Title: Ideas for fgm in near future
Post by: indiansnation on January 27, 2016, 08:23:29 AM
Fgm is one of best leagues out there but I feel fgm needs updated. I'm throwing these ideas out there. Our minor  league needs to be updated. There are so many great young players out there I feel we should look in adding more minor league players to are team. I'm not saying to do it all at once but do it over a couple of seasons. I'm thinking add 5 spots next 2 yrs to make it 40 minors.

That would only make it 30, not 40.

If we expanded the minor league roster then I would prefer to see two minor league rosters.  One could be AA-AAA and the other could be R-A-A+.  There could be fancier names or even simple names such as High-A and Low-A.  My thought is that the Low-A roster could be treated like the original EDR with the exception that players acquired via trade from another Low-A roster can go to the new team's Low-A roster.  Otherwise, a player must be drafted by that franchise in order to be on the Low-A roster.  Promoting to High-A roster would be necessitated to clear room on the Low-A roster.  That can be viewed as surviving the cut and process of going through the minor league system.  Now, the High-A roster and 40-man roster could also have some new rules that could impact player options/waivers and a Rule 5 draft.

The goal of this league is to be fun, free, and realistic.  Being truly realistic with absurdly sized minor league rosters of 80+ players seems to be too much.  Maybe this idea could be a blend between realism and bring something to a ProFSL baseball league that has not been seen elsewhere.

Wow, complicated. At most 10 flex spots, and flex spots can only not be filled by anyone but draftees?
