Re: Potential immediate rule change

I have no problem with this. 2020 fantasy baseball is going to be a total crapshoot anyway.

Re: COVID-19

Marc, I will take all the mystery out of it and snipe Franchy in Round 7. Why prolong the pain any longer than necessary?

Re: COVID-19

I would also vote for continuing to run the draft. At least we know no one we draft between now and the end of the draft will blow out an elbow or strain a lat (at least we hope?).

Re: 2020 Position Changes

If anyone is curious (or was looking into possibly trying to trade for him), I've made Ohtani a pitcher for 2020.

Re: 2019 Player Adds/Drops

I wouldn't be terribly sad if Russell were gone. Both from DTBL and the Cubs.

Re: 2019 Player Adds/Drops

Only one question really jumps out at me - doesn't Addison Reed have a chance to be the closer in Minnesota this year?

Re: The long anticipated Shohei Ohtani thread

I do think Option 1 is the best way to go as well, as it matches the already existing rules of the league.

I think if we really wanted him to be a 2-way player, Option 4 would be the only way to do it that stays close to the spirit of the league rules. If we gave Ohtani positional flexibility ...

Trade deadline!

Are you looking to try to jump up in the standings and make a run for the title? Are you already in good shape, but think a reinforcement or two might help? Well, you've come to the right place!

With the trade deadline approaching, I'm announcing the availability of most of my roster. Looking for ...

Re: Draft order

Congrats, Marc! We really shouldn't have let you have Aaron Judge for free.

Re: Potential Rule Change

I think Kelly makes a very good point, too - if we do expand roster moves next year, enforcing that a player needs to come off the DL in DTBL once he's off the DL in real life would be a good move. I'm sure that I occasionally have left a guy on the DL longer than I should have to avoid making a ...

Re: Potential Rule Change

Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate that perspective on it.

Here's the key takeaway from that ESPN article:

"To recap: It is now easier to get placed on the DL but no more restrictive to come off of it.

The end result will be an increase in the number of players who will be placed on ...

Re: Potential Rule Change

I'm not quite ready to vote on this yet, but I do have a question.

Would an increase in the number of free agent signings work better with an increase in the available player pool? I'm not suggesting a change to how players enter the league (no adding rookies to the free agent pool midseason or ...
