A few questions about the rules that came up:
1. Are player salaries guaranteed for each year. In other words, if you drop a $30 player during the season, do you get the $30 credited to you, or are you stuck with that salary throughout the year.
2. It looks like once minor league players reach the 150 ab/50IP threshold, they have to be called up to the active roster. What if the players active roster budget ($280) is maxed out?
3. Major league eligibility = >150AB/50IP Minor league eligibility - < 150AB/50IP
What about the players that are exactly at these threshold #'s (ex. Brett lawrie has exactly 150ABs in the majors). WHich draft will these players be eligible for?

Good question, our constitution doesn't address hitting the exact number and several of the sites I just visited to look up ROY qualifications is contradictory. Some say "fewer than", while others say "not to exceed"I do realize these sites count 130 AB for the standard, but the principal should be the same.

to answer your questions: 1. salaries are not guaranteed, if you drop a $30 player his salary will come off your cap.
2. yes a minor leaguer that reaches his 150 ab/50 ip(20 games) cannot be left on the minor league roster. you have 9 bench spots and 23 active spots if the minor league player is that good i believe you should be able to find a spot for him on the bench or active lineup. if for some reason you believe the lineup you have is better than the minor league player, then the minor league player must be dropped. if you are maxed out at $280 cap you will be dropping one of your players to be able to bring up the minor league player, thus reducing your cap. the minor league player will take that spot at a salary of $1 so at worst you will be at your max cap of $280.
3. major league eligibility should be 150 ab/50 ip(or 20 games) equal to these minimums or greater. a minor league player is anything with less than these minimums. Brett Lawrie is a wonderful example he will ONLY be eligible for the MAJOR LEAGUE DRAFT.
i will adjust this in the constitution to show egual or greater than the 150 ab/50 ip(or 20 games)

in addition to the above question. if a minor league player starts the week below these minimums then he is a minor league player for that week. if he hits his minimums during the week he will need to be adjusted for the following weeks scoring period.
keep any questions you may have coming. it is better to get clarity on something now instead of after or during the draft.

A few questions I have about the setup - I apologize if this is an inappropriate forum...
1st off, kudos to those of you who organized this league, well thought out and organized.
Here are my questions...
1. Why is the trade deadline so late in the season? Not a huge deal, just seems late to me.
2. Why no trading from the end of the season until the end of the year? I start suffering from baseball withdrawal around 48 hours after the world series ends. Is there a reason to not allow trading all year round (obviously not from trade deadline to the end of the year)? Certainly once the season is over you could only let trades happen between teams that are paid up for the following season, but just interested in commishes opinions.
3. When are Rule 4 picks available? I think the rules state only at the following season's minor league draft, but just want to confirm.
Thanks

holliday in response to your questions: 1. we like to trade and want trades to be available for as long as possible. that should leave about 6 weeks left in the season that there is no trading. we can establish another poll to see if anyone would like to shorten the trading season.
2. we love the idea of trading, but by starting the new trade season on Jan. 1st, there is a good 3 week period where you can poor your soul into trades. we do not have a problem if you contact owners through email and verbally work out trades, but we need to keep a firm date to start trading. this will allow teams to have a break and take a step back and evaluate the direction of their team. once again that does not keep you from approaching owners with tentative offers to be submitted on the opening of trade season.
3. I think what you are asking is what about the new draft class from June 2012? You can not pick these players up even in the major league free agent pool because we want everyone to have a chance at these players through auction. Ex. players drafted in the June 2012 draft class will ONLY be elegible for the MINOR LEAGUE draft in year 2013 or the Major League draft if the player reached the minimums in his call up.
