Could David Ross Actually Provide Advantage as Scouting Restrictions Increase Unpredictability of 2020 Season?

What was already going to be an unpredictable season is becoming more so with each new wrinkle that comes out. Not only are teams playing a very limited schedule in terms of the number of games, but they’re facing only divisional opponents and their counterparts from the same division in the other league.

On top of that, rosters are limited to 60 players, up to 34 of whom will eventually be part of a taxi squad as active rosters pare down over the first few weeks. That seems like it would provide more flexibility than the traditional 40-man setup, but we simply have no idea how things will shake out in terms of health.
