28 Man Rposter - Why????
by djskcsams » Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:06 pm
Why does Strat offer 28 man rosters instead of 25? By reducing the extra three players, it would force more balnced teams. Also, 25 is the limit in MLB. So what gives?

Options in the no-cap live draft leagues.
$200M leagues, tho I don't play them. You can't spend $200M on 28, or 38 players, so why stop at 25? MLB goes to 40 players in September, that would be cool at game 142.

If you are going to eliminate 28 man rosters based on 25 man real life rosters have to disallow 24 man rosters.
You think trading is difficult now wait until you not only have to balance cash but have to always exchange the same exact number of players.
Another reason for allowing 28 man rosters is we have no minor league system to call players up from for injuries. A player goes down you rely on your bench. No disabled list that allows you to set that player aside and add another one. So 28 man rosters really come in handy, especially at higher cap levels where you can afford it. At lower cap levels best strategy is to carry 24 players and spend as much as possible on starting lineup. Cap prevents stockpiling of players.

I'm not sure where you're getting 38 players from. Limit is 28. I agree limiting the roster to 25, would also prevent hoarding at 200m and the Live Draft.
With all the new players released, you can easily spend $200m on 28 players these days.
A lot of guys like to platoon, so I don't think going to a 25 man roster would be popular.

I was making up numbers :oops:
My point was that the $200M rosters I've seen have a ton of salary left over. If the new cards are changing that, I don't pay close enough attention to other teams to keep up.

I could not disagree more with the premise of this post. Real MLB teams never EVER make it through a complete 162 game season using only 25 man rosters, if anything the rosters should be BIGGER, not smaller. We should have a taxi squad for injuries or late season call ups, or we should be forced to use all 28 spots instead of only 24.

Much ado about nothing imo. Almost every team in lower caps use 24-25 man rosters anyway....its nice to have the choice to use up to 28 though few do.

Somehow these two statements seem contradicting to me. :?
