RULES CHANGE PROPOSAL - Increase minor league rosters

[TheProfessor]

We currently have 5 yeas to 3 nays. Would like to see at least 1/3 of the league discuss this topic before deciding to proceed to a poll or table for future consideration.

I don?t mean to sound negative, but the lack of responses make me think that owner voted are becoming less relevant. Perhaps, we should consider having such rules decided by a committee.

I agree with you, but I want to let the current process play out first before suggesting or instituting wholesale changes.

Yes - More MILB slots could help rebuilding teams become competitive more quickly.

In general, I'm opposed to increasing the milb roster spots significantly.  If I wanted to deal with a huge minor league system, I would have signed up for a different league.

I think this should be revisited if we ever change the minimum number of active players.

There has to be 8 for votes to proceed to a poll.

I agree to add more minor league spots but at a slower process maybe add 5 open slots per draft. Maybe 20 spots total. Dont want it to be to big butbit would help add more chances to call up guys and help build up mlb rosters quicker. Teams that dont want to add more players to minors can choose not to atleast they have the open slots in minors to do so

No. More availability of free agents helps rebuilding teams.
