In 2019, we will implement new rules to ensure everyone is making a good-faith effort to field a competitive team. This will give everyone enough time to make the necessary changes to their rosters. Those who do not comply, will forfeit draft picks.
New Rules: 1. All active spots on your major league roster must be filled with active major leaguer players. - If you have multiple players on the DL and not enough DL spots for them, they must be dropped or placed on your bench. No player on the DL shall occupy an active roster spot. - No consideration will be given to whether or not you believe a player will be active soon. Either he is, or he isn’t.
2. Bench spots can be used for prospects but only if your team has all active spots filled with active players. - This will be open to players at all levels. All or none as D.O.G said.
Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Thought originally you (or someone else) the rostered guys could be in AA-Ball or above. We've have worked pretty diligently to ensure all our bench guys were at least gonna be in accord by opening bell 2019.
You can't build a team without specs. No sense in rostering old players with any hope of building a competitive team. The top team will forever stay the top teams unless bottom-feeders are allowed to re-build sensibly.

Jake Robson (AAA), Nathaniel Lowe (AA), Nick Senzel (AAA), Forrest Whitley (AA), Michael Kopech (AAA), Colin Poche (AAA), Zac Houston (AAA) and Josh James (AAA) are all either in AAA-Ball or at least figure to be in the majors relatively soon (Kopech and Lowe are very highly rated, fast movers). Enyel de los Santos (AAA) and Luiz Gohara (AAA) are up and down pretty regularly, between AAA-Ball to the majors.
If we can't stash top-draw specs in a serious attempt to build a contender, we might as well cash in our chips now.

We think we have been very aggressive in acquiring talented young players and always with the objective of building a competitive team. All our specs are first-rate and probably in the majors soon. If we can't approach a re-build in this manner, the top teams here will always have the edge. There is no other way to slurp around, filling our MLB roster with junk, old guys and cast-offs. We wasted a lot of time screwing around here. We were never tanking; we play all our MLB players. We were always building, accumulating top talent. Sorry we got involved here. Without salary cap limitations, the top teams will never weaken enough to allow bottom teams to strengthen enough to compete. It will be a constant free ride merry-go-round for the top four or so teams. We could wait until later this season, or next year, to see if our AAA-Ballers reach the majors soon enough for you, but it's pretty clearly a waste of time. You don't want quality owners in this league; you want goofballs who run crappy players out there and wait for the draft to improve one player at a time, not an aggressive contender-builder.
Like Yoenis Cespedes' heels, this league has calcified.

Cigar is a bit crazy. 22 minor league spots and 11 bench spots isnt enough to stash enough minor leaguers? If he can't rebuild with 33 spots for minor leaguers then this is not the right league for him.

It’s a pretty true and reliable strategy to roster players who have value regardless of age. If they are older and don’t fit into your plans then you trade them for assets that are valuable to you. Calling up all your high level MiLBers just to make a constant stream of rookie ball players seems like the least efficient way possible to accrue tangible talent. Why would you waste that many MLB roster spots just to add a bunch of 17 or 18 year old kids to your MiLB roster who will be lucky if they have a single MLB at bat in 5 years?
