I only found 2 very minor rule things I wanted to put out there this year:

1. Proposal: Freeze on players that still meet prospect status being added to majors/ESPN rosters during the midseason prospect. There was 1 instance this past year where someone who could have been drafted in the midseason prospect draft was added to a team's major league roster during the draft. I don't think this was at all intentional and I don't think it was even someone all that sought after, but it raised the possibility of that happening in the future so would be good to patch now

2. I am not sure if this can be addressed or not, but I don't like that the 10 day prospect promotion rule can be used by an owner who is aware of their guy over limits and allow them to stash their player a little bit longer. There were a few instances of an owner saying "yep I see this guy over limits, I'll wait until the end of the time period to address" - which is not that big of a deal, but the spirit of the rule was to give a little leeway to MIA owners that may have life going on and who didn't realize they have a guy over limits, not to give more time to owners who are on top of it. This really is not a big deal and like I said, not sure how to enforce differently, but I feel like if you see you have a guy over limits, you should address them then, not a week later just because you can

Agree with 1

Also agree with 2.... although im the idiot who lost henry davis bc i got caught up with a insane amount of work last summer. I dont like owners saying to just wait to 10 days however I can see this situation come up

Close matchup, day 3-4 in the matchup and the person has used 2/3 of there pickups and antcipating to pick up another starter to finish up the week. If they have to add then/there it adds that additional pickup which could lead to a win/loss.

So 10 days may be fine, I would say 2 matchups. So if goes over during week 12, has to be added by end of week 13 etc. So if goes over limits could be 8 days to 14 days. We base it off the week.

This would also be good incase someone used all pickups that week and then would HAVE to add the following or end up losing the prospect.

[pcarlson05]

I agree with rule one. I disagree with rule 2. If the intention is to give some leeway to MIA owners, then you can’t do that while forcing active owners to not be allowed the same time period. Decide which is more important: leeway, or strict enforcement for spirit of the rule, and then deal with whatever unintended consequences arise from either decision. But no need to second guess it.

Personally I would favor allowing some leeway in the league while potentially giving an active owner a minuscule advantage (hey good for them, a benefit of being an active owner), rather than being too strict.

[Hollywood42]

I do agree with this, but I think we could 1 case as intended and created at least several of the "loophole" for lack of a better term cases. It seems bad that it created more prospects over limits on prospect rosters for longer, than it did prevent. As stated though this is a very minor thing and I'm not losing sleep over it

I agree with rule one.

I disagree with rule two. I think the leeway should stay for a active owner. Maybe they are out of adds for the week? Do we know they are looping around the rule just to loop around the rule?

1 Agree.

2- I am the guilty party and pretty much feel like Carlson above.

You can't punish active owners for using the 'clock'. Its one way or the other.

10 days at most is 35-40 AB's of a prospect that you have to make a decision on. If you are a competitve team, that decision can mean dropping a contributing player to pick up a young unproven player off your prospect roster. For instance I believe the player I did it with was O'Hoppe when he came back at the end of the season, he went over. I really didnt have room for him on a team battling for playoff positioning. I eventually added him because he played well enough early to warrant the add at a thin position.

My issue here is more so, I could have ignored the message, waited til day 10 and added him and it's a non issue. But because I was forth right about it, we should change the rule. Just feels a touch nitpicky. Im good with whatever happens but you have to give time to add guys after they reach limits, but whatever that time is, should be who/what/why/how everyone gets regardless of reason. Also these adds then should not count against weekly add totals.

Just my 2 cents.
