DL Rules:
-- Players can remain on the DL through the off-season if it is probable they start the next season on the DL.
-- The deadline to remove the players from your DL who are not expected to start the following season on the DL, will be Dec. 1.
-- There will be a separate board for DL Reviews. If, during the off-season, you see someone stashed on another player's DL who is not going to start the next season there, you can start a new thread calling that player's DL status up for review. The person calling for the review must prove their case. Once proven, the owner will be allowed to state his case as to why the player should be allowed to stay, if they so choose. At this point, the 5 members of the Review Committee will vote. If a player is ruled as ineligible for the DL, their owner will have exactly 48 hours to make room for them on the roster, or lose them to the free agency pool.
-- Players on your minor league roster are not eligible to be placed on the DL.
Trades:
-- Both majors and minors players & picks may be traded and for each other.
-- Verbally agree upon trades must be posted in the Reviewed Trades board of the Trade Office and must be accepted by the other team. The non-posting team MUST post his acceptance or the trade is not official unless both owners make arrangements through the LM due to certain circumstances where one owner may not be able to post on here. Trades may then be discussed.
-- After the trade is posted, each team may be asked to express their reasoning for the trade to help aid the Trade Review Committee.
Trade review:
Approval: A trade review committee will vote on the trade. Committee will consist of 3-5 owners, selected by the LMs, who are consistently online and active.
**Vetoes -- If 3 or more managers express a feeling of collusion in a trade, the current trade veto committee will vote.**
-- Once a trade has amassed a majority of approves from the Trade Review Committee, the deal passes.
-- League members not on the Trade Review Committee are welcome to politely voice their opinion on trades to aid in the review process. Please remember though, unless it is obvious collusion, the trade will not be vetoed.
-- Once trades are approved they must be proposed and accepted on ESPN where an LM will approve the trade
Major League Waiver Wire:
-- Teams can claim anyone that is a major league free agent by posting it in the free agent waiver wire thread (we haven't been crazy about enforcing this, but doing so will help avoid most problems). Also, when you claim someone, we ask that you immediately add that person to your major league roster on this site and the ESPN one. Also, please do not edit old posts when adding/dropping a player - create a new one. This will hopefully prevent confusion when someone goes to add a player that was quietly added via editing an old post.
- The waiver claim system must also be respected in the off-season. If you claim a recently dropped player on our proboards site and another owner uses a waiver claim on ESPN, the owner who used the waiver claim on ESPN will be awarded the player.
- If a recently dropped player passes thru the waiver period unclaimed, he then becomes a free agent. Free agents can then be added on a first-come, first-served basis. **Please add the free agent on ESPN, then create a thread on our Proboards site**
Minor League Rules
Call-ups: You may call-up minor league players to your active MLB roster at any time. You MUST make a new thread in the Call-ups board of the GM's Office titled as that player's name stating inside that you are calling him up.
Send-downs/Options: Minor leaguers who have not yet reached 130 MLB ABs or 50 IP may be sent back down to your minor league roster at a maximum of twice. If a player passes these limits while on your ESPN/Major League roster, he cannot be sent down. Please make a new thread in the Send-downs board if you choose to send a player down.
If a player on your minor league roster surpasses the MLB AB/IP limit, you do not have to call that player up. That player may remain on your minor league roster until the beginning of the next regular season. If a player on your minor league roster is found to have surpassed the limits before the start of the regular season, he may be added to a MLB roster by any owner.
Adds: Added through the minor league waiver wire (see details below in the minor league waiver wire section) or through the first year player draft held in the new year.
Drops: We will drop minor leaguers prior to a minor league first year player draft or to make room for more minor leaguers coming over in trades.
Future Drafts
MiLB Every offseason we will hold the first year player draft to replenish our minor league systems after the MLB draft signing deadline. More details later.
Future MiLB Drafts:
-- MiLB first year player drafts will be held at some point after the deadline for MLB organizations to sign their draft picks.
-- Before each draft you may drop any and as many minor leaguers on your roster as you wish.
-- The picks may be traded.
-- Players that are eligible to be drafted are any MLB draftee who has signed via that years first year player draft.
-- The draft order is determined by the reverse of the previous year's standings.
-- 12 hour time limit. If missed you will be skipped and you will then receive a pick at the end of the corresponding round. *Please do not miss your turn*
Minor league waiver wire:
-- Teams can claim rights to a minor league free agent by creating a thread, then adding them to a major or minor roster. A minor leaguer is defined as any active player who has signed with a major league team. This excludes college players and international players. **Maximum of one each day. ** When adding or dropping a minor league player, please include the action in the title of the thread. Ex/ Add Grant Green INF/LAA
-- Please update your roster accordingly.
-- Please use the search engine to see if a player is owned. The minor league master list is updated as often as possible, but it is not 100% perfect.
-- Also, please do not edit old posts when adding/dropping a player - create a new one
**If you notice a player you own is not on the minor league master list, or notice someone who should be removed from the list, please let a commissioner know so it can be rectified asap. This has to be a group effort - It is a big list**
