If we eliminate mid-week moves, this would allow teams to reserve injured players or activate healthy ones more quickly than a once-a-week transaction date would. We'd still miss out on stats from time to time, but hopefully we could reduce that by allowing roster moves more frequently. Obviously, it would also allow teams to play the match-ups to some degree, but wouldn't allow the insanity of free daily moves.
We'll need to give some thought on whether to allow moves on 2 or 3 days each week, and which days would be most appropriate - Mondays and Thursdays (common off-days)? Tuesdays and Fridays (days on which series typically start)? Two weekdays and a weekend day? etc.
FAAB would remain a once-a-week thing. As indicated in the “Use Sportsline FAAB” thread, one option would be to have one day where we do ONLY FAAB. Then we could do active/reserve moves the next day so everyone would know which players they did or didn't get and would be able to make their resulting active/reserve moves accordingly.

I would like to consider allowing the "insanity" of daily moves. Not sure that is such a bad thing. But I can live with whatever the majority agrees to.

Going with daily transactions would require setting ceilings for IP and GP/position IMO. It drives me bats that a winning strategy isn't to do research and draft well but to be the first person to get to the scheduled-to-pitch search/sort and claim those players every morning. While I appreciate that kind of game/strategy, it's not the game I want to play necessarily.
I think a twice weekly or twice weekly owner-initiated roster-move-only transactions with a weekly FA+transactions handled by the secretary plan is an acceptable compromise. I always lose the first day on the DL or first day back stats because I seem to own players who play on teams that wait until the very last moment to report any transaction.

I think this would be a great changel. It also would add some tactical subtleties too. It'll be easier to avoid having your pitcher start at Coors or Chase Field while still keeping him active on a road trip to Petco or Dolphin Stadium. Mahalo

I like two transactions days a week. Maybe three. Seven is just too much, and I say that as someone who obsessively spends every day of the season looking at ways to improve my team.
As for Nick's ceiling comments, I wonder if there is anyway to set a rule (through Sportsline) that if you activate or deactivate a player, that player has to stay in that position for five days (or whatever). This would avoid just starting and reserving starting pitchers or totally micromanaging your team.
I've had a long week, so my brain may not be working well. If that's a stupid idea or makes no sense, I blame that brain.

Nice idea, Kenn, but I'm pretty sure Sportsline doesn't have the capability to set up a rule like that. I think if we limit the transactions to 2-3 times a week, we can avoid excessive roster shuffling/micromanaging. |
