Deja Vu League -- Season 28

b. For the upcoming free agent draft, let's allow each team to drop players to the standard max 30/min 25 roster limits and to then protect 20 of the remaining players. The new manager may then select up to one player from the unprotected players on each active roster (or from a team's drop list, if desired).

I would like to see this number raised from 20 to 25. Otherwise I'm okay with this package.

I would agree with this, protecting only 20 instead of 25, I strongly oppose this, otherwise I am fine with the proposal.

I think this means you are still saying "yes" to the proposal, as is, right?

I am changing my response to 'No' if the protected number is 20, if 25 then yes. My reason is why should I risk losing someone I worked to keep in the first place, always lookimg at what my 25 man roster will be when making deals. Taking dropped players is one thing, but now in reality, going to lose a player that otherwise want to keep just doesn't jive with me.

BROWNFIELD RECLAMATION PROJECT

In a desperate attempt to return to the playoffs for the first time since the league's first season (which he did), CATom has traded away all of his top picks for the next two years:
1st rd pick, '15
2nd rd pick, '15
3rd rd pick, '15
1st pros '15
2nd pros '15
1st rd supp, '15
1st rd pick, '16
1st rd pros, '16
2nd rd pros, '16

In order to find a manager willing to rehabilitate the damaged CATom franchise, I suggest that the league offer the following incentives:

a. The current roster has 41 players on it, including a few diamonds-in-the-rough and a bunch a bums. Let's allow the new manager to drop as many as he wishes.

b. For the upcoming free agent draft, let's allow each team to drop players to the standard max 30/min 25 roster limits and to then protect 20 of the remaining players. The new manager may then select up to one player from the unprotected players on each active roster (or from a team's drop list, if desired).

c. After keeping some of the current players and selecting up to 11 unprotected ones from the other 11 teams, the new manager may have an active roster as large as he wishes at the start of the draft (up to a max of 40).

d. For the supplemental draft in both the 2015 and 2016 card sets, let's allow the new manager to drop up to 3 players (instead of 2) and have an automatic, extra 1st pick prior to the start of the rest of the supp draft.

e. The current roster has 0 prospects and the team has no prospect picks for the next two years. Let's allow an extra prospect pick at the end of each round of the next two prospect drafts.

Shall we offer this incentive package to a new manager?

1. tcochran - YES
2. padrenurgle - YES
3. alk58 - Yes
4. Lakeviewdave - NO (because of 20 protected, YES if 25 protected)
5. thechamp87 - YES

It's a bit ironic that you do not want to risk losing one of your top 25 -- perhaps a PH vs. LHP (or) a 6th SP (or) a 3rd or 4th RP -- when you already hold CATom's 1st rd picks for both 2015 and 2016, to ease that pain.

With 2 picks in the 1st rd and one in the 2nd, I bet you're already planning to kick 3 of those "top 25" to the curb anyhow, right?

Sure I gave up some talent to get those picks also. How was I suppose to know he was going to quit?

Takes 2 to make a deal.

Agreed, I have no quarrel with that.

How about the other question?
