Torre wasn't the first manager to do it. Every manager of every dynasty has done it. Cito Gaston was notorius and Bobby Cox has been as bad as Torre.
They should just make a rule that you can't add more than a fourth reserve from a team. If the fans want to elect the whole starting lineup...great for them. But if you've already got four (combination: voting and reserves) or more than four (voting), that should be that.
It's too hard on the manager of a good defending champ because his job is to keep
his players happy. It's bad for the fans. So tie his hands.
On a side note, the one rep per team rule needs to be done away with. With 32-man rosters these scrubs ain't gettin' in the game, anyway. There are too many undeserving players owing to the stupid process.
Here's Ken Rosenthal's take:
