I say we vote now. Or, just add one extra DL spot now and see how it plays out later this year. I see some teams do have half the team on DL.

This thread is pretty long and tbh I didn't read all the posts, but I think we absolutely should increase the number of DL slots. MLB has changed and teams a definitively using it more which in our game more players will go the DL and cause a roster crunch where we have to seriously consider dropping a valuable player. I would like to see it bumped up 2 DL slots but I'd be ok with just 1.

If indeed we increase in the future, five is too many. The max should be four but I like the hard choices. I would prefer to remain at three.

From Eno's chat today:
Eno Sarris Just found that DL usage is up 50%, and have added 50% more DL slots in two of my leagues, with unanimous votes in approval.

When do we want to vote and when will it go into effect?

No change will be made until next year, unless there is an overwhelming amount of support for a change in-season - which would be the All-Star break I guess.
As for voting, I was going to say the All-Star break, when things are quiet around here.

That sounds like a good plan to me.

I agree we should never change rules mid season. People would vote dependent on how their current DL situation looks instead of if they agree with the rule change.

I'm usually against in season changes, but this is a super extreme situation, up 50% is significant and game changing. I personally think we should seriously consider making the change for DL slots this year.

I'm swaying on the side of additional DL spots is needed now. This isn't looking like a trend. Like shifts, it seems here to stay unfortunately.

A lot of teams are putting starting pitchers on the DL if they have to skip one start. Keep that in mind

We really dropped the ball with not implementing this during the offseason.

We added numerous roster spots which has the same effect.

I'd vote for up to 6 spots, it's not often someone gets above that number for long periods of time.
