you know in a perfect world when an Active Roster player went on IR you would be able to call up a Minor Leaguer (or several) to fill the empty roster space
said Minor Leaguer would then be sent back down to the Minors, assuming he still had an option(s) remaining, and this would just be how it was done
i doubt FanTrax allows us to do this, but maybe they do? (no excel sheets please lolZ) i mean they kind of do now, as far as allowing us to "promote" a minor leaguer to an active roster...i know we have the (1) minor demotion a year, but would there be any merit to changing that to something like (1) demotion for every minor leaguer a year? or upping the demotion to (random number) 10? 15? 3? guessing at some point it would have to be spread-sheeted, which would be a deal breaker, but i am thinking this would mimic MLB more closely and be another layer of protection against the parade of Red Crosses on everyone's roster...which also got worse a few years ago when they changed the MLB IR rules and the Dodgers started "abusing" it
also, at some point we should seriously consider developing and marketing our own Fantasy Baseball site woot if for no other reason than to get things the way we want...and also because I've grown quite tired of working for a living

^^I like that idea but as you mentioned I fear it devolves into a spreadsheet that requires tracking.
I'm down to start our own fantasy site...been tired of working for the past 25 years...

would like to suggest eliminating the "Designated DL Keeper" allowance for keepers who have season-ending injuries and replace it by just adding a 4th IR slot to use as needed
just a thought, if you want to keep an injured player on IR for the whole season then you could just do it, and if not there are a lot of owners who could use the extra IR spot...i haven't been hit too bad but it's kind of ugly out there in the MLB landscape

I think it also fits with the trend to automate everything. Right now we’d drop the DL keeper and pronk would add it as a stash.

This isn't an endorsement nor is it a negative comment about a 4 IL slot just an observation. Another slot further dilutes the player pool.

it totally does, but man it's not quite as rewarding to win when you look over at your opponent's Live Scoring page all week and see nothing but ghost faces
it's even worse when you lose :+\

Decide quick because once I start dropping these injured bums its going to be a no vote from me.

Maybe the commissioner should put up a poll?

SOUTH going to have to add felonies to his list of typical player characteristics besides dying prematurely.

apologies for ghosting this place, but I went back to work about a week before our first game and have been stupid busy the past 3 weeks. if any of you need to get ahold of me for anything fbb or clippers or stupid/funny meme related just text me. my number is the same as the one on the dynasty league contact sheet. it's just easier for me than checking messages here. even if the text is "left you a message on ncoast" I can check it, but with going from 8 to 3 managers at our account for the time being I won't really be able to check in here too often. forgot what having 120 kids is like. damn they're some needy sob's. and I love the idea of our own site. definitely okay with not having to work from here out.

Anyone else having trouble accessing Fantrax? Not today but i had some troubles yesterday and from what I could find they had some issue that sounded like it affected mobile android users. I cleared my browser history and it took off. Not sure if you run android or ios.

Back to a little of the IL talk. How do you guys feel about changing something midseason? Usually I would be against changing rules on the fly however the game is meant to be fun it sounds like there may be a majority in favor of that change.

I'm not sure it even matters, FA is a dumpster fire.

Very true ww is *** but damn it's tough to put a starting roster when 6 or 7 of your guys are injured. It doesn't give you many choices. I'd rather have a plug in then just give away zero stats

If nobody is strongly against it, lets get a poll up? I'm at about the spot where I'm going to have to drop people of significance to fill voids on my team, I wouldn't want to vote on it after people have to start doing that.

I'm gonna go ahead and ask forgiveness instead of permission and post a poll for the IL question. I messaged SOUTH but haven't heard back yet.

another option would be to reduce minors roster by 5 and increase active roster by 5
an extra DL spot is great but if we did the roster ingestion it would help teams field a full lineup (4 dl, 5 new roster spots), which is what we want in the end...even if we have to whore out Randall Grichuk to each other every week
prob would help in that regard (being able to get a start a "full"er lineup vs an opponent) without causing too great a run on the FA pool, i think most owners have 2-3 minors that are in the majors now
also wouldn't force owners to cut anyone unless they chose to
it just seems since the new IR rules (i am talking MLB rule change) that MLB teams will gerrymander the snot out of who is injured and who isn't, so the roster crunch for us is a phenomena that is being driven on the MLB level by something beyond even covid, which is the roster needs of individual MLB teams on any given day/week/month...this means we might need a solution not a band-aid...because even when covid is not a factor the MLB teams will find a reason to IR somebody if it benefits them because it has become so easy to do so
