So to replace him I have to reverse the original DL move, wait a week, then DL Chamberlain again? If so, fine, but then I'd like to propose a rule change that allows a DL replacement 'swap' the same week if an original DL replacement goes on the DL. The DL'd DL replacement would not be retained. This is fair since the reason for the swap is an injury; otherwise this is a disadvantage compared with others doing DL replacements. Mags > Yes, you have to first reverse the original move and then wait a week. Its been that > way since we instituted the DL rule. > > There were/are several reasons for that rule .. and i've explained them many times. > Mostly it just makes things simpler to keep track of. But I guess we could change it. > > I'm thinking of making a lot of whole scale changes so as to make better use of > Sportslines capabilities and less work for hans and myself. Ok, then count this as my request to reverse the Chamberlain-Sanchez move. I'll go along with using Sportsline more. Also, a comment: With all of the DL moves and such, I've had 40-45 players on my roster at various times. It has diluted the sense of team 'ownership' and made it a lot less interesting in terms of tracking how my original draft selections turned out. I think I'd prefer a 'pool' of reserves the way we did in rotohoops, but I doubt others would agree. It has been an interesting race.

Bedard is a Schmuck, with a capital S. And, as if that weren't enuff, my team is in a RBI drought. Woe is me, my ass. I'm pissed. Only got one move, unless I wanna activate Longoria, which wood be stoopid. Like voting for Obama. Or acceding to eubonics.....
