Last I heard he was with a minor league affiliate in Arizona. Anyways, good dude, and very good fantasy player.

Let's see if we can get one of our bb savvy board members/brothers or sisters to join us.

Sure.  If you have 2 who want to join, why not.  ESPN has 12 team Leagues.  10 to 12 is no big deal.  Plus you never know when one of our 10 will stop playing.  Even me, I'm 70, and I plan on playing this year, but most people my age that I knew are dead. Younger people go to college or get jobs and drop out, and older people get sick or die, and so League Members change.  So if you have 2 that want to join, that is a good thing, and the day may come soon you will need them to make a 10 team league.   Again, people for various reasons have to leave the Fantasy League, so brining in 2 that want to join makes sense Now and in The Future.  We have had members, good members, who simply had to say they no longer had the Time for this.  Adding 2 new members who want to join actually makes sense.  

There are enough Free Agents for a 12 team league.  You have 30 teams of batters, starting pitchers, relief pitchers.  This is not NFL where Free Agency has a shortage of Running Backs or Tight Ends who actually score points.  The Baseball Free Agent Pool is pretty large.  Plus, 12 team might make people think twice about swapping out players every other day.  If you have a good player, you might think twice about dumping him in free agency and trying to reclaim him a few days later, such as loading up on Sunday Pitchers.  12 teams might make us think twice about who we move in and out of our rosters. To me, that makes The League more competition and better.  Plus you say these are good Fantasy Players, and that will make the League tougher and better.  

I'm all for it.  Some of the top teams every year could use a challenge.  I see adding 2 new good teams as a Good Thing.  Plus, again, at some point, some of the 10 now will have to quit.  For some it is leaving school and joining the work force.  For a 70 year old like me, I have no guarantee how much longer I will live. For example my Paid In Full Funeral Home and Cemetery Paperwork Bag hangs in clear site for whoever might find me Dead, to be placed next to my wife already dead.  Some others lose access to Internet.  So if you have 2 good players ready and willing to join, I see that as a Good Thing.
