What a tragedy: ESPN

Below is the text from the ESPN website. They used to be a decent place to play. The cost of entering made the players much more competitive and interested than wastes of time like Yahoo. Now they have revealed their changes for the year and it is sad. Also they reduced their starting requirements to a laughable of 20. I tried a league for fun last night just to see and here is my line up:
Active Hitters:
C Kenji Johjima, Sea C Active
1B Albert Pujols, StL 1B Active
2B Brandon Phillips, Cin 2B Active
3B Scott Rolen, StL 3B Active

Here is the text from ESPN:
NOTE ON STANDARD GAME CHANGES:
Those who have played our legacy, pay-per-team Fantasy Baseball game will notice some changes to the standard game. The name change now refers to this game type as "Prize-Eligible Leagues". As the name says they (still) award a prize to league champ, and all teams are Overall Leaderboard and Uber-Game eligible. In future years we hope to expand Prize-Eligible Leagues to allow for more customization.
Roster size - In a move to make the game easier to play, rosters have been reduced from 25 to 20 players.
