"benches" - sigh.
back in my day, no one put on a seat belt or a bicycle helmet - and if you own a pitcher, he pitches for you every time until you get rid of him (and you are limited in how often you can do that). if he is borderline and headed to Coors Field - well, do you feel lucky?

"You can shuttle pitchers or hitters in and out of your line-up."
"This is why I like having those bumpers in what used to be called gutters in bowling - you can make a terrible throw and still knock down some pins!"
"I love that everyone gets a participation trophy - even if their team sucks!"
God forbid that you might have to own a player and receive his stats, come what may. The Rotisserie League founders would be rolling over in their graves, if they were dead. A 'bench' is in fundamental opposition to the basic tenets of the game.

We actually dialed it down further this year.
we have always been a "pounce" league - if your player hit the DL, you had an opening that maybe no one else had.
if the player was good, it sucked, but at least if someone (not in our extensive farm system) came up or an MLB guy suddenly got an expanded role, you could grab him.
now this year we are trying the onroto bidmeister option.
so for example, the guy who has Trea Turner has no other SS eligibles. in our deep league, there are only 3 unowned options.
last year, he could have just immediately grabbed one if he liked.
this year, he doesn't even get that consolation - someone more favored than him in the pecking order might take that bum away.
funny thing is that literally half the owners in this league are retired, and only two have kids who aren't adults. we never wanted daily transax, but I didn't expect to end even the 'pounce' option, effective the next weekly period. but we're trying it.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

well, we can make dozens of moves if a lot of our guys get hurt or demoted.
we just can't 'stream' players willy-nilly all season.
point is that your auction roster gets to look at least a little like your final roster in October.
a bunch of our owners who play in other leagues, meanwhile, got us to switch to onroto's Bidmeister this year. so far it is hated.
old way: I own Dickerson, he goes to the DL about 6 hours after our weekly moves, but I can check the available players list. hmm, JB Shuck may get some of the new PT - but he shucks. Pirates bring up the kid Martin - a better play? what's a Zagunis and why is he hitting .500 for the Cubs? Howie Kendrick, a favorite of mine but how often will he play?
so lots of choices.
with Bidmeister? no reason to even bother looking at the list of available players for 6 days.
and come Thursday morning, I'll be 7th in the pecking order - so anyone who is hitting this week will be snatched away.
the limitation of six 'free' moves means owners will start getting stingy by midseason, which helps the teams replacing an injured player. but for now, it just sucks.
anyone else use Bidmeister? the selling point was supposed to be, "this way if a hot minor leaguer comes up or there is a newly-minted closer, he doesn't just go to a team 'lucky' enough to have an opening."
I guess. oddly enough, literally half the owners in this league are retired and only one has a kid who is still a minor. plus our farmhand systems hold up to 8 players, so no one in a top 70 or so on a prospect list is unowned.
I think come October it will be, "Bidmeister, we hardly knew ye!"finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Bidmeister sounds terrible. An owner still has to be "lucky" to be the team with the highest priority that week, in order to get the hot minor leaguer or AL traded player. FAAB gives everyone an equal shot, dependent on how high they want to go now vs how much they want to save to pursue a future player (or players)2021 Auction Anatomy

we just have FAAB for arrivals from AL.
ultimately it comes down to how important leagues want to make the auctions.
the Rotisserie founders wanted them to be paramount - only 3 waiver moves per year, and you could only claim some other owner's discards, for example. we subscribe to the original philosophy, basically, but loosened the screws a tad.
but there's more than one way to skin a cat - or so I am toldfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
