A guy in our league has stopped playing for the rest of the year, and we were thinking of the best route to that. I was thinking to allow the league to redraft his team either on reverse standings or reverse draft positioning. Would the commissioner in a yahoo league be allowed to expand roster size and possibly add an extra utility position or two? Has anybody ever experienced a league where people start quiting?

every year there are one or two. But unfortunately there isn't really much you can do. If his team is still in tact. THe best route we have had, is allow the commish to make his roster the best he thinks it can and then leave it at that. You can't really take him out of the game, and there is no way to change the settings of the league once it has started (or atleast i don't know of one).
It sucks, but as long as everyone left agrees on what to do. Make the best of it.
man oh man. We have had 4 quiters and replaced them all but this last time. I think we should redraft the team in reverse standings just to make the second half more interesting (yes im losing). Plus it may make the other owners stick around a year if they think they have a legitamate shot at next year. Better than letting Prior sit on the bench for the rest of the year.
Look, if the guy didn't quit then how would that change YOUR team? It wouldn't. I don't see why it should be any different just because the guy did quit.
I think a redraft would be unfair. Some are going to make out better than others in the draft. Adding an extra utility spot would be changing the rules while you are midway through the season.
Sure it sucks to have a quitter, but as mentioned earlier, just have the commish play the guy's best possible lineup. It will still be like having an owner, just a very inactive one.
I had two quitters in my league last year, and sure it sucked, cuz they had some guys that I was looking to trade for. But at least if I wasn't going to get those guys, then no one else was, which is very fair.
If he really quit, then maybe the commish could take over his team and get a new owner. If he can't, then it depends on league type. It is more of a problem in H2H.
At this point in the season it would be unfair to redraft his team unless you are at the exact mid-point of the season. Otherwise you'll have teams who played him twice already getting the shaft. Even if you are at the mid-point redrafting a whole team's roster can really unbalance the league. I would just set the roster so there are no gaping holes and then lock it and leave it.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
