For someone like Star ya it would, but isnt that the point of you yourself judging how you play and set your lineups.
and if there is a limit like that it also prevents people from just streaming players in and out of their lineup just for starts so they can get more points. If they do do it (ya i know i said dodo lol) they will then just be adding up more inning pitched to there total limit so they will then take away what they may need later on in the season correct? I mean thats how i would understand it. But bounce some more stuff back to me so i can at least try to see all the options.

More likely what will happen is with a innings cap and a potential heavy hand on the trades the league will die because the teams that kept it active will move on to other leagues.

Well, we have some interesting issues to vote on for possible changes. We could prepare a poll about roster management, trades and streaming, using all points and concerns expresed in this thread, but first we have to check if everybody is on board for the season. The current poll about the draft will tell us who's in and who has to be contacted or replaced.

Again, thanks to all three of you for taking my thoughts into consideration. I know that trades is a relatively touchy subject, and I couldn't agree more that vetoing a particular trade could have adverse effects. I just want to stress that, IMO, many of the trades that went on last season we're lopsided and I hope that's not the case this season. I personally feel that some owners (won't mention any names) wouldn't even bother discussing a trade unless it was totally lopsided in their favor. This may sound like I'm bitching... hell, maybe I am, I don't know. I just hope the trade process is a little different this year. I've discussed this with a couple of other owners and I know they agree with me.
And Lark, I agree with you that the streaming SHOULD be fairly obvious. One of those things "you know it when you see it". I'm with you 100% on that one, but unfortunately, there were some last year who thought the definition of it was unclear. Or claimed it was unclear anyway. Maybe there should be a harsher punishment for those who do stream? I'm just throwing an idea out there.
Anyway, glad we're getting some of these issues out there. Should make for a better league this season!

I can think of a couple of highly unbalanced trades last season, but it's certainly a delicate issue. I'd suggest a trade veto should be unanimously supported by the 3 commissioners. As for the other issues, I'm not in favor of transaction limits, but if it's wanted by majority, it should be a total for a season and not on a weekly basis. Same with IP. I like more the change of one SP slot to a RP one in the rosters.

Well, I need to wait until Yahoo opens up to be sure, but I think to address the streaming issue job 1 needs to be reducing the size of the bench. If I recall, I increased it by a spot or two thinking it would ease the pressure of teams holding onto top NA prospects. However, this league has 2 fewer teams than the other league I am in, so I didn't take into account how many rosterable starting pitchers would be available in the player pool. If I did in fact increase the size of the bench, then step one should be reducing it.

IMO the roster shouldn't exceed 25 slots. |

I agree there, 25 if the max we should carry.

At this point, I don't know which owners are returning or exactly which team you are replacing. We need to get a headcount on which teams need to be replaced. Until that happens, tough to do much of anything. I'll try to send a mass e-mail via the Battle of the Board yahoo group page to get people to check in. |
