2023 Player Adds/Drops

Postby Kevin » Mon Feb 27, 2023 10:13 pm

Before I get to the list of players who will be added to and removed from the league's player pool for the upcoming season, I want to mention that I made a slight adjustment to the position distribution of these slots. Somewhat counterintuitively, despite the NL now having a full-time designated hitter as well, there actually seem to be fewer of the 1B/DH only types in baseball. Teams are using both positions as a place to shuffle more versatile players into their lineups. So it no longer makes sense to have considerably more 1B in the player pool compared to the other infield positions since it isn't exclusively 1B-eligible players occupying DH roles. Honestly, I could not come up with 33 1B who I felt were worthy of inclusion on the league roster, which is the number we had last year. I decided to swap out two of those slots to other positions: one additional 3B (for a total of 28) and one more outfielder (92 total). Perhaps I will take it a step further and even out all four infield positions next year (there remain 27 2B and SS). But for now, 31 feels like the right number for 1B because the position is still a bit deeper than the rest of the infield.

As mentioned in the position change post, we're shooting for Thursday, March 9 to begin the draft. Please post your comments or suggestions in this thread. I plan to finalize this list and post the official draft pool about a week from now.

With today's news that Gavin Lux tore his ACL and will probably miss the entire season, there isn't much reason to keep him on the league roster for '23. Since he was slated to move from SS to 2B (in this league), I'm replacing him with 2B Tony Kemp.
