Yes I say we put forth an idea to fix the minors issue and vote ASAP. I did, but it didn't get much traction.
Also, while we are complaining this max roster thing is kind of a pain, is there any way to do max minors and max active roster and max IL like we had before? My 3 hurt dudes are forcing me to stay at 24 active and 13 minors to keep under the 40 player cap.

In theory, you could have 43 players if all roster spots and IL spots are filled.

Ideally that would have been good but I still think there would have been issues to deal with at the beginning of the season due to the change of sites. Also, a couple weeks gives everyone a chance to see what you can and can't do. Obviously we don't want everything to turn into a free for all and I think most owners have played by the rules we always have had, even if they aren't enforced on the site, but we probably do want to close this loophole as soon as possible. I'd like everything to be automated by fantrax if possible. So what options does that leave us as far as Minors players?

I'm open to just about anything. I have been scouring the interwebs looking for how various leagues are set up and there are so many ways out there its almost ridiculous.
One way would be to only allow true minor leaguers as minor eligible. I am personally not a fan of this as it eliminates our free will determination of when WE think we should call a player up.
Another way is for it to be "free for all" where you can move everyone freely around. The biggest negative I can see with this way was eluded to by TESL a month ago, and that is how does that potentially impact stash and streaming of pitchers. At least with this one, I can think of a mitigation option by altering the criteria for minor eligibility. If you recall, the limits were set to PA & IP after comparing those values to previous years mandatory promotions and rostered minor player's MLB service time. Maybe the limits could be reduced to lower that type of roster action.
For me I really want to hear everyone's thoughts...for my money this is the healthiest league I have ever been apart of and much of that stems from us making the league what we want to be.

Yeah I'm a fan of keeping it simple. I would:
1. Make it so only players that are on an actual minors team can be added to a minors roster. This means: A. You can pick up a minor player in FA and go directly to your minors. B. You can demote any player on your active squad that gets demoted in real life.
2. Allow ineligible players rostered on a minors roster to stay there until he is promoted by the owner or in the off-season when eligibility is checked against baseball reference > 2 years service time.
How this would deviate from our current rules: 1. You can now add a player that is playing in the MLB to your minors roster if he has less than 2 years service time. This would be gone. He would have to be on a minors team, not in the majors. 2. You cannot now demote a player that got sent down to the minors without burning your 1 demotion, or dropping him and hoping he clears waivers. 3. Not sure how else, maybe I'm missing more...
This is what I posted before, would like to use it as a starting point to a rule. See what people like/don't like and if we can find something automated with keeping the intent of the minors roster.

Please pay no attention to me, I'm a dumba$$. instead of clicking "submit now" I was clicking next which Fantrax then suggested I drop a player and confused me. It works as intended, I can stream my poopy pitcher

I found another option that may work and be pretty close to what we have been used too. Admittedly I'm not sure how to implement in season if it was chosen but here's the concept anyways.
We create a 3rd division that is made up of our minors players, aka the farm division. There are options that would that can restrict adds/drops on those rosters and/or make the movement via commish only.
More food for thought...

i think the setup is fine (unless i am misunderstanding, which is possible) owners just need to make sure if they are signing a FA to their minors roster they need to check that option in the transaction
i like that minors trannies count against your cap

I’m fine with what ever we decide honestly. I’ll adjust to what ever we do but I also would like to think we can police ourselves. Like previously stated we have a great group of owners that I truly believe will not cheat the league.....Now we are great at exploiting things within the rules(LOL) but not purposely breaking a rule.
I like the one demotion a year.
If you add a FA that is minor eligible then make sure you are selecting what slot you want. Either active or minor league. If you add that player to the active and later decide you want him on your minor league roster then you have 2 options. 1. Drop and then pick him back up after the waivers onto your minor team or 2. Use your one demotion.
Same for drafted players. If they are drafted in the active draft then they are on your active roster. Only way they find themselves on the minor roster is if you use your one demotion or waiver wire. Just my two cents on the subject.
But thinking on the matter wouldn’t it be interesting if you wanted to move a guy down, then that player would be placed on waivers for the whole league to have a shot at. Woof that would be fun. But like previously stated I’m good with what ever we decide as I’ll adjust but let’s set a date and decide.

If the only issue is roster violations by SOX I’m sure we can provide him with an updated version of that google docs rules. He seems like he wants to play by the rules, just doesn’t fully understand them. Otherwise, let’s vote on some Poop and move on?

It’s bad enough my team is inconsistent but seems like every week I’m going against someone who’s offense just unloads. Going to be one of those years.

Is it just me or does it seem like we are seeing a lot of blowouts early? But it certainly isn't consistent.

an interesting thing i noticed is that if you look at Season Stats in the Standings header it shows everyone's counting stats for the season ALONG WITH Games Played
there appears to be a connection to overall record and total games played (or lack thereof) with some owners being on the extreme end of covid related shenanigans

Ive been crippled more by injuries: Yelich Marte Strasburg Paxton Syndergaard Teheran Ray and lack of positional flexibility. I've also failed to properly substitute like 5 pitchers into my lineup. Maybe 3 of those times, I was absolutely sure I put them in but apparently it didn't take. I changed the settings and I still had that issue....maybe I clicked off the website or closed the app too soon after. More than likely USER ERROR tho.

WTF is going on with this league 2 thing? I just made a couple transactions that seemed maybe a little to good to be true....then noticed everyone's record was 0-0-36. Somehow I was taken to this fantasy world when I went to my team this morning instead of the regular league.

League (2) is a test league for minors transactions, its only temporary. I'm going to to disable some stuff there so no one else makes that mistake. Please go to the original league to make your transactions. Sorry for the inconvenience it was an oversite on my part not realizing anyone would be able to see the league without an invite.

No league related but why in the F would a league knowingly and actively prevent owners from activated a player off IL and using said player on the same day? SMFH...
