2012 Draft Position Eligibility

Current Rule:  20 games at a position in the prior (including farm).  If a player didn’t play 20 games at a position, then the position he played them most is used.   No more 10% or 20%.   That’s history Pal! We’ll have some players changing positions this year (Morneau DH) that won’t accumulate 2 [...]

Proposal # 9 Multiple Nukes to activate farm/reserve list

Owners should be allowed multiple nukes ONLY to activate players they own at the end of the draft either reserved or on the farm.  Example the draft ends and Flowers is on TRC reserve list and Joe Benson is on our farm……….Benson gets called up both players start playing well so we want to activate [...]

2011 WM Proposal #8 Players Lost to NL Compensation

To follow along with MLB: No draft pick compensation will be allowed to any SOT team for a player lost to NL via FA or Traded to NL unless the player was   1.  On your keeper List entering the season 2.  Drafted  onto your 24 (20 farm) roster.   This would eliminate teams from [...]

2012 Draft Compensation List

Here are the minutes from Pat.  Post any inaccuracies and/ or corrections that need to be made in the comments. MLB and MiLB Players lost to NL WAR (Offense) has replaced VORP o        Compensation rewarded at end of 2nd rd §         Higher the WAR, higher the pick if multiple guys qualify §         Milb, the higher the [...]

Proposal #7 Keeper Eligibility

MLB new rule doesn’t allow FA compensation to the team losing a player to FA the following year if that team acquired the player during the season.   For example,  the Sox add Roy Oswalt in July, he then leaves for FA.  The sox wouldn’t be able to get compensation. I’d like to apply this [...]

Proposal #6 25 Man Roster

MLB teams have the choice between how many pitchers or position players they want on their MLB active roster.  For instance, there may be times when the Rays carry 11 pitchers and the Sox carry 10, totally a strategy for what suites their needs at the time. I propose we move to a 25 man [...]

Proposal #5: If he’s on the farm he’s on the farm/Bartolo Colon Rule

The current “Bartolo Colon” rule states: Once a player exceeds MLB rookie status (150AB’s, 50IP, etc), he has to start the following season on an SOT active roster, regardless of his actual MLB placement – big leagues or minors. I propose we change this rule.  We initially added this rule to prevent Colon situations, where [...]

Proposal #4: The JM Is Killing My DraftDay Buzz Rule

I didn’t think it would come to this, but I’m afraid it has.  JM killed the Draft Day buzz with his performance last year, just flat out murdered it.  I think we need to initiate a clock on each pick, and I propose we start it at 3 minutes in Rd’s 1-2, then 5 minutes [...]
