Rule #16: Change the Spice Draft Reserve Rule
Current Rule:
SOT teams are allowed one reserve list (for injured players (Colon), players that have 6 or less years of MLB service time). However those players must occupy a roster spot on the day of the SOT Draft and can then be reserved after the regular draft is finished. A transaction draft will then take place open roster spots will be filled. Stats for players selected in the transaction draft do not count for first scoring period.
Proposed Rule:
Instead of allowing players with 6 or less years of MLB service time qualify here, I propose we move it to 3 or less years of MLB service time. In my opinion, players between 3-6 years should either be on your active roster, on your reserved list due to an injury, or a free agent. I don’t know if teams reserved players between 3-6 last year, but it looks like a loop hole.
What is considered a full year of MLB service time? Is it 162 games or is it a certain numbers of days on an active roster during a given year?
I believe it’s number of days on active roster, but I’d have to confirm. I pretty sure Cot’s lists accurate service times.
Cot’s does have it it all the way at the bottom
