IR slottings proposition

We only use one IR; any reason why this couldn’t be the max Fantrax limit?

I could certainly argue 30 roster slots and milr player usage is a lot... but some strategies appear to be only known NHL talent. In the spirit of driving trades down the stretch for competitive teams I’d recommend opening more IR slottings. Someone with five injuries could then continue building by trading a star for multiple pieces or just moving picks for performing players.

I recommend a simple one OR Max vote but it could certainly be anything in between...

Given there are 30 roster spots already I'm not sure it's completely necessary.
Perhaps 2 IR spots if we take this to a vote.

What's the Fantrax MAX for IR spots? Never knew there was a max #.

I require from my teams, proper levels of anger, belligerence and some good ol' fashion piss 'n' vinegar.

I don't see more IR spots as necessary in a deep league like this one. The talent is already spread pretty thin.

I don't care one way or the other about it though

With the roster size as it is and the use of milr players I don’t see the need for any IR slots to be honest. Since I’ve been in the league there have only been a couple times I used the IR slot.

I personally do not believe we need more IR spots given roster sizes and an already deep league with few free agents in the pool (something that's fine by me because it makes things challenging).

I would also have to agree with other who have stated there is no urgent need to increase the number of Injured Reserve spots.

Guessing this is a non-starter.

I could see a 2nd IR spot but as others have said, with 30 roster spots and 31 soon to be 32 teams, the free agent pool is shallow. However, teams should continue this discussion if they wish.

  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    Today at 02:42:54 PM

    Today at 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    Today at 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.

  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    Today at 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

    Today at 04:35:28 PM

  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    Today at 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen

  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
