Hey Guys,
I am just checking in to see what the feeling is on IL spots? I have 5 guys on IL, but there are only 4 slots available. Of course I know that I can drop guys, but I am checking in to see if it makes sense to add more?
With Covid, and teams handling pitchers with kid gloves (this season especially), I believe more spots should be added. But I know I am just one owner, so that is why I am asking the rest of you what you think?

I think if we were going to change it should have been prior to the season.

It would have had to be discussed in off season as Bryce mentioned. I personally would be opposed to adding more slots. Yeah it sucks when you have a ton of guys on IL/COVID but it’s part of the game too. Makes it interesting to see players dropped that would otherwise be just stashed on a bench. The free agent pool is so weak as it is, I would have a hard time voting for anything that further eliminated potential players from the pool. That said, it can always be brought up next offseason and taken under consideration/put to a vote if enough are for it.

Just wondering now what the thoughts are from the group on this topic? I can see why people wouldn't want more slots in a redraft league, but in a dynasty league I feel like someone shouldn't have to cut someone due to too many injuries/covid cases on their roster during the season...

I am ok with adding an IL spot or two, also ok with having just 4 as we currently have. I got burned by the IL a few times last season but also benefited when others were burdened and I was healthy. Honestly there wasn’t much free agent talent to be had but dropping players I would rather have held just to get some extra counting stats did hurt some. If enough agree we can take a poll and determine a better number of slots. I am at work and can’t make the poll right now but anyone can make it if they so desire.

I for sure ran into injury problems with only four spots this season so I am okay with more or just leaving it because ultimately it’s fair since everyone has the same spots and injuries are unpredictable. I would be interested in being allowed to keep for example 2 IL spots throughout the off-season as a way to help keep guys that are clearly dealing with a long term injury with a surgery (Strasburg, Glasnow, Acuna, etc…) That could help the off-season roster crunch but again okay if not and it stays the same.
