       Good grief!  Where did January go?  Winter meetings are needed,
       IF there are any issues you need discussed.  Check the winter
       meetings board in the BBFL and repost here are email one of the
       Circle.
       I had one idea I'll throw out and see if anyone else likes it.
       If not, let it die.   If an owner loses a FA who eventually
       resigns with his original team, the owner can take him back at
       the cost of his top draft pick(s).   Example: this year I had
       Chris Davis and Iwakuma go FA and then resign with Baltimore and
       Seattle.  I could reclaim them by surrendering my #1 and #2
       draft picks.  Or just one of them for my #1.  It would increase
       the gambling portion.

       I would like to bring up guys like jurickson profar.  He has to
       be protected but hasnt playedin 2 years because of injury.  He
       is more than likely starting in minors and I would like to
       protect himthere.  It is a special circumstance and would have
       to be a unique siuation like this to be discussed

       I've wondered bout something similar to what buff mentions with
       profar.
       When a pitcher has tj (or other similar type stuff) and will
       have to miss at least 2 or 3 months of upcoming year, it really
       puts you in a bind to keep them and compete.  I thought might
       could augment rules where you could use a milb slot for a guy
       who you know will miss a preset amount of time in the coming
       year.  That way, Folks in contention won't feel like they have
       to trade away their favorite guys or be handicapped.
       Not sure how much time needs to be missed to be fair, but i'd
       say at least 2 to 3 months or it would be unfair advantage with
       extra keeper.  And would understand if wanted to put that line
       at 4 to 5 months missed of upcoming season.  But I think 3 would
       prolly be fair since generally guys coming back at midseason
       aren't gonna be their best anyway.

       For example I had to protect Zac Wheeler last year knowing he
       was out for the year

       I would also suggest looking at upping the innings/at bats for
       guys to remain as minor leaguers - too many guys have be thrown
       back or kept when they will spend most of the upcoming season in
       the minors. Maybe double it from the current numbers? Thoughts?

       I think doubling is a good idea... too many young guys like Trea
       turner etc are being forced to start int he minors for service
       time reasons...
       I am not a fan of an expanded "dl" slot... i think that will
       drastically reduce player turn over, and we probably want to
       promote turnover...

       I wonder if we could institute one DL slot to begin the season
       for guys with TJS or extended DL time, like a broken leg.  As
       long as we had a firm declaration from the MLB team, I think we
       could make it work.
       As far as minor leaguers are concerned, we've already come a
       long way from zero tolerance of just a few years ago.  Do we
       want to get into a situation where bottom half teams can't ever
       get a good player?  We need to continue owners to make tough
       decisions just like in the real MLB.  That's what we said when
       the BBFL was founded.

       I'd like to see one DL spot and extra roster spot at the
       beginning for season injuries.  I'm having a tough time deciding
       what to do with Lance Lynn - out for the season with TJS.
