I'm not sure that we need to increase the EDR size. My concern is the unexpected side-effects to the FA pool. One of the things that keeps people interested during the season is the possibility of finding "lightening in a bottle".Every year we have a 10 round FYPD and statistics show that we all have players currently on our EDR that will, more than likely, never see a MLB pitch. From Bleacher Report:"only 66 percent of first-round picks play in the major leagues.""For those players drafted in the second round of the draft, the chances of reaching the major leagues drops to 49 percent.""Rounds 3-5 are a major turning point where the odds begin to drastically decrease, as only 32 percent of players drafted reach the majors.""And the likelihood of playing in the major leagues continues to worsen, as only 20 percent of players drafted in Rounds 6-10 reach The Show."http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1219356-examining-the-percentage-of-mlb-draft-picks-that-reach-the-major-leaguesI would rather keep the EDR at 20 and if you decide to sign a player without having an available EDR spot, drop a player.I have long been a proponent of allowing traded EDR player be allowed to be placed on the EDR of the acquiring team's EDR and I don't have any issues with Point #2
