[USML Announce] USML - Draft Day 2011 and related information

[Jeffrey Winick]

Mark,

In other leagues and, if I recall correctly, in this league as well, 
when the number of teams has been reduced, we have dealt with the 
resulting deeper pool of talent by increasing the number of roster 
positions - i.e. you add a 2nd utility slot and you add a 10th pitching 
slot.  That would take an additional 10 pitchers/10 hitters out of the 
pool (roughly the same as the number that would have been drafted by 
the 11th team).  I would definitely support that change.

I would not support an increase in the number of keepers as the 
reduction in the total number of teams in the league has no logical 
relationship to the quantity of keepers.

The King

Is that what we did back in 2002?

Let's stick with ten, then, and increase allowable keepers to ten plus
three rookies.
