Ok, so I'm pretty much 100% sure we're cutting "MI" and "CI" and going to 1 "IF" spot. The only other question is if we drop down to 26 or 25. So lets make this official.

Option #1: Drop to 26 by making the "IF" change.
Option #2: Drop to 25 by making the "IF" change and dropping a "SP" slot.
Option #3: Make the "IF" change but keep it at 27, just adding a bench spot.

Is there any chance of changing the pitching spots from 4,3,2 to 5 SP and 4 RP?

Is there any reason to do that? I can't think of one. As it is doesn't the 4/2/3 setup allow you 5 SP and 4 RP? The only thing that change would result in as best as I can figure is eliminating the ability to use 5 RPs. Which is a pretty small change but also an elimination of strategy that would lessen the talent pool. Am I missing something?

Doesn't matter to me on the poll.

Haven't we had 5 SP slots before already? I thought it was 5-3-2 or 5-2-3. Whatever we've been using on that front, I saw keep it, though I wouldn't be against dropping from 5 to 4 SP in the name of deepening the talent pool.

I'd prefer to drop down to 25, but that's not going to happen and I'd rather see it drop at least the one so I voted for Option Uno. The available talent pool is just way too thin later in the season.

8 votes. Mike abstained. Solly and Grover haven't weighed in. 12th man is Lou, and since its your league now too feel free to weigh in.

And yeah, Mike, we're set at 5/3/2. I think Dev's main goal was to cut down on the numbers of RP and my guess is that's to cut down on the number of relief pitchers and holds guys used. Which to my best figuring just lessens the talent pool and eliminates strategy, but I'm willing to listen to an argument. But its gotta be made before the draft.

And I'm still working on the minor league thing. That's not a major rush since rosters don't unlock until May, but I'd still ideally like to get it figured out before the season starts. Just at the bottom of the list at the moment.
