Disclaimer 1: There obviously won't be any short notice major changes.

Disclaimer 2: Any substantial alterations will require at least 12 votes in favor and % of 80 or above.

From the brainstorming on the slack channel here are some possible things to consider:

1. Waiver claims for cut prospects (300k cost, lowest in standings gets first priority, use previous season for first month).

2. Weekly prospect bidding on fantrax in-season (therefore only MLB on the boards after opening day).

3. Allow teams to stash two players over the 400 AB/150 IP limit in their minors if they are on deals under $1m.

4. Increase MLB roster size by 2 spots for the playoffs (teams would require the necessary cap room).

5. Raise the min IP threshold in the playoffs (currently 30 IP); possibly have a buffer zone of 30-40 IP where you would only lose half of your ratio points.

6. Allow playoff teams to make signings after the deadline but with no re-sign rights (possibly only for pitchers if we raise the IP threshold).

7. Change the playoff tiebreaker to IP and batter GP (currently the higher seed advances).

If you have any other plausible suggestions then feel free to add them with an accompanying number.
