The change that Mark has proposed is one that is consistent with  "official" 
rotisserie rules.  The rationale is that with one fewer team,  there are 23 
fewer players to be drafted.  By adding one pitcher and one  hitter to each 
team, you "suck up" 20 of those 23 on active rosters.  The  intention is merely to 
try to keep a consistent amount of depth in the league  and lessen the amount 
of "starter-worthy" talent on the reserve rosters.   Mark didn't mention that 
along with adding 2 player slots, the auction budget  would be increased by 
$20.
 
I don't think we'd have to waste too much time worrying about all of the  
rules that might arguable be affected by this change, like innings pitched and  
minimum at bats, but I could be persuaded.  I think all that we'd need to  
change are the salary cap and salary  floor.



I'd be inclined to make this adjustment and not mess with any of the  innings 
or at-bat rules.  They almost never come into play  anyway.  It will keep the 
prices and the talent pool in a more normal  range.
 
Mark
