I think this idea could add a new element of excitement and reward owners who put in te extra work throughout the year.
1) Current set up stays the same. You draft/Keep 5 prospects having to whittle that down to 3 each year before the draft.
2) At the draft you pick a total of 5 prospects, again the same as before.
Heere is the rule change
Throughout the year, you can drop anyone on your prospect list, and add any new player.
The player you drop goes into the FA pool and likewise anyone can grab the player you drop.
This would go on throughout the regular season at which time rosters would be frozen the day after the last regular season game until the draft the following season.
You would have some managers scouting all year making great pick ups. You would have some managers dropping a player who winds up being someone who should have been kept.
Can we have a debate and vote on this idea please?

while i like the idea, who's going to monitor the difference between a prospect you drop from your prospect roster, and a player you drop from your regular roster down to your prospect roster because he's below the limit.
this sounds like a nightmare to keep track of.

Too many loopholes. I could constantly be rotating who is in those spots... and who the heck is gonna track it? and if you put a limit on it then you have to track the limits.
One option would be if you have a guy on your roster in the offseason who is under thresholds you could swap him in. But then that still leaves your control of these guys on Yahoo randomly having them in the system.
I think its more controlled and structured to have a deep pool of guys to pick from and letting the worst team get first crack at those guys like we have it. Not pulling the rug out from their pool of choices while they try to rebuild.

No. Simplify, don't complicate.

You don't have to track it.
You start a thread.
Whenever someone makes a change they post to the thread.
The only thing that would need to be updated is the front page of the commish note on Yahoo so no one takes a prospect that is on someones team.
How many times I year would this even happen? Not that often I wouldn't think.

I don't really understand this. It is exactly the same as now, the only difference is you can add a prospect through out the year, otherwise everything else is exactly the same.

Why would you do that? There would be no advantage. Plus remember as soon as you drop someone, anyone else in the league could pick him up, so you can't just assume you would be able to get them back.

Sounds good in theory but I just picked up George Springer. Anyone in the league who was paying attention could have done it, he is in the yahoo database. So the teams in last place should all be making moves like this now. This is what got me thinking about it.

It's really not complicated but that's 3 no's so I will drop the idea...
