Just because I saw the Util/DH discussion on the FB group and I had one of my own.

1. Add an extra starting spot for a pure DH/expand rosters by 1.

2. Add an extra DL spot. I think we're at 2 and I would like 3, at least. (This is mine)
With DL's having gone down from 15 to 10 days, teams are using it a lot more and there have been times during the last few seasons where our teams have had 4-6 guys on the DL and we lose options because of it. If we were playing full season roto, I don't think this would matter as much but in a week to week H2H format, it can definitely swing weeks and especially in the playoffs.

God help me...But I agree with DevSop on both counts.

Especially #2. How many times did all of us have a week where we lost 4-5 starters to the IL, and had to choose between dropping a legit starter to pick up another (lesser) player, or just go with that spot open (which most of us did). 

The DH thing is only natural since we'll have DHs in both MLB leagues moving forward.

[Attitude Adjuster]

I agree with both, but #1 only if the National League adapts the DH. #2 I think we voted on before and rejected, which is why we came up with the season-ending DL slot. But we can vote again.

I seriously thought we had already agreed on a 3rd regular DL slot, like very recently. Maybe I'm thinking the hockey league.

And for the record, I think we need 4 spots.

No complaints there

Minor league draft timing and/or loophole closing.

Formal petition for the #1 playoff tiebreaker to be regular season record.

Reasoning?

Because he ran the risk of getting his shit pushed in and wanted an easier week right after a bye week.

[Road Warrior Shark]

That's a no vote from me. Stats from potentially months ago should not decide who wins this week.

[DevSop]

I’m willing to listen if there’s a good reason behind it, but I’m very much with Sharky. The bye, in theory, is what the regular season record gets you.

I will make a pitch for re-seeding after the wild card round.

Except that’s how MLB essentially does it? Series played months ago help determine potential tie breaker. Season head-to-head…look at what happened in the NL East this year.

I just wonder why Mikey wants it.

[DevSop]

If the current tiebreakers all wind up tied, we revert to regular season record or head to head, but the dual categories still work best since its based on the actual play during the week of the matchup. And MLB tiebreakers only really work for standings, they don't decide actual matchups.

[DevSop]

My 2 off-season rule change requests.

1. Re-seed after wildcard round
2. Revert minor league rosters back to 6 or 7. We've seen no real boost from limiting the number for 2 seasons and it definitely doesn't affect the draft which is why the change was originally requested.

Tiebreak for seeding, sure, but not the matchup. If Mets/Dodgers is tied after 9 innings of game three next week, they don't decide the winner based off who won their first series in May.

Can I sign up for the Mets/Dodgers being tied after 9 innings in game 3 next week now?

OK, I'll throw all these up for votes. But especially regarding the minor league keeper expansion, will you idiots please make up your minds. I think I can go back and see how you all voted the first time. And if any of you who are bitching now about how you voted then, I will out you.
