wonder if Strat has considered offering leagues with 8 or 10 team leagues? 6 team leagues seem limited. 8 or 10 maybe better.

I Have never played a six team league, but I have never seen one for 2014, I wouldn't mind six, but I think the no post-season is why it's a bit unpopular--10 teams works great schedule wise.
I have posted before, but I would like a 12 teams league with just two divisions, and the 90 - 72 balanced schedule like is was in when division play started--one credit for the division winners and one for the champ--or could go with two wildcards---I don't like the unbalanced way it works not--seems I always get the three sets with the two worst teams.

I'm in a six team league that I joined recently & currently playing my first season in. NOT well thought out by me because not only is there no postseason but the teams are 'STACKED' which to me makes it no fun at all. Furthermore everyone LUVs their stacked rosters which makes trading an exercise in futility. So if you like building your roster & actually playing for something then don't go this route. I'm giving this a one year trial run but IDK after that.

I would think the whole purpose of doing a 6 team league would be so you could stack rosters, especially at higher caps.
At lower caps I would expect so many leftovers on FA list would make trading nonexistent. Why negotiate trying to get a .320 hitting OFer when I can just go to FA list and get a .319 hitter?
Curious though.... If my assumption is correct there should be a lot more horse trading talk going on in 24 team leagues.
For those who have played those is that true?

One of the owners in a 24 team keeper league tracked the trades in each season so far:
#1: 32
#2: 34
#3: 26
#4: 20
#5: 19
#6: 7
#7: 16
#8: 10
Not as many in recent seasons, but still a lot more than any 12 team league I've been in. I have zero interest in 6 team leagues, but wouldn't expect any trading in them.....
