My first of what is normally many...

1. An update to the minor league player can not be added from the end of the major league draft through the end of the minor league draft rule. My suggestion is that minor league players can not be picked up and demoted unless they pass through waivers. If someone sees news that minor league player A is going to start/be called up on Friday, they can pick them up and use them but that player can not be demoted unless he passes through waivers. It's a compromise between the old rule and the new rule that I misunderstood.

To be clear, you're saying:

During Minor League draft...
Player A is called up from minors
Fantasy owner picks up Player A
Player A is demoted by real club
Player A is waived by fantasy owner
Player A becomes a free agent
Only then can Player A be placed on Minor League Keeper roster

This can't take place before the Minor League draft because minor league rosters are frozen until the draft begins.

No, I’m saying…I read reports on April 18th that player A is about to be promoted. Rules, right now, say I can not pick up the player until he is actually promoted which may be too late to use him on the day he is promoted. I would like the rule to be used so that I can pick up player A, but that I can never demote player A unless he passes through waivers. If I want to pick someone up for my major league roster prior to May 1, I can but I can not demote that player unless he passes through waivers. Basically the rule would be, any player picked up from the end of the major league draft through the end of the minor league draft on your major league roster must pass through waivers before being demoted. This would still allow you to draft someone during the major league draft and demote them because you are using the roster space for the full month plus. It would allow an owner to pick someone up (Pfaadt/Stone, etc) if they read reports they are going to be promoted. Those players could not be demoted unless they pass waivers and get added to a minor league roster. In rare cases, it would stop what Solly was able to do with Bradley who picked him up on the day when he was promoted and able to demote him because the Rays had demoted him but I think that is a better rare situation than stopping someone from adding to their roster.

The rule should be in place to block people from circumventing the minor league draft, not block them from trying to improve their major league roster.

12 hour time clock for draft with a pause on clocks from midnight-10 am EST.

Minor League Keepers at 6 or 7


And I want to see what the interest is on a much deeper Dynasty format. We've all mostly been in the league 8+ years and I think Sharky/Jenn would be in for the long haul. We've had a bit of turnover with the final spot but hopefully that's secure now as well. I just want to see if there is any interest in this. We'd have to work on the specifics of the rules as they probably wouldn't take effect until after next season since # of keepers, draft picks, when players can be kept, etc. would all be on the table.

Definitely interested in keeping more players.

Minor rosters should have never dropped from 7 IMO. I don't think we've seen a real change in the available talent that was the intent behind the cut to 5.

I wouldn't mind keeping 7 instead of 5 each year in the regular draft. Might help speed the draft up a touch, seeing as the last few rounds drag on and there'd be 2 fewer picks per person to wait on.

I feel like the importance of commas can’t be overstated.

I'm going through the rule change suggestions. I don't think this even needs to go through a vote because it makes logical sense to close a loophole I don't think we ever intended. Anyone object?

Can we vote on increasing major and minor league keepers?
