The Calm Before The Storm

Well, this is why people think we're crazy.

After a busy day at work, I came home to approximately 28 emails from fellow league owners. We're debating rules changes for the upcoming season.

The first is a no-brainer, we're probably going to increase our entry fee for the first time in 15 years or so.

The second is a proposal to remove our 5th OF slot and turn it into a third utility position. I like this as well. If you read below, you'll see just how deep our keeper league is.

Many times, with 5 OF spots to fill, there aren't actually enough outfielders in the AL to fill our rosters once injuries hitting. Plus, I like the idea of having an extra utility spot to strategize with.

The third proposal is the one we're haggling over.

Currently, it takes 3 owners in our league to protest a trade. There's a proposal to up that to 5 owners (which would be half the owners not involved in the deal.)

There's a counter-proposal to LOWER it to 1 owner.

And, there's a third idea floating about to set up a committee and alternates to judge EVERY trade and pass judgement.

And if you're wondering, we do argue about trades. A lot.

Anyone out there care to elaborate on how you folks avoid dump trades?
