See Ted's post.
But more importantly, cons are irrelevant if there are no pros, which there aren't.
You basically said so yourself. You said you did it because MLB did it, which is fine. But you didn't actually ever mention any pros for doing it.
I'd like to stay as close to MLB as we can. This is an easy one and really doesn't have any advantages or disadvantages to pass.

Are you against our current injury setting?

It does, see Ted's post. That's a real con to doing this.
If we had injuries like real life MLB, it would make sense and that would be the pro. But we don't, so there really isn't a pro to doing it, but there is a con.

I seen Ted's post. And I don't see the correlation there. Weak teams are weak because they trade horribly and draft horribly. Why punish the teams that do both well? And how many teams really have that 1 extra guy that should be in the MLB that is getting sent down to AAA to save the Arb clock from starting, maybe 4 or 5 tops?

As far as the injury piece, it's been debated and decided on by the majority. If we set the injury setting to more like MLB the teams Ted is talking about has the advantage because they are deep teams.

You didn't answer the question, good talks!
You've also made 2 more posts and neither have given a pro to this 26 man roster rule.

Don't need to give a pro. I'm not debating this with you, I don't have the patience to debate with you over something stupid like this. I posted this to be in line with MLB.
Why punish teams who have built their teams up just so the teams who go auto from the 1st round in a draft have a chance at getting a guy in the waiver wire due to their own inept ability of managing a team? Billy shouldn't be punished for building the team he has by having to give up a guy potentially.
And what kind of guys are going on the waiver wire anyways? They are usually no better than 45 potential guys unless someone is trying to dump salary

Saying you're not debating with me does not mean you're not debating with me. You're pretty clearly debating with me.

You did not even post this, this is KDog's topic. George is a bit off today, you good?

Like I said, you still haven't given any pros, just that MLB did it, so should we. That's not a pro. Saying MLB did it does not give any support or reason why it would be good for our league to do it.

I posted this in last seasons thread regarding this. Kdog beat me to posting the actual poll, I was waiting till winter meeting time in game (usually reminds me of the time to post polls).
As far as a pro, I don't need to give one. The con to not doing this is punishing teams that know how to build a team.

Some people will never learn not to get sucked into the Shel debate vortex.
George is a goner.

I was hoping I'd take that stance and stop procrastinating. Wanted to go out and try to secure another contract or two before the winter comes up, but I am just hanging out "debating" with shel (fucker is good at sucking you in) and finishing laundry

Debating that you aren’t debating is funny, especially when George clearly stated he has no pros just that it lines up with the MLB. Tried so hard to make that clear yet shel gets him sucked in

I just noticed that George quoted a post of mine on page 1 and replied. Then later he quoted the same exact post of mine and replied again.
This is an impressive feat for a non-debater.
George secretly likes the debate just as much as me, he just doesn't want to admit it. I see you George, I see you!!!

See Ted's post.
But more importantly, cons are irrelevant if there are no pros, which there aren't.
You basically said so yourself. You said you did it because MLB did it, which is fine. But you didn't actually ever mention any pros for doing it.
Don’t like it myself also the 28 man in the September.
