What it comes down to---you can't be realistic with a 24 or 25 man roster and salary drop penalties also---most teams use 40 to 50 guys a season now--Atlanta used 48 players last season, at least 35 of them for longer stretches.
Salary penalties are a necessity to keep drop adds from happening nightly, and that still happens with Daily leagues.
When I started on-line play I was a little shocked at the usage rules--100PA guys going all season, but I think that's probably the best compromise there too--at least they price the guys more or less accordingly.
If they want to change rules to modernize -- thats OK, everybody plays by the same rules, (only thing I whined about was it affected leagues that were running mid-season)
But if you want to moderize the Strat game--in Pitching usage especially, I don't know how to do it without a larger roster--say 30 with 25 active. Also if they want to modernize pitching usage--they need to address overusage of 100PA batters also if they want to be fair about it.
