I was thinking, with the amount of requests and suggestions to implement a so called "Farm team" scenario or bench squad. I often see your response to many saying use the DL as a free roster restriction space for this. I actually use that in one of my deep leagues and I love it.
Related to that, I wonder when you guys do get to adding a commish rules posting board that stays front in center, i could then implement a Farm team board rather than what some commishes use offsite in outside forums.
Back to my original Subject, This would co-exist perfectly with a commish power to lock a player, for instance i could lock Kris Bryant because he is on TeamAs Farm team and his Farm team is posted on this page, etc.
The reason for the option to lock a player would be more so to avoid the headache of new owners or those not paying attention to this rule (all the more reason for an expanded rules board) and adding these prospect players on to their active Flea teams.
This might not make alot of sense and I'm sure none of it will be remotely close to higher initiatives that you have. Its very particular and i realize that a power for a commish to lock players is quite the significant power, so a bad or weak commish could be costly. But when i thought of it, it sounded like a 2 birds with 1 stone more approach to this interest in Farm teams in baseball, obviously the more prospect driven prevalent fantasy sport. It would be a work around or convenient approach alot like your suggestions for creative use of DL options/restrictions. Thanks and keep up the great work.
who knows maybe there are way more complexities to having such an option of hard locking a player through commish powers. Im sure not as simple as I dreamed up.

This would be an awesome feature for dynasty leagues.. Any way this can be added?
