D2D trash talk and draft comments thread

I still strongly feel that any rule that will increase the number of guys available in the draft is very, very important in a 24 team league. The Supplemental draft and 10 man prospect rosters are killing opportunities to rebuild. My last rebuild took three years and that is as an active trader. Other than relief pitching cards there is almost nothing of consequential value after the 15th pick of the first round or so. Plenty of fliers that could turn out well but nothing that you are drafting as a sure thing.

I don't know about increasing the number of keepers. While it would definitely help me this year I think it's a good thing that we have a 20 person limit. I'm been in unlimited keeper leagues and it can take forever to rebuild. This format creates a little more parity/opportunity.

I concur.

So I guess the general increasing of roster size isn't something I'd be in favor of, think a lot of us have put in some strategy and long-term planning to accomodate the existing rules. I'm talking more specifically about the un-planned variables, allowing a little bit of give for it. For whoever has Nick Anderson in this league maybe they should be able to hang on to a guy like that without penalty while he's on the mend. Not to far different from what we did with the COVID spot last year.

So, to box it in a little for discussion, I'd propose the following Rule Addition (Effective in the next year's draft/league):

Roster Size
5) Each team may have one DL spot that does not count against either the player maximum roster size or keeper limits. Such player must have been A) Previously drafted by the team in question, B) have been carded in the year previous, and C) not be carded in the current set due to reasons of injury. Specifically barred from utilization of this slot are any players who are not carded due to MLB suspensions relating to off-field or on-field conduct.

Are you saying you'd want this to start with our 2023 keepers next Spring...or did you mean for this coming year (right now)

I would be in favor of a 1 player DL starting in 2023 as “boxed in” above

Next year. Our 2023 keepers (reflecting the 2022 MLB Season). We're in the middle of drops and everything else going on with this years draft, and these kind of things are better to do prospectively I think vs. in the middle of a year... But think it's important to get "on the books" before this season starts.

Jim,
Can you remind me of this rule (to vote on) AFTER the drafts as we start our 1st season and I'll put it out there for a vote. I don't see the need to do it right now, but as soon as the drafts are completed (while everyone is still paying attention), I'll email out for a vote.
