I?ve seen numerous posts across a few leagues this season and, while I know it?s not a short term change and would need to be discussed over the off-season at the least, but I think the change that occurred when covid hit and the rules changes that have followed have changed the way games and injuries are managed and I think we need to consider a bit of a shift in rules to keep up. I currently have 13 players on the IR. That?s more than 1/3 of my roster. It makes it incredibly difficult to roster a team. Therefore, I think we potentially relax the 60 day trade limitations a bit and possibly a small IR that would allow players to be called up from MiLB rosters when injuries occur. Thanks!
1) Injury List: I don't support this change for a 10 day DL, but I would for a 60 day DL. Our rosters already reflect what is allowed in MLB, except for a 60 day DL. We are allowed to move any player from our 40 man roster where MLB can only use a 25 man roster. When an MLB team puts a player on their 10 day IL, the replacement comes from the 40 man roster unless they make a change to that roster. We're already using our entire 40 man roster. Basically, our rule is more liberal than MLB. I would however, support having a 60 day DL, where the player on the DL doesn't actually count against the 40 man total, as that is something MLB has that we don't. Plus adding a 10 day DL would deplete from the available player pool, make things more confusing and increase the work Ernie has to put in for little extra gain. My opinion is 10 day IL No, 60 day IL Yes.2) 60 day rule: I really don't like the idea of someone signing a FA and then shipping them off. It seems like it would yield shady dealings. The exception to that is that if a FA is signed during the season, I could see wanting to be able to move them at the deadline. As for extensions, if you're team isn't interested in keeping the player, I don't want your team to artificially increase the player's value when you have no intention of keeping the player. I'd rather them hit the FA market.My opinion is no change unless it is for in season FA signings.
