Roster Size

Like clockwork, Jag has brought it up to me that he either would like to see rosters expanded to 55, and/or have the draft classes done away with.

I'm amazingly indifferent to all of this. I like the rosters the way they are now, since they lead to sometimes difficult cuts/decisions. Plus it increases the available talent for the teams that desperately need to rebuild.

We're fine as is. 40 man roster and then prospects. Just like MLB, gotta make hard decisions. Tough shit Jag

We have addressed this previously and my opinion hasn't changed. It is good the way it is because larger sizes and eliminating draft classifications would lead to hoarding players, and a decrease of usable players in the FA pool for teams to grab in the event of injuries.

I agree 100% ...

Jagger had his chance in a league with 225-man rosters but couldn't accept their rules either. I'm personally not opposed to his suggestions, but the league has spoken on this repeatedly as mentioned above.

Yeah, I have no desire to see rosters expanded currently, there's already very few decent free agents and almost all of the young internationals are on rosters. 150 more players taken off the market would be crazy.
