| Message | I too am in favour of the changes. I would like to see a more competitive pool. I think a web cam is the most likely to have derksen apart of the pool. I here scipe is the best way and it is real time. There you go don, I agree with the others but am sympathetic to the needs of Derksen. Anyone interested in Howard and the last year of his contract let me know. I am looking to deal. Ellsbury could be up for grabs too if anyone is interested. |

| Message | I am all for the rule changes as well. I am in complete agreement with Tim. I hated my team last year, but I still looked at the boxscores every single day. Don you should take a look at the other pools out there, they are making hundreds of moves per year. Like daily roster moves to bench your starter when he's going to pitch at Coors field, these are not the moves being discussed here....let's be reasonable and forward thinking on this. I like the 12 moves over the whole year. |

| Message | as i said.. i'm all for incremental change. i didn't start winning pools until ulb changed so i'd be an ass to say they haven't been good. doubling the bench moves seems a pretty big step to me. |

| Message | settle down, grandpa.. we haven't had a rule change in ULB for years, now we're merely discussing it.. the first and last place team in the pool last year checked boxscores daily, so i don't think it's a 24/7 issue.. two extra clicks in yahoo and it'll tell you the best free agent pitcher and batter in the pool.. there are changes we can make to give GMs more control over their teams.. the real time pick is just a thought, but i think it deserves a look. |

| Message | Its really not that rediculous. It's not like I'm suggesting daily roster moves, or year long free agent pickups, although those are pretty much standard in leagues nowadays. That would actually require paying a lot of attention to baseball to remain competitive, and I understand some of us don't want that. What I'm suggesting doesn't impact things that much, but gives teams a lot more roster flexibility. I have never understood why some GM's remain so adverse to change when every change we have actually made has been a very good decision. Right now we have owners not giving a crap once they find out they are out of the race by May because there is pretty much nothing they can do to change it. ULB is based way too much on luck at the auction, and would be a whole lot more fun if there was even just a bit more involvement throughout the season, but hey maybe its just me who thinks this. |

| Message | can we please be reasonable with the changes? this is getting bloody ridiculous. you think these are measures to make the pool more competitive but the absolute opposite is true. Half of us simply do not have the time to to be on 24/7 ulb patrol for 6 months of the year. we can go play with espn or yahoo if we want to devote our whole life to pool. I'm fine with making step by step adjustments but geesh, do we have to do it all at once? i'd rather see us devote some energy to thinking how we can use the technology available to allow derksen to participate. |

| Message | I am up for adding a real time pick as well. We need to limit the effect injuries have on the standings because most of them are completely unpredictable and in a setup like ours you have no chance to come back if you get screwed over every time you buy Don's guys at the auction. I'm voting for keeping mid season the way it is, one real time pick, and 12 bench moves, as well as allowing bench moves all the way until the end of the year. |

| Message | what were some of the rule change suggestions again? keep the 6 round slim draft but bump up the moves to 10 or 12? crazy thought: add a real time pick during the year (first come first serve).. either add it or substitute it for the 2nd round of midseason. any issues with april 4/5/6 that anyone can see yet?  |
