RULES CHANGE PROPOSAL - Increase 60 day IR spots

[rcankosy]

Fantrax has a setting whereby your roster would be illegal if you left a healthy player on the IL, and you would score zero points. I think that would be a powerful incentive to prevent teams from stashing players.

I'm for keeping the 60-day at two. I don't see that many on the 60 day in MLB to qualify for our IL. There are currently 54 players on the 60-day DL throughout MLB. Less than 2/team
What I see most is day-to-day. For a little perspective: https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/injuries/
As for a 7,10 or 15 day IL being added, consider that players placed on IR can be replaced thru FA. Looks like a nightmare trying to keep up with. Players can be stashed indefinitely on the IR if GM's don't keep up. There are enough problems getting GMs to update their prospect contracts on a regular basis let alone players going on/off IL

The only thing I saw was a setting for Max. on IR. Where is this setting?

OK I see the setting and it looks like it would serve the purpose as far as not hoarding players.
The only other issue is keeping the spreadsheet up=to-date.

[rcankosy]

The compromise in another Profsl league to limit the spreadsheet transactions was to cap the IL to 5 players.

That's one question that needs to be answered- How many IR spots do we want? 2,5,10, unlimited?
Another consideration:
Currently only 60-day IR players are eligible for our IR. Do we want to add 10,and 15-day players?

[ldsjayhawk]

Since our rosters are equivalent to the 40 man roster, only the 60 day IR makes sense.  Injury totals only climb as we progress through the season.

Yes increase to 2 more 15 day IR slots
