• Brubaker nomination can continue, I will reverse Jeffers once complete.

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 28, 2021 5:44 PM

• I think moving forward I will presume that someone under those limits is Rookie of the Year eligible and if they are barred for service time reasons anyone can provide that information to me. After some quick searching it looks like they have service time on roster resource and Brubaker has 1.000 years of service time?

  The McCann Martians 👽 on February 28, 2021 5:40 PM

• Hey Rube, fair point. I think based on the wording of the constitution you're right, he's not MiLB eligible ("- MLB Rookie of the Year eligible (i.e., has less than 130 MLB At Bats if hitter, 50 IP if pitcher)"). I think in my other league we had the service time component but, as Mittens points out, service time is hard to find publicly, so we had switched to AB/IP only.

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 28, 2021 5:38 PM

• ok. how do you know how many days they were on a ML roster?

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 28, 2021 5:34 PM

• The following is from a Baseball America article: "Given that we were without September callups this season, days of service on the major league roster will include September 2020," MLB said in a statement. "Thus, any player who accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a major league club or clubs during the 2020 regular season or during previous seasons prior to Sept. 1 will no longer be considered a rookie in 2021."

• Since I nominated Brubaker, I would like some clarification. I was under the impression that if they spent more than 45 days in the majors in 2020, that means they lose rookie eligibility.

• Yes I think you're right, if someone knows how to cancel those moves please let me know, otherwise I will just have to remove them from whoever picks them up and reverse the cap hit.

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 28, 2021 2:30 PM

• Hey guys, while we are in the process of doing the MiLB draft, no MiLB eligible players can be added or dropped. Ryan Jeffers is MiLB eligible, and should not have been nominated, I will see if there's a way to cancel that out.

• Hey all, great draft today! Lotta fun. MiLB draft will start tomorrow at 12 et via the message board. Camel Crew has no.1 I think, and can pick whenever if they are ready. Reminder 8 hr clock, which is a little short for this type of draft so do your best to pay attention!

• cool, thanks! good luck everyone !

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 27, 2021 8:29 AM

• Yes, that's already the case. There are no add/drops of MiLB eligible players from the start-up auction until the initial MiLB draft is completed.

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 27, 2021 8:27 AM

• or... by rule you arent allowed to pickup anyone you cut from your 40 man for 30 days or something right? maybe just make the rule consistent with the milb draft as well. so that you cant draft anyone you cut from your 40 man roster for 30 days or something? does that make sense

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 27, 2021 8:26 AM

• to Grisham^ sounds fine but how do we prevent the franco scenario you brought up earlier? should any players drafted in this initial draft just be ineligible since the first milb draft is going to be right after anyway? that first pick insanely valuable. especially since you are expunging the cap hit from the previous owner. There's literally no reason for the guy with first pick to not spend $50 on franco, cut him, draft him first MILB, AND then get the $50 back for in season moves

• Ok everyone, we had two votes for Option A, so we will allow cut players to be eligible for all MiLB drafts. This aligns with how I had envisioned the rules (IV.c says eligibility is "not rostered on one of the League's primary rosters"). To make this clear I have added the following under IV.c: "This includes otherwise eligible players that have been cut from another team's 40-man roster" and "In the above scenario, the cap hit will be expunged from the prior owner"

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 27, 2021 12:13 AM

• changing the subject... Anyone want to switch draft positions? it's not the end of the world to me but the 8th is when my cat Tinkerbell was diagnosed with gingivitis so i have some really bad associations with that number. thanks in advance !

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 26, 2021 2:22 PM

• That's correct. The only restrictions that will ever exist on adding/dropping any players to your 40-man are (1) adding/dropping MiLB eligible players DURING one of the MiLB drafts (2) adding players on someone else's MiLB (I will place on restricted list so shouldn't be an issue)

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 26, 2021 12:02 PM

• I like option A. However, I have never had a supplemental MiLB roster, so this new to me.
  
  When I draft Wander Franco for $15 to my 40 man roster, then drop him on April 5th because I'm on a bender that makes me think adding Eric Sogard is a better option. Is Wander Franco immediately available for waivers? Is he eligible for waivers when he is called up to the Rays 26 man roster on April 17th? I'm assuming we would not have to wait until he reaches his 130 AB on May 17th, cor

• I can see the google doc. Looks good to me.

  Yabba-Da-Baddoo! on February 26, 2021 11:39 AM

• Now I remember what I did last year.
  As commissioner I was able to move players from the restricted list to the active rosters with the salary of a dollar and then drop that player without a penalty.
  So the team didn't get charged a penalty but the player was assigned a value of a dollar.

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 26, 2021 8:56 AM

• Also, why would you need to cut someone from your milb team if you can’t pick anyone up... there’s a free milb player cut period before the subsequent milb drafts right ?
  
  You don’t need to cut them any other time. Unless you are acquiring multiple milb guys in a trade ...

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 25, 2021 9:16 PM

• And yes if you have a guy with a $1 salary on your 40 man and cut him you don’t save any money. You have the $1 penalty. Let’s keep contracts out of the milb rosters right?

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 25, 2021 9:14 PM

• Meant to say if they have a salary it defeats the purpose of the milb system.

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 25, 2021 9:12 PM

• You can only add players to your milb roster during the milb draft correct?
  
  I think option B makes sense. It can reset each year. Anyone drafted or claimed during the year should be ineligible for the milb drafts that season. They will have a minimum salary at that point too so it defeats the purpose.
  
  I think that keeps it simple right?

  🧤 Guantes Saludables 🧤 on February 25, 2021 9:11 PM

• I'll follow the majority

  Jake on February 25, 2021 6:18 PM

• You might be right about that I always thought the penalty was because now you have an extra roster spot open.

  Jake on February 25, 2021 6:17 PM

• I'm pretty sure that if you drop someone with the salary of a $1 you have a $1 salary cap penalty.

  Ozzie-Mandias on February 25, 2021 5:53 PM

• Just keep in mind that if you drop a player with the salary of a dollar there is no salary cap penalty.

  Jake on February 25, 2021 5:52 PM

• If you're not going to give them a salary of a dollar and they're not picked up as free agents maybe you should make them available for a summer draft.

  Jake on February 25, 2021 5:39 PM

• Gruesome I know it's yout league but I've always played that in order to drop someone from the
  M i l b they first had to be called up to your 40-man roster and dropped giving them a salary of a dollar. It's also much easier because they go straight to the wavor wire.
