I would be curious, Robert, seems like teams who made playoffs are voting against raising it to 8 saying it would not help the teams not making playoffs
WHILE the teams like me know otherwise who did not make playoffs. I suggest listening to the teams that do not make playoffs on whether or not 8 NCRs would help a non playoff team. Who can not field team with 33 players to cover usage all season? Teams that are under AB and IP really have no excuse considering all the playing time available from players left in draft. The amount of NCRs available at 8 make no difference. Usage problems are separate issues. I could assemble a team each year made up of 33 players left in draft after completed that could meet our usage requirements for season. Blaming NCRs will not solve the problem of overusage. It is a DRAFTING problem. Drafting a catcher with 41 ABs when you need one with 200 ABs who is available is the problem. I would like to address usage problems as well but veiling it as an NCR problem is wrong way to look at it. There are SIMPLE draft rules in other leagues that could solve problem in our league, such as all usage required must be taken in draft by end of 8th round. Anyway, I would say nothing except I saw a trend of playoff teams almost all going against an increase in NCRs. Also, I almost have ALL my player usage covered with my roster already of 25 players like major leagues do. I only need to draft 3 relievers somewhere and I can draft 9 other guys no matter how much playing time they have based on future potential. Research has shown that it takes 4 years average for a team to rebuild and be competitive in a healthy league our size. I am suspicious of leagues that have same people in playoffs or first place for 10 years straight. It does not mean something is wrong, after all there are superior players. But all other leagues I know and have played in do not have dynasties. Do the rules in this league favor playoff teams that are making decisions for non playoff teams on how to rebuild? Anyway, either way, I get youth from NCRs or low innings and AB guys because I take the time to make SURE I have playing time covered BEFORE the draft. I just find usage problems interesting. The rules our league have for usage are MINIMUM levels, not RECOMMENDED levels. I live to exceed those limits. What needs to be increased is either the minimum levels of usage or allowing players to be used at 110% of MLB. Anyway, too much talk, I just been working so hard and will finally have a day off Monday to relax and pick up pieces for 2012. We have a water leak and the guy can't come to fix it till Monday. It is a trickle but nothing we can do. Whatever the NCR limits are works for me. If I was commish (HERE COMES REASON I SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANY DECISION MAKING RESPONSIBILITIES) After draft I would calculate usage and if a team did NOT have enough usage I would require them to DROP an NCR and replace him with a carded guy who gives him enough usage. If people still overuse after starting the season with required usage on their roster which must be maintained after trades then usage rule is too LOW! This is not rocket science or string theory. Even Penny could figure this out. thanks ray BKN -----Original Message----- From: suelou22 <[email protected]> To: nombl <[email protected]> Cc: john arcieri <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Dec 31, 2011 9:53 am Subject: Re: NCR input his is the main reason we should not increase the NC players..we need to draft ore players with IP or ABs to get through the season in respectability.....Lou---- ohn arcieri <[email protected]> wrote: My inputis it should go up to 6 NCR since we have 41 man roster. Also have ou thought about a throw back draft. A throw back draft is the next day after he draft you are allowed to drop 1 player and pick up 1 player that wasn't rafted. This gives teams that are under ABs or IPs to pick up a player they eed for usage. It would be a e-mail draft first e-mail sent gets that player. t seems like every year a few teams have not enough ABs and IPs.
