#18 In Season Add/ Drop of Minor Leaguers

Teams should have the ability to add/ drop minor leaguers in season.  Owners would have the right to use their one nuke per week to sign a free agent minor leaguer to their farm system as long as they stay within the roster limit.  Using their one nuke on a minor leaguer would prohibit a [...]

Rule #17: The Introduction of Player Options

This could’ve been posted already, I’m not sure.  Rich A first mentioned this during the season, and I liked it so I thought I’d post it.
Similar to MLB, I propose we incorporate player options on guys who are rookie eligible (…or maybe open it up to players with less than 3 years of service time?).  [...]

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 [...]

Super Bowl Squares

Who’s interested in SOT Super Bowl Squares?  Here is what I am thinking:
*$50 per team (paid at the wm)
*12 squares each picked at the wm
*4 wildcard squares (will be the remaining unclaimed squares)
*$100 pay out with end of quarter score winner
*For every wildcard square winner we pull a team name out of a hat at [...]

Winter Meeting Proposal #15- Expansion

Id like to put to a vote for an expansion team to begin in 2011. 2011 gives us time to work out details on expansion draft (majors and minors) and who exactly would be worthy of the team. I think 9 teams would be beneficial to the league. On a side [...]

WM Proposal #14 – Multiple Nukes

Teams should be allowed to use as many nukes as possible in any given week.

WM Proposal #13 – Adding a FA after Deadline

Example:  S. Richmond, a Free Agent, is scheduled to start wednesday night for Toronto.  In the past, we have been unable to add these types.  Let’s change this allow Richmond to be picked up that week.  Of course, Richmond needs to be activated prior to the start of this teams game.
Same would apply for a [...]

WM Proposal #12 “The he’s a SS because he played two games rule”

I’d like to double  this from 2 games to 4 games.  Having players with multiple position eligibility in SOT can be nice advantage.  I’m not looking to take this away, but just because a player lands at a position for two games, doesn’t seem like enough for me to say that player should be given [...]

WM Proposal #11 – Net Saves & Holds

It appears Net Stolen Bases was a success this year.  How do we feel about making the same happen for Saves and Holds in 2010?  I still have that spreadsheet from last year EE if you need to see how it works.

WM Proposal #10 – “The MoNathan Rule”

Fuentes 42, Mo 39, Nathan 37, Wood 25…
What do they have in common?  They led the league in saves and weren’t owned in SOT.  I think we all understand that the SV isn’t a perfect stat (what is?).  I think we all understand that closers are overrated.  I think we all understand that closers are [...]
