I haven't seen a problem with young players getting trapped in the reserves, but then again, the league's still very new. The top prospects seem to be getting chances to play quickly enough; guys like "Electric Billy" Patrick, Maximo Chavez, and Paul O'Connor are already FLL regulars. I'm not sure what's happening to the guys who aren't quite that good, however.

I wonder if adding some minor leagues would make the league more fun to follow, without bogging it down? Would you readers like to see a developmental league or two added?

Thanks again for the comments!
Hey, Big Six. Long time reader, first time poster here. The FLL seems to be up to your usual high-quality standards.

I assume you're running the league in OOTP 9. If you convert to 10, you can limit the size of the reserve rosters, which might help with the stockpiling of talent on the reserve squads.

Looking forward to seeing how the '08 season plays out!
