<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to propose a change to the constitution, the next time we consider things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposal: Teams shall be able to have XX players who are not carded for the current season on their roster without them counting against the roster limit<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rationale: As injuries, especially for pitchers, seem to becoming more prevalent, teams can get stuck in an awkward situation of having injured players they want to keep but being crunched for roster spots. A team unfortunate to have 4
UC injuries, will be limited to a “minor league” roster of just 6 players, which make having sufficient depth to cover for in-season injuries and usage exceedingly difficult. In MLB, teams have the 60 day IL available which removes them from the teams 40-man
roster temporarily, as well as having much more extensive minor league system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To avoid abuse, I’d say that XX should probably be either two or three, but I’d love to hear people’s thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
