Hey guys, just a quick update on the results based on the responses received so far. With half the league responding already, the votes are pretty split for all options, except franchise tags. Franchise tags have so far received only favorable or neutral responses.

OK, I've set up a form to collect interest in the possible changes we discussed: https://goo.gl/forms/LUOYENpLKQzBICFx2
I'll post results back here, and we can have a quick vote prior to the auction to approve any additions.

I think we discussed no loans, 5milb and the rule five draft while franchise tags and coupons were at least brought up. I floated the idea of no trade deadline last offseason too. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything, and I'll put it all in a form for a quick vote.

Hey Miguel, I intended to make a quick poll for a few of the options we'd talked about and have it out before the deadline. I didn't plan on implementing anything right away--even something like 5milb I'd want to push until after the auction.

Cool, I should probably get a survey ready for a few custom options. Either that or wait until just before the auction, heh.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the idea? I think it would be an easy thing to test next offseason.

Like a hybrid of the cut down league and 5milb (if those guys could be poached).

I think this solves that, since you risk losing anyone not protected. People could still load up, but they can't protect them all.

I think if you want to solve the loading up before season ends, maybe you can just write rules and wrinkles just like we did in league 100. Maybe you want a 5 minor leaguer draft (5 guys on your team that aren't on the roster but are yours) or do like another league is doing that you can load up at season's end but need to be at 40 rosters (plus guys on 60dl) for when arbitration starts. It's a bit more hands on, but you can manage all of that if you really want to.

I think it's an interesting idea.

This would have to occur in the offseason, much like the real rule five draft. Essentially it could mirror it if that would help anchor it.

So, in this hypothetical, they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Yeah, you might, heh. Only three teams are at 40 or below.

Am I missing something? Isn't there 40 spots on each roster? There wouldn't be much to choose from.
-
No idea if it would work, and it might end up as everyone's early cut list, but it would be interesting.

Basically, each team could protect 40 players and I'd ask for a list of who they aren't protecting--or a spreadsheet in goob's case 😏--to add to a public list. We'd take turns drafting from worst to first, and you wouldn't need to make a pick at all. Anyone picked has to be kept through the keeper deadline. Thoughts?

Saw this jokingly referred to in champs, and was wondering what you all thought: a rule five draft. Hear me out! I think it could be a good fix for the continued "problem" of owners loading up heading into the offseason and could provide some fun action.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I am planning on skipping allocations and then quitting this league in late March.

Hey guys, I'll 100% allocate before the deadline.
-
I've reached out to a few of them directly, and I'm continuing to do so. All of them I either know personally or they're active on Slack.
-
Are the final five teams going to make their allocations?
-
Bah, I used to post things in iframes here, but apparently Niv has nixed that. Anyway, feel free to check that out, I pulled in the Surplus Calculator's end of year values for a quick sanity check on allocations.

Trying this again...

Hey everyone, welcome sacbillsfan, who is taking over Marc's team.

Adios Marc! It'll be weird not having you here, but not like we aren't in plenty of leagues together, heh.
