This is my 1st 30-team league to run and to be in so maybe I'm just panicking here but 5 rounds seems like a lot and I really doubt very many teams stay too active through the entire draft. 5 rounds is 150 players. It's a total guessing game really so my question is should we move this down to 3 rounds or even 2 rounds in the future or do you guess who have been in more 30-team leagues think 5 is a good number? I'm just seeing a lot of people posting already that they are looking to dump their picks already and stuff so don't see a point of having a 5 round draft in only 2 or 3 teams actually care after round 2 or 3 anyways.
So if we did vote to lower it to 3 rounds and your a team who has traded for future draft picks in rounds 4 or 5, then you would get a comp pick at the end of round 3.
Just throwing this idea out there to see how much interest everyone has in this draft anyways.

5 is good, but you're going to have to ease up on the MILB spots. The guys we are drafting are several years away from even the high minors, which is when you really find out what you have. Team's farms will start to build up quickly. Personally I don't see the point of limiting MILB spots at all. Not as many fail as people think, and in a league like this anyone who can carve out an MLB role is useful. Normal prospects that are considered to have failed for fantasy purposes just means they didn't become superstars. Guys who fail here are the ones who don't contribute in any role at all. There's a lot fewer of those, which makes the extra MILB slots more necessary than in a 12-16 team league. Most of my 30 team leagues either have no cap, or cap at 60-70.

Well we already expanding from 20 to 25. Next year we will look at expanding again. Might be possible that we expand Minor League rosters and decrease the 40-man or active rosters. I just think teams have 40 MLB players and 60-80 minor league players takes some of the in-season strategy out of things. If every team has that many players then there would be absolutely no free agent signings during the season.
My original reason to restrict the amount of minor leaguers u can have and allowing a 40-man roster was so teams had to actually make decisions about players and just not hoard as many players as possible. For example you fill up your 25-man minor league roster but you want to draft or trade or sign another guy. Well you then have to decide to drop someone or if you don't want to drop someone then promote a guy to your 40-man roster and start their clock early. To me, there's a lot more strategy there then just having 80 specs sitting on your minor league roster and just throwing more numbers at it then everyone else. So this league will always have a limit on specs you can have. Whether it's 25 or 30 or 40, that hasn't been figured out yet but it will never be unlimited as long as I'm commish.
Just my 2 cents.

IMO all that does is punish the owners that are good at identifying minor leaguers that can contribute.

Barely half the league voted but looks like we will stay with 5 rounds.
