What needs to improve is that we stop making "improvements".
We need to go back to a 30 team league, but now we can't because we split up all the players among the 20 teams...

I think if we can find 2-4 active owners for next year(good luck), we can have an expansion draft. Every team can protect a certain number of players and the rest are available to draft by the new teams.
How are the prospects from the contracted teams going to be split up? Can I bid on them right now using my FAAB? Should we wait until they get 150 ABs or 50 IPs?

Tigers still here, checking almost daily. Hopefully the board picks up around the trade deadline, only a few short weeks away. Will be looking to make improvements, I need hitting and speed, let me know what you got.

agree completely with the D'backs that ideally, we would have a 30-team league.
unfortunately, it wasn't going to happen. not sure how many 30-teamers are out there, but hell, it is tough enough to get a commish or two or who can keep focused and involved all year, let alone 30, 20, or even 12 teams....
I think it is just the nature of the fantasy baseball beast ...
LAD fell off after a couple years. life work and other interests have torn me away for too long (see my team performance for confirmation!).
I don't think we can afford any more major changes, but it is never a good idea to stop looking for ways to improve. doesn't mean anything needs to change. and it doesn't mean that everybody (30, 20, or 12 gms) will be happy about it.
I am ready to start trading people just for the sake of doing something and kicking some life back into the discussion board.

I saw this and wasn't sure if it was role call, but I'm checking in now. I've been wanting to make trades for awhile, but hardly anybody seems to respond to PMs (maybe no one likes me but who knows)
Phils, I'd be willing to work on a trade if you think it would get things moving.
