I do not agree with some of these arguments - and I would hate to see a rule changed when it has been good for the league for a long time - changing limits as to what qualifies a player as NCR or uncarded would definitely change how managers can/could/should evaluate players(period). I think the NCR rule is fine as it stands and furthermore I believe the league rules have other areas that need to be reviewed and possibly changed before we adjust a good rule. And I am not saying this about my team as it stands today - I only have 4 NCRs on my current roster. I am saying this for the sake of the league as a whole. In a message dated 9/9/2011 11:37:32 P.M.

actually the term NCR is incorrect I should have said uncarded players. Since the game gives a card to everyone that plays at all the NCR is not what is effected but the league calls a card. As for hurting bad teams it would do just the reverse as since anyone under the new limits would count toward the limit of six (which is not the case now) thus keeps teams from draft players with 1 IP and calling that a card thus can still draft 6 uncarded players. As for making cuts more difficult good! As Don stated that his team was so bad that there were better players on the cut list than he kept on his roster and wanted/needed to draft more than the 3 he was allowed to draft in the I stink draft. Plus then teams making cuts must decide which he would rather have (NCR or in my case Johan Santana)! Again teams that current uncarded players and have less the the new limits then YES they would have to decide if they want to keep them or cut them for new one/s. This also helps the bad teams as they are more NCR for them to choose from and since they draft way before the good teams they have better chance of getting better NCR. We already have a limit on the uncarded player it is just being increased. You have seen Lou suggesting we increasing it even more and this is something I have been asked to do long before now I just have not remembered soon enough to change before now.

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.

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.
