade deadline a little sooner, though.

I also agree on moving up the playoffs. It would affect the balanced schedule but I'll think of something.

All told, I'm not interested in radical changes, just tweaking. This league has been pretty good, all things considered.

Now...who is going to replace Serious?

I have no problem with the no limit on weekly transactions, either. Stream away.

Curious as to what you’re considering with the NA spots? Adding more?

I suppose if I had one question or suggestion, it would be instant additions to the team. Meaning, if I check my lineup and suddenly, somebody isn’t going to play, and I have nobody available for that day, I’d like to cut and add a guy who can play, that day. There’s a million examples I could give from last season but the last one I remember is the last day of the season, I had Gary Sanchez looking not likely to play. Had a claim in on Salvador Perez, got the claim that morning and then he couldn’t play until the next day. I don’t know if there is specific reasoning behind that or if it is even fixable or if people don’t want that changed. I just am so used to football where I can drop a guy, pick another up, and he is on my roster instantly.

I'm on board with a couple NA slots for minor leaguers

That's an available option. I've played leagues that had it. The flip side is if you want to cut a guy who is in your line up that day for someone playing tomorrow, you can't do it. In the case of starting pitchers that could become very frustrating, especially if you're streaming match ups because you're dealing with injuries to your primary SPs.

That’s cool. It can stay as it is. I got used to it (even though it still tricked me on the final day of the season :rofl:)

So, who can we find to replace Serious?

My first guess would be to check the Reds thread. Any Reds fan could use the distraction of fun baseball to replace the distraction of all of the noise the goats are making.
