Also Mariners ... 49 players with 8 draftees.

Note ... teams short of draftees can only add "15" players until all teams can add more "16" players.

Thanks Jim. Was looking on my phone, so figured I'd miss something.

My bad guys. Fixed. However suggest that next year since we have no more 6th rounders that guys in my spot (conforming roster but non conforming draft roster) should have to fix it once we can sign 16 guys, i don't mind holding Bolt but I'm probably going to cut him again for a 16 anyway once that window opens

What was your roster before cuts? Conforming roster and non-conforming draft roster doesn't seem possible to me.

It's possible because the 14 guys were still sitting on my draft roster (I miscounted and thought I'd have 10 15/16 guys).

Might be the first year that I'm not on that list.

I wouldn't call that a conforming roster, you'd have 41 non-draftees. The timing for when the 14- players become non-draftees is tricky, I don't switch them over until after the draft because if I did it earlier you'd have to drop ~5 immediately in order to sign anyone else.

I understand why, but in Jake's defense I also miscounted hence why I ended up dropping Alex Call after drafting him.. It happens.

The reason I mention it is that if you go into (for example) the 2016 draft with fewer 15- players than you have picks and there's a few days that pass between the end of the draft and the waiver date you're forced to make cuts and hold empty roster spots that could have gone to draft picks in past years. Minor point and not a huge deal at all just a thought.

I don't really agree. It's not 50 players total, it's 40 players and 10 players from the last 2 drafts. Just because you don't have 10 players from the last 2 drafts doesn't mean you should be able to keep more than 40 other players.

Yankees roster is valid.

Isn't it time to bring up the discussion about removing the draft roster all together...

It's been brought up many times, and shot down.

And while we're at it we'd also like to add 5 roster spots
