Hello All,
Baseball is back! As we gear up for the 2021 (real) season, lets start getting our Fantrax and Pro Board 26 man and 40 man rosters set. There are currently three teams who are in the red financially and we will name each one of them to ensure they get under the cap immediately; Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays....shame.
There is no PPP in ODC so make cuts (Stanton) and get under the cap ASAP.
Since most of you people don't read the rules, I want to remind you all of a few that you might not remember or you chose to ignore:
Conditional Waivers
In season you can send a (1) down to your minors, this exposes them to waivers, if that player is claimed you can revoke that player but he cannot be sent down again for 30 days.
A player must clear waivers to go to the free MiLB roster. In order to allow for roster flexibility, a 40-man roster does NOT have to be full at all times.
Players on the 40-man roster DO NOT COUNT toward the MiLB prospect limit; only those on the MiLB roster (paid or unpaid) will count toward the limit.
Offseason movement between the 26-man, 40-man, and MiLB rosters is unrestricted. The deadline for 40-man rosters and 26-man rosters to be first set is the Friday before the first Major League game of the season (including international games). [For 2015, this is April 3rd].
Trades:
Please list out players positions and full salary in trade posts and remember, cash is automatically applied to players in the trade (only) and any remainder cash is applied to Outstanding Balances. A few long standing owners and IRL Padres fan seem to forget this rule
Any Free Agent signed cannot be traded until May 1st.
Waiver Wire
4) Eligible waiver wire players need to accrue 30PA/15IP minimum in their career to be claimed.
5) A claimed player from the waiver wire can not be sent down to your minors until 30 days.
6) If a scale player is unclaimed, he will remain as such until someone puts a claim on him.
Waiving Scale Players
As of April 1st, all waived scale players will cost 50% cut penalty for their 2021 contract.
Injured List (2021 COVID Updated)
You get (7) IL spots, if a player gets put on the IL IRL, you are allowed to move them to your IL as long as you have a spot available. Then you are allowed to make a corresponding move of adding someone during the week to replace the injured player. If that said player gets activated from the IRL IL in another week, you are able to activate them from your IL and drop a player from your 26 man - mid week. A person moved to your IL spot will be labeled red on the Master Roster sheet.
You get (2) 60 day IL spot. A player has to be put on the 60 day IL IRL before they are moved to your 60 day IL. You should make a post indicating you are moving one person to the 60 day spot. They are eligible to return after 60 days from your ProBoards post. This spot does not count towards your 40 man roster but does count towards your salary cap. A player moved to your 60 day IL will be labeled bright green on the Master Roster sheet.
Weekly PA/IP Minimums
PA/IP minimums are raised to 75PA/20IP, A $1M cap penalty would be issued for the following year for each minimum not met throughout the season. This rule will end two weeks before the trade deadline.
In order for a player to gain eligibility at a new position, he must play 10 games there during the season. He must play 20 games at the position in order for the eligibility to be carried over into the next season.
No provisions or clauses in any trade. If a trade is posted to ProBoards and both or all teams accept it, it's final.
Set your rosters on Pro Boards, fix yo' Fantrax and get ready, baseball is coming up quick and penalties will be handed out quicker than Billy Hamilton's stint on an MLB team.
Lastly, as per Pat - Paul is no longer the oldest GM in ODC, congrats Paul!
Thank you.
