Bob, I'd like to offer the following rule change to the league to be voted on now with it to start, if passed, beginning at the conclusion of our current season.

"Farm system is limited to 10 spots at any given time", replacing the current number of "8".

The rationale is as follow: We have a four round prospect draft, and allow for the drafting of players who have not yet been drafted by an MLB team (which includes young players, international players, future potential draftees, etc...). So, it really allows a two year cap on most prospects being protected as we would draft those 8 spots every two years, and even college players can take longer than two years to make it to the show. The extra two spots shouldn't be a huge shift in how the league operates, but would allow managers a little extra room to protect a player without it impacting their roster.

I've reached out to a couple managers, and there seems to be some consensus support for this and I think it would be good for the league without altering it very much at all.

Thanks!

I have watched this vote for a while. First of all, this was over quickly. the nugget is I rarely vote on rule changes. I signed up for a League with the rules in place. You will see me without a vote about 99% of the time. I won't live long enough to hit the 100th vote. Not unhappy with the rule change, just stating my position on me voting about rule changes.
