Instead of putting a minimum usage on NCRs - If changes are needed and league approves the changes as a whole, then I would suggest the league define or redefine NCR as (1) a player with no current card; or (2) a player that has never been carded. Then I would suggest the league change the maximum number a team can draft or maintain on a roster. For example I would say if we use the definition Never Been Carded - I would suggest we limit teams to 2 or 3 NCR picks a year and a maximum of 4 - 6 NCR players on a roster at anyone time. If we use the No Current Card definition - I would suggest we allow teams to draft a maximum of 4 NCRs a year and each team can carry no more 6 - 8 NCRs a year. However, changing the NCR Rule is a dangerous proposition. The NCR rule is what makes this league exciting - especially at draft time and to make changes would not only hurt the league in general but it would reduce the chance of a bad team could improve itself quickly --- because the manager would not be allowed to build as large a farm system. A change of minimum AB or IP would not only change the draft pool - it would also change each team's roster - make decisions on keepers/cut more difficult. Managers would have to change the way they evaluate players on their current roster based on their playing time. I know I am thrilled when my NCR's that are on my roster finally get the so called "cup of coffee", but under the potential new proposal they may not change their NCR eligibility. I would be opposed to minimum usage playing limits on NCRs, especially limits that are not agreed to by the league as a whole. In a message dated 9/9/2011 12:07:00 A.M.

The current rule for NOT being considered a NCR was/is played in 1 game or pitched 1/3 inn. However I have be asked for couple years now to up the limits and I think now is the time to do so. I havent decided on the exact # yet but wanted to advise now before trades and plans are made using the old rule. At the current time I am leaning toward 10 AB or IP but I have been asked to make it higher. I may but havent made up my mind on exact numbers. I am thinking maybe increase the limit slowly to see what effect if any on the draft. EX: if this allows for more NCR turning into players for the following year's draft then leave it but if still too many NCR players are be picked because the limit is too low then increase the number the follow year.
