That’s my thing exactly. I don’t have any issue with the rule If the league was completely open, but without Free Agency open, my only means of acquiring a catcher that I ultimately don’t really want is through trade. I’m just saying that the rule should be postponed until free agency opens.
I appreciate your opinion, and all opinions.
I think it's easy enough to fix.
Regardless it's my belief that it's not easy for people to look outside personal opinions or personal interests.
For example without a rule like this what's stopping you from trading every player eligible for Mlb? Completely stripping the team.
Then having a life changing event that prevents you having time to participate in fantasy anymore. Now the league before it gets started has a team that cannot even field a legal roster and it's left to me to find an owner to try and take over that mess.
The rule is in place for the safety of the league. Regardless of your opinions and with all do respect it's not going to change. There is no further need for discussion on the matter.
Option 1 sit and do nothing till FA starts. That's fine.
Option 2 make a quick trade with a team like Brian's Rays who have 4 eligible catchers. That's fine.
Option 3 does not exist.
