KEEP DL move as is + 1 extra FRI move

Post by Quahogs » Mon May 04, 2009 5:56 am

Let's not take a step back. If I lose 2 players to the DL monday thru thursday(at least 1 being a pitcher) BOTH Dough's and KJ's new and improved rules hose me. Let's keep what works (removing a hurt player from your lineup whether it be a pitcher or hitter) and allow a little flexibility (to sit a non-DL non-performing player). Let's build on instead of chop down. :D Thoughts ? as I now duck !

[/QUOTE]Jules, if you're in favor modifying the DL rule then that would include non-DL players. By non-performing I mean benched or farmed out or hurt but day to day players. To slap a label or a classification on a non-DL'd player would be awfully messy. A +1 move for any reason would be cleaner

Q - if you want to allow 1 extra move, why not 2 extra moves or up to 7 extra moves?

The rule as is must be agreeable to them. 1 additional move on friday would be helpful in the same vein and allow them to clean up the active roster a little bit. Heck they're looking anyway let them swap out that "going to miss the next series" type player. 2+ moves I believe will rattle the anti-streaming pro-havealife nest.

However if an owner wants to get 2 starts out of a combination of TWO different pitchers, everyone poo poos that idea?



Why the difference?

[/QUOTE]RISK. Teams are grabbing a 2 start pitcher off the FA list. The player sitting out there most likely has warts (a Suppan, a Karstens, a Colon etc). Could be an ugly 2 start week AND they could be dropping someone useful.



A 2 or 3 stream move on friday let's me keep the 3 closers in there while running my 7th and 8th starters in there. I don't have to sit a likeable starter for a 2 start free agent bum.



I really don't oppose more than 1 move. I just think you need to thread the needle here. Let's try to get this contest to swap out that SP or hitter that's not going to play the LAST weekend of the season that you find out about on friday morning :mad: Right now our hands are tied and it will remain that way unless we get something out there that the masses will agree to.

What I am most in favor of is if a player in your active line-up goes on the DL, we are able to replace that player with a bench player, regardless of the day they go on the DL.

[/QUOTE]Several reasons and they are just my 2 cents, but I like the way the NFBC is set up for the most part. Not a fan of the current DL rule, mostly because I think it should be DL without a designated cut-off (ie. be able to make a DL move on Saturday).



If we start adding in a move to help the Ben Sheets type players in MLB, then that takes away from part of my draft strategy. And even if it is not a Sheets type, I think it is just part of the game.

we're all in the same boat. the only thing i would like to see is what i've been saying all along and jules said. you can move a DL'ed player when he hits the DL, regardless of what day of the week.

if modifications are made, i'm sure they will be subtle changes as to not upset the applecart and i'll be fine with that too.

i have enough respect for greg that he's not about to ruin a good thing. but i also feel he will listen to any one of the thousand ideas that are presented to him and discussed on the MB and make the right decision.

I see where you stand now Jules.



KJ just posted a good summary of the 1 move per week which I'm in favor of in ADDITION to keeping the current DL rule -



"Each week team owners have the option of replacing one player in their lineup prior to Friday's games for the Friday-Sunday scoring period. The intent of this rule is to allow owners to replace injured players, whether on the DL or not, with a productive player off their bench. However, it also may be used for any other reason, thus affording the owner some additional roster flexibility. Unused roster moves DO NOT accumulate for use in future weeks".
