Yeah imo, the mistake was having the IP category and then a minimum IP requirement that is so high.


Where was everyone when I was saying this months ago?

probably right, but why stipulate active roster? what is the benefit of having a milb player in your active roster?

If you kept an milb player in your reserve spot you get to keep that guy plus not have to drop another one of your milb players essentially giving you 11 or more milb players.

I think it's there to promote competitive play and so an owner wont load up on a ton of minor league guys.

Realistically, on any given week, you can be at 45+ innings on Sunday and have four or more of your starting pitchers throwing that day, and unless you have four bench pitchers, each one of those pitchers MUST be in the starting lineup.



Well, yea it CAN happen, but it will be the exception more than the rule.

The same thing could happen in TDBL even though we don't have an IP cat. The benefits of making rosters stay full far outweighs the crap that ensues when you can leaves spots open or coming up with exceptions to that rule. If you are gonna have 4 starts on a day, plan accordingly.

Active roster is not your bench, if I'm not mistaken.

Active Roster are the guys that are actually in your starting lineup



I assumed active roster to be non-DL non minor league spots.

that's my point in stock piling minor talent. even if it's not active, you can still do it in reserve.

Active roster- guys that earn you points (starting lineup)

reserve roster- bench guys


A guy on your bench technically isnt active.

That's how i see it

if the spirit of the rule is to stop people from stockpiling minors players, being able to keep them on your reserve doesn't mitigate the problem.

but yes, it is worded poorly since active in these terms can mean your starting 18.

What would be the point of capping minor league roster then allowing people to have them on their bench?

If a minor league player has never been called up, he shouldn't kept anywhere but the major league roster.

as long as you are playing active players, i dont think there is much of a problem with stashing minor leaguers on your bench, if you are so inclined.

Thats great, but its about the rule thats in place, not what you think.

Active is our league means the same thing as the Active 25 man roster in MLB, its your major league roster.

If anyone has minor leaguers who have never been called up on their bench needs to move them to their minor league roster.

i dont see a big deal with them overlapping.

The point of having a cap is the same reason we have a cap on bench players. You have to draw the line somewhere.

so the rule won't apply to players with MLB experience who was sent down to the minors?

Correct. The rule is their because it would be a pain in the arse to make sure people move guys up and down as they move up and down in real life. But this gives people the option to stash them on their minor league roster if they want to have an active player on their team until the player hits the IP or AB threshold.

"c) Once a player has played in a MLB game, he can be moved back and forth from the minors to the active roster until the threshold is hit. Once that happens, the player can no longer be placed on a minor league roster, even if the player is actually no longer on an MLB active roster."

My bad it should have said minor league roster.

The point is for competitive balance, not a problem now but if people start stockpiling minor league players, then they will start stockpiling their bench too and will field a less competitive team.

Can I get Ray Black placed back on my team?

I dropped him thinking I had to move Rusney down to the minors and picked up Cliff Lee
