I've been mulling over getting rid of roster expansion in my indy league world. I'm not sure what this will do to player development. The issue I'm trying to curtail is good teams (AI and myself) go into a big slide after roster expansion because the reserve roster guys aren't very good and putting those bad players on the better teams hurts them worse then adding bad players to the already bad teams. I know teams can slide at any time but it's nearly like clockwork that the top 5-6 teams slide after expansion and the lower half of the teams do better after expansion.

My thought was extending spring training an extra couple of weeks to give the players the same amount of games a year but again I don't know if it would help or hurt.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
